Creed II
I really thought they wouldn't be able to top the first one, but i was very wrong. This is crazy good. Rocky's character growth is amazing, that ending with him finally meeting his grandkid and reconnecting to his son is so fantastic. Adonis character is also great, he goes from being a character that fights for revenge and ends with fighting for himself, Bianca and his kid.
The tension and competition between Adonis and Drago is also so much better than in the first movie. These guys have a history without even knowing one another. And then Dragos coach and father ends up actually throwing the towel like Rocky should've done. Peak.
Also that talk by Adonis to his father in the end is absolutely peak. Him just telling him everything, his entire character development and then introducing him to his new family Bianca and his own kid.
To not talk about the performances from everyone. Michael B. Jordan keeps impressing me every movie i watch of his. Sylvester Stallone keeps being an amazing Rocky, just wow. Even Tessa Thompson deserves to be mentioned she also did a great job as Bianca in this.
I don't know what the public perception is of this movie, but for me it's clearly better than the first one and just overall a masterpiece.
