A Novice Watches Rocky (1976)

Movie Review – Creed II
I really enjoyed this movie. I had very high expectations and lots of excitement when I walked into the theater, and I think this movie delivered on all of those expectations. I think this movie kept a lot of new fans from Creed I, but also tapped into the older fan-base from Rocky IV. This movie…
