What the Critics say

Ilan Preskovsky quote iconCreed II gets by on some great fight scenes, a killer score, heavy doses of nostalgia and the continued greatness of Stallone as Rocky. Something does need to be done about Adonis Creed himself, though, if the series is to continue on to greater heights.
