I can't even recall if I watched creed ii, but I do recall liking the first creed, so thought I'd give this a shot. Gotta say I found it quite stale and uninspiring. It's primarily a retread of other boxing films, and the climactic bout was so predictable it was unnecessary. They really could have just shown the winner raising his hand in victory. I will say the boxing itself looked more realistic than in the rocky films, but there was still the occasional comical swing and miss.
There's also a child to add some cuteness factor, but I didn't find her roll necessary at all. And the rap music they played during the training sequences paled hugely in comparison to the rocky music, and added nothing to the inspiration aspect of those scenes. They did play a segment from rocky after the result of the last fight, but that didn't do anything to help capture the emotion in the original film.
Basically, if you want to look at Michael b. Jordan's well-defined physique, you might enjoy the film. Otherwise it falls pretty flat.
