Sometimes you have to accept a movie like this for what it is.......a BOXING movie that's meant to have you nervously watching everything that leads up to the big moment. This movie did not disappoint. The fact that they did not drag this storyline out made it even better, cause how far can you stretch it out anyways? Who would he have fought for 3 movies to get to a Creed IV? Great way to strike while the iron is hot and give us a great flick. Oh, and the camera work was somehow even better this time around....THAT can make up for the lack of "twists" critics seem to be after when reviewing movies. 9/10.....docking the perfect score due to the fact that "break him" was used 3 times too many.
