Also, thank god Sage Northcutt didn't get anywhere near this thing.
There is no way I would have wanted to see half a movie now and half a movie later. It's a boxing movie. You wrap it up in one film. Sure, the pacing wasn't always perfect in this film, but it was fine as it is. Really enjoyed it.Saw it yesterday. It's a good movie, Rocky fans should really go and see it. Don't expect much from this because it has flaws but it's worth the watch.
Some thoughts: The movie felt rushed at some points and super slow at other points. In one movie, Creed Jr. : becomes the hw champ, proposes to his gf, gets her knocked up, gets challenged by Drago Jr. and gets his shit pushed in...and this is just the first hour/hour and a half. Then with all that they decide to slow down the movie for exposition dialogue.
A wise choice would have been if this went the infinity War route and be split into two films. First movie focuses on Drago Sr. and Jr. and ends with Adonis in a coma after getting mauled by Drago. Sequel focuses on Creed's comeback while being trained by Balboa (reverse Rocky 3, this time Rocky trains Creed for the comeback ) rematch happens Drago hits, Donnie gets up x3 end movie with Creed knocking out Drago and end credits

Exactly, personally I wouldn't even against if they did an entire cinematic universe out of Creed and went with a "Drago jr." movie. His entire story was way more interesting than anything they showed with Creed.Not the worst idea. The only thing that was paced 100% right and neither overdone nor underdone at all was the Drago stuff. The Rocky / Adonis stuff would have benefited either from simmering for a while longer or from trimming elements that were crammed in there.
I disagree.I have enough of Creed. I despised first movie (pale copy of Rocky), but really wanted to see sequel (because of Drago). Not good drama, nothing spectacular about fights, no spectacular atmosphere during fights, no menacing atmosphere, no feel of menace from Viktor (like Ivan who was scary, even his entrance was menacing) no feel of Adonis being some strong iron dude (like Rocky) and have heart... very pale copy of Rocky III. No atmosphere. Music for training montage couldn't be worse. The whole movie lacked impact. Just pathetic movie.
I think in the next one, Adonis should move down to cruiserweight or lightheavyweight and fight for one of those titles.
Then we can see Viktor Drago being the heavyweight champion.....with Adonis in his corner.
The director is already talking about making Drago spin-off.Naah. Viktor Drago's story has been told.
Saw it on the weekend, it was fun.
of having his wife be deaf if she wasn't deaf? Bish heard every word said in every room and spoke perfectly. Plus she's a successful musician, living a great life. Then the daughter is born also fake deaf and they act like it had cancer
