March 10, 2023 10:25 PM

After dominating the boxing world, Adonis Creed (Michael B. Jordan) has been thriving in both his career and family life. When a childhood friend and former boxing prodigy, Damien Anderson (Jonathan Majors), resurfaces after serving a long sentence in prison, he is eager to prove that he deserves his shot in the ring. The face-off between former friends is more than just a fight. To settle the score, Adonis must put his future on the line to battle Damien - a fighter who has nothing to lose.

It was slickly made and full of pathos and heart. I would say its only issues is it seems like the emotional story sort of gets runs out of steam, hastily reaching a head in that one pre-final match conversation between Adonis and his wife; and how the rules on how to become a heavyweight champion of the world in this world make no sense (spoilers, naturally).
