CREED II (Theatrical Release USA 2018)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.4|5.0 Starsìììì

Creed II—almost as good as the first Creed (2015)—has the pump and feel of some of the training scenes from the Rocky films. The difference is the Rocky movies had incredible, unforgettable music that accompanied the scenes which served to intensify the realistic, grueling training. Despite this, don’t miss this film. Director Steven Caple, Jr. timed the scenes well with terrific camera work that caught the emotion of the moment. Terrific conclusion is worth waiting for.

Storyline
