Critics Consensus

Creed II's adherence to franchise formula adds up to a sequel with few true surprises, but its time-tested generational themes still pack a solid punch.

Battle fatigue sets in roughly halfway through this eighth installment of Sylvester Stallone's Rocky franchise.

Creed II fits the mold of every Rocky sequel-competent, entertaining, and a little passionless

Yes, Creed II is a boxing film. Yes, it is a story that we have seen played out at least seven previous times. But there is so much more under the surface, and that is where Creed II shines.

3/5

Watching the characters struggle to manage the consequences of the past with the responsibilities of the future is both interesting and dramatic.

7/10

In conclusion, Creed II is a solid film with a convincing performance of Michael B. Jordan who asserts himself in the character. This sequel is what the fans expected, but it must be admitted that it provides few innovative elements.

A great movie based on classic Rocky history. Another great Rocky movie. The only thing, which i have seen in other Rocky movies is having opponents not even close ein weight fighting each other. Adonis is way smaller than Drago, so was Apollo and Drago and even rocky was smaller than drago. Realistically neither should be able to win but neither of those fights should have happened, of course Apollo and drago was supposed to have been an exhibition.
