‘Creed II’ Review: A heartfelt sequel that takes us back to ‘Rocky IV’
While ‘Creed II’ is the sequel to the massive hit ‘Creed’ that came out in 2015, more than anything, it is the continuation of the ‘Rocky’ franchise making ‘Creed II’ the eighth installment. To say it’s hard to keep a story alive and fresh for this long is an understatement, however the team behind ‘Creed’ and ‘Creed II’ are able to do so with flying colors.
Starring Michael B. Jordan, Sylvester Stallone and Tessa Thompson, ‘Creed II’ follows Adonis Creed after he wins the heavyweight championship. Things in his life have never been better, he is engaged and has a baby on the way and has everything he could ever want. However the one thing he sorely misses in life is his deceased father Apollo Creed, whom he is constantly trying to live up to.
