Creed v.s. Drago

Jay Lucio, Reporter

Creed II, directed by Steven Caple Jr., is a great boxing film. It follows the story of Adonis Creed, son of Apollo Creed. Yes, that Apollo Creed. Adonis faces the challenge of his life, facing an opponent tied to his family’s past. Viktor Drago is the son of Ivan Drago, the man who killed Apollo Creed in the ring. The movie is a rollercoaster of emotions and heartbreaking action.

This incredible film is for family and friends to enjoy. One bad thing about this film is that it’s lacking what the other sequels had that make the Rocky movies so special, the morals. Another negative thing about this movie is that it doesn’t develop the antagonist.

With a cast including Sylvester Stallone, Michael B. Jordan, Tessa Thompson, Dolph Lundgren, and Florian Munteanu, this movie is a total masterpiece. Creed II also has amazing training montage scenes like previous sequels.
