I was a huge fan of Michael B Jordan after Creed 1. Sly, as usual, did a marvelous job. I expected the same excitement and anticipation for Creed 2. Michael B Jordan’s acting was flat. He stayed serious, mad, throughout the movie. Before holding his baby, he asked whether the baby was deaf. When Bianca asked him to watch the baby, he took the baby to the gym. There was no emotion between him and Bianca when he asked her to marry him; she drilled him about his reason before she accepted the ring. Further, matching MBJ with a Giant was unrealistic. In Creed 1, Rocky mourned his wife and was not interested in taking chemo. There was no mention of a son or grandson. MBJ was the only one who supported him through chemo. Where was the son? His son welcomed him when he showed up at his door. No semblance of animosity. My daughter went to sleep. I continued to watch because I kept waiting for it to get better.
