Creed II 2018

listen... LISTEN!!!! I know like every scene and act in this movie is predictable and cliché but clichés are clichés for A REASON!!!!!! I just left the cinema, and I might be on a bit of a high right now, but isn't that what movies are all about? I was so close to giving this a ten just because of how much I enjoyed myself, like I hadn't with a movie in a really long time... but the thought of putting a Creed movie, nay a Creed sequel, next to my other number 10s made me chill out a little and give it a 9 instead. But here's the thing, that training sequence?????????????? when he's running and he fucking falls to the ground and the music stops and Rocky tells him to get back up anD THEN HE DOES AND HE KEEPS RUNNING AND THE MUSIC STARTS BUILDING UP??????????? i wanna go rewatch that shit right now lmfaoo, it literally took my breath away, but then again I'm a sucker for sports movies, I really am, mostly because i'm a huge fan of competition and sports (even if not boxing, in particular) in real life. But that was far from being the only breathtaking scene in this movie, to be honest. My emotions were running high from start to finish.

On a shallower note... Michael B Jordan and Tessa Thompson are so fucking hot, it's disgusting.... they look so good together and their chemistry honestly jumps off the screen. So i'd like to thank Creed's casting director for this decision, and for making all my bisexual dreams come true. And on a serious note, MBJ was playing a heavyweight boxing champion, but he's becoming a heavyweight acting champion right in front of all of our eyes and I for one am enjoying the journey quite a lot. He really shows his worth in this film, for sure.

9/10
