Creed II (2018)

Honestly, it was just kind of boring and totally predictable—way too much forced drama and conflict for my taste. I was actually rooting for the Drago family the whole time! They seriously need a spinoff featuring someone like Ivan Drago.

This thread was actually opened five months before this one.

I’m a huge fan of this franchise—especially those first three movies—but honestly, this one is kind of garbage. It's just way too much melodrama and cliché. I guess it feels pretty predictable, boring, and totally unnecessary. First, Ivan Drago was supposed to be Ukrainian, and then suddenly he's just some Russian guy.

A remake of the fourth one.

😁 🤣

I think the best part of the movie is really just the dynamic between Young and Old. It’s kind of like seeing Rocky in his later years—this cynical, tragic figure who’s lost pretty much everything. His wife, his friends, his trainer... even his own son doesn't really know him. Honestly, I guess Stallone is what carries this whole franchise. It all kind of went downhill after the fourth one anyway.

What a waste. This guy has zero presence. No charisma whatsoever. I’m riding with Drake 😁

The movie was actually pretty solid, maybe even better than Rocky II.
But man, the forum is just full of the usual trolls, as always.

It’s basically a carbon copy of the fourth one, though they did a better job showing both sides of the story. It’s all stuff you’ve seen before—solid fights, sure, but honestly? Pretty boring.

The only saving grace here is Dolph... Creed II and his leading lady are just painfully dull. Honestly, just steer clear of this one.

The movie is alright, but it’s nowhere near the Rocky franchise. I just couldn't get into the lead; it's not even about bad acting, he just doesn't come across as a dangerous fighter. Stallone and Dolph felt way more menacing.

Lol, I honestly don't know if this is actually true, but there's some talk going around about Rocky III being in the works, and apparently the bad guy might be the son of Clubber Lang from Rocky. And get this—he’d be played by none other than Deontay Wilder, the current undefeated WBC champion in the heavyweight division.

DJ, this is just pathetic 🤦
Let me guess, the next opponent is Tommy Gunn's kid?
