Better than the first creed. Namely because of the main antagonists
Ivan drago is fleshed out more as a character in this movie. The only shame was he did not get more air time. It left me wanting a Drago spin off more than a creed 3
Rocky's story takes more of a back step this movie, giving more room to Adonis to grow into his role. The only problem is I felt more connected to Rocky's and Dragon's plights then I did to Creed's. There is a heart wrenching scene at the end for the Russian boxers and even before that I found myself wanting Viktor to win.
