Emma @ The Movies (1786 KP) rated Creed II (2018) in Movies
Sep 25, 2019
I had a lots of urges to leave in the first half of the film. There was very little happening and the script seemed a little bit half arsed. I was rather optimistically thinking that the film was nearly over when the fight was announced. Luckily the action packed second half of the film was much more engaging.
The emotion was so much more real. There were plenty of opportunities to shine in the first half but none of it grabbed me until we got into the first fight between Creed and Drago.
If we discount the beginning then the rest of Creed II is an excellent story of family loyalty and letting go of the past.
Did anyone take a word count for Viktor Drago? I imagine that most of his script just read "*glares with [insert random emotion here]*". Despite the fact we have a long list of excellent actors no one seemed to give a memorable performance. There was certainly nothing that made me want to go back and watch any of the others in the franchise.
What you should do
Unless you're absolutely obsessed with Rocky and Creed then you should probably just wait for this one when it's streaming.
Movie thing you wish you could take home
That apartment with it's amazing view would be a very therapeutic thing to come home to.
