This was my second time watching the sequel. And I gotta say, while it isn't as good as the first movie, it holds up extremely well and the movie has some beautiful moments in it. I particularly love the entire sequence when Hiccup's mother and father reunite for the first time in 20 years. It's such a well-done scene and it's touching. The middle act feels like it meanders a bit too much, but overall an extremely solid film!

Over-dramatic
Too fast-paced, verging on silly
Mark Douglas' small Scottish life is about to take a bit of a turn, starting with his wife not picking their son up from school. The story spirals into despair and heart break.

I enjoyed the relationship between father and son but the story feels very rushed and silly. It was quite predictable really with such a focus on key parts of the story as it goes downhill.

I really enjoyed this film. It is a little long, but it feels really right. I think Brad Pitt did phenomenal, as well as Cate Blanchett. They were definitely the highlights - Taraji P. Henson too. I find this story super interesting and the details that went into creating this film are really incredible. I can't say I'll ever watch it again - 3 hours is a long time - but I'm really happy that I can add it to my seen list.

Feels a move away from the Rocky films
No knockout blow
A decent Boxing film, wasn't a big fan of the 2nd film so hoped this was better. The fight scenes are well choreographed but overall the film is too predictable and following the old formula of the Rocky films. Despite this feeling a move away as Stallone is not in this one. Entertaining but maybe time to throw the towel in for the Creed franchise.

You don’t have to do this
First time seeing this movie been wanting to watch this for years never finding the time till now thru paramount plus. Anyway the film brilliant movie start to finish it feels like a western in a way with the hero the villain and the sheriff all play out some stolen drug money and there’s javier Bardem as the villain cold ruthless killer probably my favourite bad guy on film I’ve seen this year
