    I completes disagree about the second Creed lacking the heart of the first film. The scene where Adonis and Bianca check to see if their baby can hear will be a scene that I’ll never forget along with the scene where Rocky sees his grandson and tells him that he looks like his grandmother.

      The worst beating Adonis got in that movie was not from Viktor. It was finding out that his daughter was born DEAF. The worst beating Rocky suffered in Rocky 3 was the death of Micky and his worst beating in Rocky 4 was Apollo's death.
      In some of these boxing movies the worst "beatings" that the protagonist suffers happen when nobody is punching them.

      Yeah, but that’s only one part of the movie. It’s not really a plotline that permeates through the whole storyline. It’s not something that Adonis carries with him in to the ring, so to speak. In comparison to the first movie, where his abandonment and living in the shadow of his dad looms over everything he does heading into and during the fight.

      @@thedefinitionisthis But in Creed 2 he has to deal with the struggle of finding something to fight for which includes his relationship with Bianca and his daughter and even Rocky. Also I would argue that the emotion is way more felt with Drago and his son as they are trying to prove to the woman who left their life that they are good enough and not a humiliation to their country.

      @@kylearking8918 I’ll agree to a degree that the heart lies more in Drago’s storyline. But even that’s not developed 100% fully, and that’s give only a single scene. Adonis “losing” the fight didn’t really get me in the feels, because end of the day, it was just a bruised ego. Given what it took to get him to fight Drago the first time, it really was just ego. I dunno, everything just felt surface level to me in Creed 2. It wasn’t bad per se, but it just didn’t hit me the way the first movie builds to that one moment where Adonis just bluntly says that he has to prove that he’s not a mistake. For part 2, despite being the champ, he won’t feel like it unless he simply beats… another challenger. There was a deleted scene in Creed 2 that I wish was kept, as I feel that would’ve driven the emotion and themes home more, and possibly elevated the movie’s emotional core. After their second match, Adonis & Viktor share a heart-to-heart of sorts, and come to this understanding that they both need to not be consumed by whatever quarrel their fathers (and Rocky) had, and THAT is what let’s them both move on; not from fighting for foolish pride.

    I have no sympathy for Sylvester Stallone on this issue. Here's why in order to make the first Rocky he begged borrowed pleaded and he sold the rights to the story so it can be made and negotiated so he wants to the Star of the movie. Off of that success he has had one of the most successful acting careers of the last 50 years. Specifically in the 80s and '90s. If he wanted to buy back the franchise he should have tried it before Rocky Balboa or afterwards. Before they even made the first Creed. This whole situation sounds to me like somebody who's greedy because something can be successful without him necessarily being front and center. I don't feel guilty for somebody who is complaining about money but has also made hundreds upon hundreds of millions of dollars more money than I will ever send my lifetime so I have zero sympathy for Sylvester Stallone on this specific issue

He didn't do that and then after Rocky Balboa in the intervening years before they made Creed same thing . And maybe he tried and they said no but I would think if he tried before we could have heard something. It seems like he wanted them just to give him back something he sold and yes Rocky is a billion dollar franchise but come on you can't tell me Sylvester did not get a good chunk of that himself over the years between what he made for making them and residuals. On top of all the other movies he's made. I mean he is legitimately iconic with two different franchises Rocky and Rambo you had in the expendables demolition Man and all the other movies he's made he's made his money and then some

      It sucks when creators don't own their IPs. But Sly chose to sign a contract that lacked foresight. As you said, Sly launched a long acting career off the success of Rocky. He had enough time & money to renegotiate his contract or just buy the franchise outright...It's just sad to see the Sly Truthers take this as an opportunity to bash MBJ as if he's trying to steal the franchise from Stallone.

      He meant in terms of personal connection to his opponent in Viktor. Viktor didn't do anything to Adonis. Ivan did. As tantalizing as it is to have the sons of two former fighters go head-to-head, really what is solved by beating Drago's son in the ring? Both Adonis & Viktor have a superficial connection, but it's not like the two were ever really in each other's lives, until they were both essentially forced to fight one another. "Creed II" was more about bruised egos than anything. There was a deleted scene that actually kind of addressed this; the fact that they really didn't need to fight. I wish it was kept in, as it hammered home the message of these two young fighters distancing themselves from a feud that honestly has nothing to do with them as individuals.

    This whole situation behind the scenes with Sly just has me confused. I love Sly and always felt he, Michael B Jordan, and Ryan Coogler were strong friends and held great respect for one another, hence why Sly was hesitant to do another Rocky film again until Coogler came along with the script and be both loved it and trusted Coogler to handle the IP well. And because he enjoyed the first 2 projects, he felt comfortable enough to step away and allow the IP to continue. But since he and the producer have had a bad relationship, it feels like he backtracked and is now boycotting it. But I feel if he actually had respect for MBJ and Coogler, he wouldn't let that get in the way and hide that so he can show support for MBJ's first directorial debut. It just seems slightly petty on his part. I get it's mainly HIS IP but he's willing to shine a bad light on the film for an acting partner it seemed he respected and loved?

    That’s great to hear, I’ve been so psyched to see this movie, I love the first one and I think the second one is great too and from the trailers this honestly looks like the best of the trilogy, because one of the few weaknesses of the first 2 Creed movies for me were the antagonists, in the first one he was just some random guy and while it was cool that he was connected to Ivan Drago his son was kinda bland and didn’t really have any character, up till now the antagonists in these movies have just been guys for Adonis Creed to punch and nothing more, but Jonathan Majors’ character actually has a legitimately compelling story behind him and so I think that’s gonna make this movie feel like it has a lot more weight behind it, as usual whenever I hear an actor is now directing a movie it does give me a little feeling of hesitation but I still think this movie looks great and I’m excited to see it

    I'd never seen a Rocky or Creed film before seeing this. I'm also no fan of boxing so was curious to see whether I'd be able to be engaged by the film.
    I was taken aback by how thrilled I was by this. I loved the soundtrack, the performances, the costume (damn, I want to look as good as Michael B Jordan does in a tracksuit) and the story. My only reservation was that the whole family aspect of the film felt rather crowbarred in and , without trying to give away spoilers, there is a significant moment for creed in this that feels rather throwaway by the time we get to the end. I feel that this aspect of the film could have been a whole different film about loss and family but in this movie felt a little out of place to me. Other than that a solid film 8/10.

    • @thedefinitionisthis

      If we’re being honest, Sly tends to backtrack and change his tune over things. He said as far back as Creed II, that he had zero intention to reprise Rocky. But then recently he says he disagreed with the direction of the film when he read the script. Either way, I think he was always fine with them moving on past Rocky; he just chooses not to involve himself with it now if Winkler is involved.
