Creed 2-Kids’ Movie Review

Another boxing movie…more drama, more sweat, and more tears, but that’s okay. Creed II is all about working hard with a fierce desire to win!! Adonis Creed (Michael B. Jordan) is a newly crowned heavy weight champion. He’s engaged to his beautiful and supportive girlfriend, and they’re expecting a baby. Adonis’ life gets complicated when Viktor Drago challenges him to fight. Viktor’s father was the man who killed Adonis’ father while fighting in the ring. Now Adonis, and mentor Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone), train extremely hard with hopes to defeat their hostile rival. Creed II is the sequel to the 2015 movie- Creed, and is the eighth boxing drama in the Rocky series.

Violent/Disturbing Content: Moderate

There is violence relating to boxing. There are some very intense fighting scenes. We see character’s bruised and wounded.
