The surprisingly successful reboot of the Rocky franchise gets an equally surprising successful sequel. All the main characters from "Creed" return in a movie that could have been a virtual remake of Rocky IV on paper, but it definitely isn't. In fact, the return of Dolph Lundgren (in his best role ever, though that doesn't mean much) as Rocky's old rival Ivan Drago (who beat Apollo Creed to death in the ring in Rocky IV) dating his son [Florian Munteanu, also excellent] seeking reparation after Ivan's loss to Rocky more than 30 years ago, the film gives a psychological depth that gives Creed II its own identity. Note how Drago's training methods resemble Rocky's in Rocky (1976), but also the effective way in which the Dragos use a mirror image from Rocky and Creed. The boxing scenes are once again superbly staged and Stallone and Jordan are once again at their peak. It results in a standalone boxing drama with some very moving moments and a fitting finale.

Bringing back Dolph Lundgren is obviously a masterful move, but other than that subplot, this sequel falls into all the known pitfalls. The characters no longer develop, the events feel forced and there is a surplus of superfluous developments. The role of Stallone also feels very perfunctory here. The film is somewhat saved by some fine boxing matches; especially the finale is impressive. This Creed II at least has that in common with the earlier Rocky films.

lifeless.

I can still have the first Creed as a sidestep in the already completed Rocky saga. With Creed II the freshness has already gone and a typical sequel is presented. Besides Rocky himself, it's up to the Drago family to be the link to the original movies.

Somehow that could have been promising. I think Rocky IV is a nice film: a typical eighties product, rather wrong and tacky but extremely entertaining. But Dolph Lundgren's Drago is no longer the sweaty Eastern Bloc with legendary one-liners, but a tormented father figure. The seriousness of it did not appeal to me in any case.

The feud between the Dragos and the Creeds is totally uninteresting, the somewhat sad atmosphere from the Rocky films has long since disappeared for a somewhat pimped African-American vibe. All the hyped up sentiment about Adonis, moderately played by Michael B. Jordan, seems to have to carry the film, but it achieves the opposite.
