How
changed this world! Money infected all structures of life. What talking about modern
boxing, which doesn’t look as a sport anymore? Creed II perfectly describes
this degradation with anything straight or indirectly connected with boxing. Values
of main heroes of Creed is far from honorable motifs in Rocky. I haven’t like
to Adonis Creed who’s thinking about put his name in history, his passion
Bianca with aspire to make a career on his boyfriend’s glory, Duke Evers Jr.,
who is, I write only, absolutely differ from his great father. Characters have
a good prescription, but didn’t developed in right way with screenplay and
directing made by inexperienced people. In this time, I felt a weak influence
of Sylvester Stallone. In series never was before made for audience comedian
scenes or allowance to overdramatize and it’s a first time when I had a wish to
look on watch. The screenplay was walking in forthright way. I saw it not only
in action, but in spoken words by characters. I always knew when Rocky lied. And
this is not from my own experience. This is from the screenplay.
Every
story line is strained. Dragos live in exile is unrealistic. Ivan Drago’s lose
from Rocky Balboa ruined his career. It happened on the edge of the Soviet
Empire, in time, when it more than impossible could happen. Ivan’s career could
even survive after grab of Politburo representative and words to Gorbachyov “I
will gain victory FOR MYSELF!” I always thought these actions launched the
Soviet Union to collapse. Without doubt, Ivan would be find his place in eventuated
Russian Federation. Victor Drago, after his wins, still live in misery with his
father is one more about fiction. Absurdity of Lyudmilla Drago (or what is her surname
now?) line excellent showed in disgusting director’s staging when she was
introduced. Rocky, who can talk in wisdom form only, can’t call to his son. I
don’t see a reason in this break and his sages were transforming to bothers.
Two
hours and ten minutes I was watching a feeble drama where most part played by
awful actors. Tessa Thompson since total horrible in previous part sometimes
can give a good acting and more native in singing of lifeless modern songs, but
she doesn’t life her characters as same with ongoing absolutely stay in
hopeless has Michael B. Jordan. No one of these youngsters can’t hold even a
scene. Florian Munteanu, who has a face and physically matches for role of
Viktor Drago, wasn’t perform before and it’s good, that his possibilities for
serious acting is very rare, because he’s bad in it. However, he doesn’t
impresses on the ring. When I memorize Dolph Lundgren in Rocky IV, who had
before only an episode appearance in A View to a Kill, I every time felt mighty
in all senses of his character even he doesn’t make a move. And his rare coming
from mouth words impresses. Munteanu, despite massive body and skills of real
boxer, gives nothing for feel. Unlike to his screenplay’s father Ivan Drago
played again by Dolph Lundgren. He made an astonishing performance of his prefers
less talk character. Lundgren disclosed for me his talent in total drama. Ivan Drago
doesn’t allow to be liberate in acting and I would like to see actor’s full
performance as, for example, Arnie made in brilliant “Maggie” and “Aftermath”.
I saw living characters only in aged (beyond forty.) actors, but this is wrong
film for all of them.
Sylvester
Stallone lost his sight when unleashed his control to whom he entrusted and
himself personally. When in film TV shows an amateur match where Adonis lost
his Ford Mustang, I want to ask, “Who so well filmed it?” Also, I don’t
remember, that tombs of Adrian and Paulie had a beautiful view on river. Maybe
I take much attention to details and in the screenplay Rocky just reburied
them. However, Sly made a deadly wrong mistake when chose Steven Caple Jr. for
directing. He can’t work with group of cameras, droningly tell the story and often
fails in scene building. Adonis enters in mother’s house and call owner of it.
Nobody answers. He searches her and soon meets Rocky, whose appearance for
audience must be unexpected, but it was obvious for me, that he will return for
training of Creed. Another example, Adonis stays on grave of his father and
audience is thinking he’s alone. However, no. Right behind of him situates his
wife with newborn child. When Rocky comes to his son a door unexpectedly opens
son of his son – grandson, but soon comes his son whom again performs Milo
Ventimiglia.
I
remember every training montage of any film and after them fight. Creed II
holds style “an absence in inventiveness and no experiments”. Rocky, who told
before, how is dangerous Viktor Drago, brings Adonis to the outskirt of the
world, where in this specially hideous conditions (Viktor Drago, of course, tranings
in well-equipped gym.) he learns what his coach for unexplained reason was silent
before. Only liked here a dialog about “hell” and tire training. The whole film
holds in this far-fetchedness. Little bit changed Drago’s epic phrases and
knowing moments looks more a repeat than esteem. From what I’ve got an one more
pleasure was a music job of Ludwig Goransson, who still fabulously shows a
modern generation. Only fail was in fight scenes, where I can’t a mention a
funny fairy-tale scene of scream “CREED”.
Some
time ago, Stallone made a statement that it’s his last performance of Rocky
Balboa. Not a first time he says about it. I can sure on six times less.
However, it haven’t a mean. He made this last for me. Rocky Balboa was a great
ending, but I was ready for a new part and liked appeared Creed. Eighth round
from Creed II became a knockout. Despite, I have more thoughts now, that I will
watch Creed III and absolutely know it willn’t happen in cinema, but I have no
interests to young characters if even put outside the story and all technical.
Maybe Rocky VI was the best final point. Will see. What only I wish (goes in
deep Russian pronunciation.) “I want to drink” and full or some of it rewatch
and relisten from Rocky IV.
