I remember the first time when I heard for the first Creed that Rocky would train Apollo’s son, I thought that was a terrible idea at first, now that I saw Creed I and II, I regret saying those words
I really liked the Drago and son storyline and wished we had more of it-was a complicated relationship between them. I’d love to see a spin-off movie of the two of them and maybe a redemption for Drago after being a pariah in his country. And that ex-wife too!
@@toxiclightning5303 “if I can change, you can change, we all can change” - words that actually stopped the Cold War in real life 😂 Or “hey Tommy, I didn’t hear no bell” - words that nearly killed the franchise until another sequel and now 3 spin off movies resurrected it.
One thing I really liked about Creed II is how it made Ivan and Viktor Drago three-dimensional and sympathetic antagonists. And the boxing matches were really well done. The theater where I was watching REALLY got into it, complete with loud cheering.
For sure. They could have made them stereotypical villains like they did with Ivan in Rocky IV, but they didn't, and the movie is so much better for it. I especially love the facial expressions in the second fight, all culminating in Ivan throwing in the towel to protect his son. Then he even hugs his son and sticks with him instead of abandoning him like everyone else and like everyone abandoning him all those years ago.
Yep. Again turning a villain into a human, because Americans will not accept that some people (e.g. millionaires, politicians) are narcissistic sociopaths, and they want to believe that they are really softeys under it all. No. Some people are psychopaths, and nothing will change that. It is a PHYSICAL condition, and there is no cure. I'm looking at you Donald Trump, er, I mean Darth Vader.
I feel like the boxing matches took a major step down from the first Creed. Watching bodybuilder like heavy weights trade multiple haymakers isn’t boxing. The first one however, worked way better because it involved real boxing choreography with real boxers
My favorite part of these movies is how Viktor is not a villain, does not become a villain, and that after the fight they become best friends with nothing but respect for each other
Right. Viktor is not respnsible for his father’s actions, grudges, etc. He was just used by his father, the same way his father was used by the Soviet government. The only difference is Drago didn’t abandon his son like his government abandoned him.
The final fight, when Adonis walked out to Bianca's song gave me goosebumps when I watched it for the first time. The shot of him surrounded by the crowd, with the blue lights, the music in the background as he's getting in the ring, everything about that scene was amazing.

What I like is that we all thought Adonis was gonna lose, but instead Viktor is disqualified and Adonis wins by DQ. It was a different turn and made it a bit more surprising.
i really wished Michael B Jordan bulked up for the second fight, it would make much more sense. Him beating Drago just because he has a purpose is too weak of a reason
True, but there have been exceptions: Roy Jones Jr. started his career at 164/160 and beat a natural heavyweight; David Haye started a cruiserweight and beat a heavyweight over 300 lbs
A sin should of been taken off from the scene where the tests show the baby isn’t having a positive response and both Adonis and Bianca are giving a amazing performance showing how emotional that moment is.
I 100% agree! Stallone has come a LONG way in his acting chops. He was simply fantastic in all of the Creed movies. Am truly gonna miss him in Creed 3. The movie will be lesser for it.
Just go back to Rocky 2 especially with the Adrian childbirth scenes. Stallone was incredible. In all the "emotional" scenes from the Rockys you can just feel it because he is so good
Stallone is, of course, one of Hollywood's worst actors. Company to include Bruce Willis, Dwayne the Idiot Johnson, 99% of all MCU and DCEU actors...the list goes on. One might make a case for First Blood being not a horrible performance by Stallone, but if that's his pinnacle - and I strongly suggest it is - then you've built a straw man by which to compare all his other films. Congratulations to Stallone on his reductive mediocrity.
For the coloring, you probably know this but American cinema has long colored regions in specific hues. East Europe is grey hued (often heavily), SW Asia and NE Africa are yellow/orange, etc.
Love Ivan Drago! Dolph tried to segregate himself from Stallone to stay in character on set and there’s all these bloopers of Stallone trying to kid around and bro out with him😂 He was so annoyed lol.
Fiancée and I just re watched (well she watched them for the first time) both 1 & 2 and these are great movies. I actually box myself so I’m into them. In fact the first movie was what initially got me into it. My fiancée is not a sports person but even she was liked them. I’m glad they were able to create a movie/write a story where she could be emotionally invested as well
That’s what I like about the Rocky and Creed movies. Even if you’re not a boxing fan, that’s not really what it’s about. It’s just a backdrop. The movie is really about common struggles we all go through. Self-doubt, grief, feelings of inadequacy, etc.
