I liked this movie but it wasn't close to the first one. This continues the story of Creed as he battles a new opponent, Viktor Drago who is the son of Ivan Drago. He also has a family to take care of which I thought wasn't balanced well with his boxing. The movie from almost the beginning was very predictable. I could see where it was going right from the start.The best thing about the movie was the acting specifically from Michael B. Jordan who portrays all emotions from strength to vulnerability throughout. The boxing fights also felt very real. The soundtrack was also great and when I heard the Rocky theme, I got goosebumps. The ending with even the "antagonist" was pretty good.
Overall, I think I am now finding it hard to watch movies with sports that are based on hitting people. I do not want to pass judgements and I know there is certainly sporting techniques that boxing needs but its still hard for me to watch.
