would like to claim that like four years ago while setting up my account here i had some kind of female intuition that some really great rocky sequels would soon be released and that’s why i picked this username but really i was just very into rocky the musical and now you all know my dark secret

i think about the fact that dolph lundgren has a master's degree in chemical engineering constantly

Sacrifices almost all of Coogler's emotional intelligence and nuance for, well, a pretty generic ROCKY sequel with Adonis' arc one of masculine pride restored. In fact it's the Dragos who have the more succinct and novel underdog story (honestly I was sort of rooting for them, and anyway it's great to see Dolph in a dramatic role, no matter how small). The performances are so convincing that it's still relatively effective by the end but the last thing this movie should've been is merely acceptable.

Shoulda called it CRIED II cause that’s what I did at the end thank you try the veal tip your waitstaff.

Full review at ScreenCrush.

The fight scenes got the crowd of middle schoolers in my theater to actually pay attention, cheer, gasp, and applaud, so I'd say the movie is pretty effective.

I’m sorry idris elba but I do believe michael b jordan deserved to be this year’s hottest man alive.... also when will tessa thompson release an album already? god that voice!!!!

So I think I liked this more then the first Creed. Maybe I'm wrong on this one but I had much more of an emotional investment here through the character's struggles where as the first I felt just had more of a traditional underdog story.

If this is the film Stallone wants to end his career on, I'll be happy.

Under the tutelage of Rocky Balboa, heavyweight contender Adonis Creed faces off against Viktor Drago, son of Ivan Drago. Good movie, my least favorite of the 8 Rocky movies...

While I missed the grit of the first one, this is still a really solid sequel. Still has the heart and everyone is excellent in their roles.

A damn good sequel in a year that saw many other disappointing continuations. Sure, the story is predictable as hell and it's got some pacing issues in the middle, but besides that it stands tall with the first Creed movie as a two ark story of the character Adonis Creed. Michael B. Jordan is great again, while Tessa Thompson has more material to work with, and their relationship throughout secures the emotional tone of the film. Also, one of the best things about the film is its decision to portray the two antagonists, the Dragos, not as one note villains, but complex individuals who've been through a lot. Stallone is also back to give Adonis the confidence much neded and some encouraging speeches. So overall, a damn fine film!

Okay it was a great movie i could say but from the beggining it was predictable of what it was gonna happen. The protagonist would be a great champion when suddenly someone challenges him to fight and he underestimate him and he lose and the second fight he beats him and becomes a champion again. Yeah this is typical. But anyway it was Michael B Jordan and Stalone so you should watch it!

Why do I love Rocky so dang much makes no sense man 😭😭

Rocky IV was always my favorite...and this feels like a perfect sequel

Led by outstanding work from Michael B. Jordan and Sylvester Stallone, "Creed II" delivers a solid and crowd-pleasing sequel.

This pulled me in from the start. So much heart. A truly worthy sequel.
