 Round after round You learn more about yourself When I stepped in that ring it wasn't all about me All right. All right. All right. So creed one right there on blu-ray I love this film and I'm looking forward to creed two. So was it better or worse? Let's find out. My name is Brennan Keith Avery and this is just my opinion Hey, what's going on everyone? Thank you so much for tuning in to my opinion slash review for creed two I really do appreciate it. I really did love the first creed movie when that film was first announced I thought it was one of the worst decisions ever made in film history, but I ended up loving the film I was a bit worried about creed two. I mean, I knew the film would be good I mean with everyone attached and Ryan Coogler still being a producer, but he's not the director anymore You know, so we have this new guy coming in that I've never heard of before his name is Steven capo junior I believe he is a brother This is his real first full-length feature other than a film I believe he directed in 2016 called the land he wrote and directed that but after watching creed two guys I'm gonna go and check out land because this film was freaking fantastic Not gonna waste your time I like creed two better than I like creed one for a number of reasons first thing is The film feels the same, but also at the same times gives you something different. I remember in creed one or just creed When Adonis was first fighting his first official real boxing match The shot or the camera movement then the cook brother Coogler use He used like one shot or one take the camera was moving all around the ring or whatever It was like a signature camera style that Coogler set for himself I'm just like man I hope this new guy comes in here and is able to do that same exact thing No, he didn't do that at all, but the film is still great I mean it still held its own and I mean it was better than the first one So I mean I was blown away by that Something else that I just liked about this family is not even talking about the boxing This is not just a boxing film. This is like, you know, has some deep character depth and drama that goes on to it I mean Cree. I mean Adonis He's struggling what he has to do with with within the ring and withdrawing on things like that Of course, we're gonna talk about that in a second But everything that he has to deal with outside of the ring to is this very compelling I mean, he's a grown man now And I don't want to give a status in the film because I want to spoil anything for you But he's a grown man now He has to he's learning how to adapt and make difficult decisions and also try to balance that with his emotions And that's just not an easy thing to go by I mean, it's sometimes your emotions in life They do drive you and sometimes they can be for better or for worse in this film talks about all of that And it doesn't just sit around him. I mean it also sends around Rocky Balboa play by Sylvester Sloan I mean, there's some things that he's dealing with too and also Michael B. Jordan's Mother not mother. Well, no, she's in this as well, of course. I'm talking about Bianca Tessa Thompson Of course, she's in this as well and she has her trials and tribulations has to deal with as well You know, I'm saying and also one thing that I was hoping that I was gonna get out this film is some nice interactions between Ivan Drago and Victor Drago the father and son over Russia and we got a little of that It took a while for the film to get, you know, give me what I was wanting because I was a little disappointed at first But you know, I was patient, you know, this was a nice slow oven cook dinner It's not no microwave pop tart, you know toast or type thing or whatever And I like that. I mean, I just really liked the character development and the character growth and all the Relationships and dynamics that you know This had this film had to do with all the characters from across the board on the good side in the bad side And it's talking about the boxing whatever if you want to just focus on the Russian part or Victor Drago, I felt that when he was in Russia when he was in the Ukraine like the director Chains the the the frames per second I don't know for some reason when he was training and punching bags It just seemed like a little bit more greedier and grindier or something It was just something different about the image on the screen the cinematography something to where it stood out from the rest of the film to Villa to vilify him just like, okay. This is the bad guy. We are not rooting for him. We are rooting for a dentist It was it was effective The sound editing and sound mixing this family was great, too. You could feel every punch I mean like I'm a dot-hard martial arts fan and I'm always geeking out when somebody does some type of punch-kick combination I was doing that too in the theater hopping up and down in my seal All in all at a few cute key points and the great thing about it was I wasn't disturbing anyone because everybody else in The theater was doing the exact same thing as I was and my goodness gracious these dudes in this movie are like It's just super swole. I mean like seriously Michael be Jordan like God like seriously I just want to like Google Michael be Jordan Cree work out and dedicate my neck two to three years to look like this dude I mean like seriously so ladies if you want to go see a dude looking good with a shirt off You know I'm saying you can go see this movie me myself. I was like, I mean god damn. You know I'm saying I'm not straight I'm just kidding But then I hear he was you know, you know the dude look he had a stuff together Whatever you know I'm saying he put in the work and it was trying to do was just he was just like I was just like damn You know I'm saying like it was what's up, and then that's just him though But what is it? What's the cat's name? This dude is playing Victor Drago. This dude is a freaking mountain Florian Monty I'm new or whatever. I don't know his name is in the film is Victor Drago as Florinian big nasty Monitone I'm butchering that dude was huge like seriously just cock diesel like I mean like it seemed like every day for Breakfast lunch and dinner he ate like fear pain and and I don't know. I couldn't think of nothing else clever to say But it was like he's just too big Now there has to go to show kind of like how Unrealistic the film is because in a real-life boxing match, you're not gonna have somebody that's like 30 40 pounds per more muscle than you I mean it was like true a David and Goliath type boxing match here So that was unrealistic, you know, but at the same time none of these rocky movies are realistic I mean they just punched the crap out of each other over and over and over again. I Really did love the relationship between our darkness and this girl Bianca. It was beautiful. It was real It was genuine. You know I'm saying I mean they was even able to come, you know, I Always say this how it's hard to combine comedic in serious moments And they was able to do that as a very well the way they express the love in this film I was like wow, I mean this seemed like a real-life couple or whatever. They didn't really seem like, you know Like, you know some fairy tale, you know I'm saying like This love this relationship they had was hard and they had to fight for it You know I'm saying even if they but even though we're like when both parties want something badly It still can be difficult and we saw that in film. I saw that between these two characters I also got to give a shout out to mr. Felicia Rashard. You know I'm saying the black goddess queen You are the beautiful black lioness, you know, I'm saying mama knows best Felicia Rashard knows best in here and her Performance is as great as well. Shower is gonna snap Donna's back in this place like hold on little boy Who you think you're talking to now? Mama goddess over here. Okay mama. Okay, you know I'm saying so, you know all that was all that was great I also like how this film dealt with a Donna's reasons the way he wanted to fight and also Big the drug over there because they had different reasons they had different motivations You know I'm saying they had their own they have their father's influence in them as well You know, we always get the uh, well, no always get we were always here about fathers that are insecure or you know Have a big hole in their life mentally They want to live vicariously through their child and all that good stuff I'm now at the very Climax of the film. I wish it would have popped just a little bit more But it was still damn good and I loved the guys if I had to recreate two out of one out of ten Because of film it did feel a little it did feel a little long at points Damn, I want to give this film a nine point two five out of ten Yes, a nine point two five out of ten, but guys that is just my opinion Have you seen Creed 2 or do you want to see it?
