    Any feedback for creed 2?
    Critics Consensus: Creed II's adherence to franchise formula adds up to a sequel with few true surprises, but its time-tested generational themes still pack a solid punch.

    Yes, it's the best, and the Rocky franchise is the best sports movie franchise, easy.
    There are loads of other great sports movies of course, but nothing tops the Italian Stallion. And I can never stop being so impressed with Sylvester Stallone because of his Rocky work. It's amazing. And the way he came out with that out of complete obscurity, and won the Oscar.... it's amazing. I actually did a speech for a school public speaking contest in 1985 all about Sylvester Stallone. :lol: I've always been such a Sly fangirl, lol.

    Great emotional movie. Great ending to the story of Rocky. Would have been even better without the boxing.

    I have deep love for the Rocky franchise, but I think there are much better sports movies out there.  Even within boxing movies, I don't think Rocky can hold a candle to Cinderella Man in terms of acting performance, cinematography, fight choreography, and just about everything except nostalgia.

    I don't even think Cinderella Man is that good in general (in the boxing movie context... I love all boxing movies indiscriminately. But then they're ranked within that genre). And Stallone's acting performance in Rocky absolutely KILLS Crowe's. I can hardly even believe you think that was a better performance... But to each their own, lol. ;) Million Dollar Baby is a million times better than Cinderella Man IMO.

    C'mon, everybody knows that Bloodsport is the best "sports" movie. It incorporated kicking and punching and starred the one and only Jean Claude.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    and the "blinded shriek" is a watershed of movie moments. 
    Your boos mean nothing to me, for I have seen what makes you cheer

    Raging Bull was good. So was Hoosiers.

    Problem with Raging Bull is that I can't even remember the boxing parts of the movie anymore. Hoosiers was good.

    I died laughing during this show. Just flat out funny. That very first shift on the ice for the Hanson brothers was one of the greatest scenes ever.
