Movie Review: ***^ Creed II

***^ Creed II  (2018)  This is an excellent movie if you like the Rocky (Sylvester Stallone) movies.  This has the same feel and the same tension, especially of Rocky III.  In this movie, it is the son, Viktor Drago (Florian Munteanu)  of the boxer, Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren)  who killed Apollo Creed in the ring, who is now taking on Creed’s son (Michael B. Jordan).  In the first match, Creed is badly beaten and injured; but escapes with a victory when Viktor hits him after Creed is down and time is called by the referee.  However there has to be a rematch.  Rocky comes in to manage.  I new style and a new toughness is needed; which is found in the Nevada desert.  But will it be enough?
