TRAILER WATCH: Creed 2 shows promise

ELIJAH ROSE

Dropping in November is the much anticipated Creed 2 and the trailer looks amazing. Adonis Creed has been challenged by the son of Ivan Drago,who killed his father in the ring years before. Adonis has to fight his inner conflict and his physical conflict because his opponent, Viktor Drago, is a very dangerous person.

Michael B. Jordan fits the role of Adonis Creed perfectly and gives off beam of hope that this film really needs. All the characters seem to be very realistic and emotional which  makes you feel like your watching a real fight.

I’m hoping to see a more emotional side of Adonis including how he contributes to his family, but also how he deals with the loss of his father roaming in his mind.On the other side of the spectrum, I would like to see a more aggressive side of him towards the end of the movie. Hopefully, during the fight he will get into the zone as he fights Viktor Drago in honor of his father.

There will definitely be a huge impact on the audience as they are watching it with the past knowledge of the Rocky films. This movie means a lot to the past movies so this one will hit home for the audience which is what the film is looking for.

Also the humor in this movie seems to be nonexistent because of the amount of suspense on the anticipated fight which is a downside for the movie, but maybe a series movie is what the Creed franchise needs.              

These films are obviously sequels to the Rocky films which takes away from the creativity of the plot. However, I will definitely be going to see this movie as it comes out later this year only based off the trailer and no further research because I am just that excited about it.
