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.

Andrea Gronvall Chicago Reader Battle fatigue sets in roughly halfway through this eighth installment of Sylvester Stallone's Rocky franchise. Feb 22, 2020 Full Review David Sims The Atlantic Creed II fits the mold of every Rocky sequel-competent, entertaining, and a little passionless Dec 21, 2018 Full Review Brooke Obie Shadow and Act There's... so much to enjoy in Creed II. Dec 6, 2018 Full Review Max Greene InSession Film 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. Rated: B+ Aug 1, 2024 Full Review Calum Cooper Source (Scotland) Watching the characters struggle to manage the consequences of the past with the responsibilities of the future is both interesting and dramatic. Rated: 3/5 Jul 14, 2024 Full Review Denise Pieniazek Metacultura (AR) 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. Rated: 7/10 Dec 28, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Kendrick W Excellent Story Line Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/01/25 Full Review David Stunning story & gravitating actors Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/23/25 Full Review CaptainBoulder T Great movie were Creed finally gets revenge for his dad Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/21/25 Full Review tommy J 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/10/25 Full Review Mr.Homebody#18 M In my honest opinion I think Creed 2 is better than the first both Creed 1&2 are great but I like the second out of the trilogy Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/11/25 Full Review Max K Excellent story and regardless of its problems, it manages to maintain the level of its predecessor. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/27/25 Full Review Read all reviews
