“I was afraid I couldn’t live up to these expectations”
A boy being reborn into a new man. A man looking for revenge to a man that focuses on his family rather than himself. This is a true redemption story! Beautifully made Story, amazing characters and great action sequences that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Creed 2 isn’t just a revenge story but a redemption story too. Adonis too focused on revenge accepts a challenge from Drago and his son.
I didn’t think that Creed 2 was going to live up to the expectations that the first Creed, directed by Rian Johnson, has set. With a new director, Steven Caple Jr. it still felt like a great sequel, but it also felt like a great standalone film too. Steven Caple Jr. did a fantastic job directing each actor and actress to compliment each other so well. One of the weakness of this film was the pacing in some parts. I thought it lasted way too long, but that wasn’t much of an issue because of all of the actors.
Let us talk about the actors. Michael B Jordan was fantastic in his role, the way he is committed in every film he is in just proves how great of an actor he is. This is why he is the leader of the film and the two that can go toe to toe with Michael is Sylvester Stallone and Tessa Thompson. My god Tessa is so beautiful and very talented I’m pretty sure that she elevated Micheal B Jordan and that is a good thing. Phylicia Rashad like always is a sight to be held in everything that she is in. The weakest people I though where Dolph Lundgren and Florian Munteanu. They were used effectively I just thought we could have seen more of them.
The cinematography and editing were both phenomenal. In the last Creed film, there was a long take that was perfect. I don’t think there was a long take and if it was I was so distracted by the fight choreography, cinematography and editing that I was mesmerized and the score mixed in with it was pure perfection!
Overall this was an amazing movie with minimum problems. Everything from the cinematography, score, fight choreography were perfect. I can’t wait to see Steven Caple Jr. next project. What are your thoughts on Creed 2? Comment down below or on Twitter Geek Vibes Nation .
I hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving!
