This movie was going to eventually happen since the first Creed got green lighted and as it was kind of expected, it is indeed a bit of "by the numbers" and goes through some familiar beats. The cliche things inherent to sport movies and especially boxing movies(and especially to one that is essentially a Rocky sequel), are however being kept to a minimum, there are nods here and there to the past moments.. but it manages to be it's own movie by the end of it! I think that the first was a bit better movie altogether, but this one is no slouch either and brings more familiar faces and more of that "Rocky feeling". Four "eyes of the tiger" out of five!

A bloody fairytale, but most of the cliches are being kept to a minimum!
