Everything GREAT About Creed 2!

Creed 3 is finally here! It's in theaters today! Creed II takes a look back at the Dragos and the Creeds and even the Rockys. So here's everything right with Creed 2!

Loved the Drago storyline. It never crossed my mind what happened to him after he lost.

[steadyalbatross]

I think my fav part of this film is how relatively subdued Drago is in this movie. Lundgren gives so much suppressed anger and sadness off without being a caricature

[Argumemnon]

It's also important to mention one deleted scene, where Adonis visits Drago's son post-fight and Rocky and Ivan part ways. One of the best scenes in the movie, sadly cut out.

How did you not win Viktor’s final entrance, the sad piano notes mixed in with the anthem… Ludwig is a maestro.

[smalf]

I appreciate you recognizing how good "he's a balanced breakfast" is as a compliment cause I started throwing that into my lexicon when this movie came out

[TonyTylerDraws]

I love that this series acknowledges that life goes on. We love. We lose. We get old. We die. Even after our “story” is done

[rsw]

16:31 Not gonna lie when the Rocky music started playing I got all teary eyed. Definitely an emotional scene.

[Gambit]

I feel like Rocky reuniting with his estranged son and meeting his grandson was the perfect moment to close the chapter on for him whether Sylvester had chosen to return instead of choosing to stay out. Its a perfect moment for him to kind of truly settle down and pass the baton truly

[UltraMagnis]

This film got me with the baby testing scene. My son was born with autism level 3 and that feeling of hopelessness and not being in control can make you feel like you are going mad. It literally made me tear up because I've had that conversation with myself. Hit me like a ton of bricks. When we were getting tests done and getting bad news....for our kid....it was so hard. It changes you.

It's similar to grief in a way, you had a plan in your head and that plan is now upside down and backward for your little one. You look for who to blame when it's no ones fault it's just part of life. You can either let it take you over and be a victim of it or you can get up put one foot in front of the other and formulate a plan, execute it to the best of your ability and love them.

[EScoglio]

Rarely do I think you missed a win, but one is needed for Rocky and Drago's meeting in the restaurant. Sly's look like he's seeing a ghost, Dolph speaking more words in that one scene than the entirety of Rocky IV, and Rocky not sitting at the same table as Drago so he can stay out of Drago's reach. I love this movie, but that scene is arguably my favorite.

[RyansChannel]

Still one of the best film sequels ever.

[CLNCJD]

As someone who wrestled in high school, what you said about hearing someone at 15:18 you sorta tone out everyone in the stands, parents, teammates, everyone….except your coach.

There were times I could hear exactly what I needed to do from my coach despite 7 other matches going on at once at a tournament.

[Nice_Guy]

What you said about his wife when he said she left him is exactly what I spent the whole movie thinking to myself.

If she left him because he lost *one* fight, albeit the most important one in his career, maybe she was never his in the first place. I hate that he beats himself up over it, but at least he is able to let go of his anger in the end. This movie did a great job of humanizing Drago to the point where I found myself thinking:

"She doesn't deserve you, big man."

[s.haynes]

My ONLY issue when I saw Creed II was that Drago senior never showed remorse for killing Apollo Creed. And the best time to show that was when he was sitting in the restaurant or in the deleted locker scene where he could have asked forgives from Adonis

[minnierkive]

I really hope the rumours of a
Drago spin-off are true. If there are any characters that deserve be explored further it’s Ivan and Viktor.

[kebabgameshehexd]

The deleted locker room scene deserves 5 wins. It adds so much to the characters and also puts a satisfying closure to them. And also the ringwalks in this movie is straight fire

[TheThor]

I cried with the drago story and with the scene of rocky sitting there giving the torch to creed, just, just, I went to the movie theater twice to see it and both times I cried

[Arosukir]

This movie had one of the most memorable, gut-wrenching close-ups I've ever seen.

When Creed hears the news about his daughter Amara (Lee mentioned the tests in this video), the camera just very, very slowly dollies toward his face in a fairly long take. Iirc, we don't hear the doctor actually say the results, but we know what they are because of the way Adonis' face dissolves into tears.

Michael B. Jordan's performance is so good! The way his lip starts to quiver, his eyes reddening, every muscle in his face tensing. You literally see the tears forming and spilling out. Gave me straight shivers when I saw it in the theater. I couldn't help but cry with him. Give this man all the awards, please and thank you!

[darksol]

Man, I remember actually tearing up when Viktor got up after Ludmilla left. The man didn't just have nothing left, he was so devastated... I remember pleading at the screen for Donnie to let up, I felt such genuine pity for him.

[AirbenderHawk]

LETS

Drago's storyline really reeled me in as he lost everything, it motivated him to regain that glory he had back in the 80's, and every single actor did amazingly in this follow up, Tessa and Michael's chemistry is palpable. I saw Creed 3 last night and it was glorious, the anime styles are definitely there in the fights.
