Creed II

If you count all of the Rocky movies, “Creed” from two years ago and this entry, there are now eight films in the series. “Creed” reinvented the series and put new life into Sylvester Stallone’s character. “Creed II” continues the story of Adonis Creed, who still has a chip on his shoulder. He’s the World Heavyweight Champion and is challenged by the son of the man who killed his father in the ring. Lots of family angst, including marriage and children. While not as innovative or compelling as the first “Creed’, it is still a worthy successor. It keeps your interest, but only picks up steam during the final fight scene. Michael B. Jordan is a talent to watch. He was so good in “Black Panther” and does a great job in this film. Worth seeing.
