Came out in November but I just saw it for the first time last night. If you loved Rocky IV then you will love this direct sequel to Drago v Rocky. Saw Creed two years ago and liked it. It helped make up for that bad Rocky 5 with that great White hope that eventually passed away from the hiv.....
Creed 2 has Apollo’s bastard kid fighting Dragos boy....you see after Drago got beat by Rocky in Moscow back in 1985, Drago basically was shunned by his country and wife. Yes, even Bridgette Nielsen is back for a few brief cameos. Drago and his abandoned son live in a perfectly placed dump high rise in suckitstan and his son fights the local talent by beating them within one inch of death in the early rounds. Now that Creeds son is the heavyweight champion somebody gets a brilliant idea to have Drago and Apollos bloodlines fight again. No James Brown this time around but the story follows Rocky IV very closely......The fight sequences are legit, especially the last fight in Russia. Worth the two hours as it is well directed.