The biggest sin of this movie is that they removed the scene where they are in the locker room after the last fight and Rocky and Ivan confronting each other
@@kebabgames420hehexd6 The scene where Adonis is comforting Viktor in the lockeroom? That scene was stupid and out of character for Adonis. Watch Creed III, there is a scene where Donny is arguing with his wife on how his daughter should deal with a bully. Adonis wouldn't reward his antagonizer with his friendship. Adonis doesn't believe in that love your enemy nonsense. He stands his ground. Granted in Creed III he squashed the beef with Viktor, but we don't know the circumstances of how that came to be. The deleted scene is not canon.
13:14 I'll say it once and I'll say it again. Having your goddess of a wife singing you into battle has to be one of the most badass things I have ever seen in my life.
13:00 This is 100% accurate! You nailed it, Cinema Sins! I took a trip with my Family to go visit my retired Grandparents in Las Vegas when I was 22. While driving down the Highway, we had a blowout I my Grandfather's car. So, my brother and I go out to check it, and start to put the Spare Tire on. I was in shorts, and I knelt down to begin loosening the nuts on the Tire, and as soon as my knee touched the pavement, it scorched me! I jumped up and yelled a bit, and when I looked at my knee, a sizeable chunk of skin had just peeled right off and stayed on the Highway!
@@nahor88 we honestly never saw him die though. We did see Loki die and Disney still gave him his own show. Killmonger might have gotten the Winter Soldier miraculous save,
Potentially controversial opinion: this is better than the first one, if only for the "what am I _doing?_ My pride is killing my _son_ , my only child" look on Ivan's face as Viktor is getting the shit beaten out of him. Also, him being named Viktor shows Ivan's aspirations for him.
Viktor Drago's actor Florian Munteanu did so well. For a first-time actor, he did so well some much with his face and physicality since he doesn't have many lines that were really sold e on the movie.
Sin 89 - one of my favorite scenes in the whole Rocky series. Also funny that he went from selling his Firebird to Paulie in Rocky 2 bc he couldn’t drive so good on account of his messed up eye to taking a beating from Apollo, Clubber and another from Apollo and being able to see clear enough to drive a Lambo while looking into his past and jamming out to Robert Tepper 😂
Did anyone else notice that the Cavaliers were beating the Lakers AND the Browns were beating the Raiders? Apparently at the same time, and both on ESPN2? Since when does ESPN2 have Monday Night Football, unless it's the Manning Cast? I'm from Cleveland, so I love the Cavs and Browns references. I have a hypothesis that there are a ton of movie/film/TV workers who are from Cleveland that try to sneak in references to the city and its sports teams any way they can into media. I call it the Drew Carey Theory.
Shout out for recognizing that Stallone actually does some great work in this. I hated the idea of Creed at first, felt like a cheap cash grab, but ya know....now I can't wait to watch Creed III. Jordan can carry his weight in any franchise and own a character, and (sure they arn't perfect) but they've captured the spirit. C2 was the send off. C3 should be the start of the next generation.
Man as an Aussie visiting the Philly museum was so depressing. Just lines and lines of people standing in front of the Rocky statue when there's an entire museum of real history metres away.
Its not just a rocky situation. Apollo literally died in the ring facing him. That’s how the whole thing came together full circle. That was an unnecessary sin
No matter how many Creed movies they make Apollo is still the best Creed character. Dude was oozing way more charisma for his character than Michael B could ever summon up for this generation of movies.
@@thecunninlynguist Apollo's charisma was undeniable, but he was still an egotistical, narcissistic prick which put himself second to none when it came to his own whims. He was the best at what he did and showed real care and affection for his close ones, but he was in no means a paragon of virtue. Him having an affair, especially as we see him portrayed in IV, is absolutely in-character.
Apollo was a narcissist, and Adonis isn't. And that's why his character lacks the smooth charm and cultivated charisma of his father. I'd say both actors played their characters extremely well, even though the characters were very different.
nahthe biggest sin of this movie was cutting that deleted scene after the final fight with Adonis and Viktor in the locker room, and then Adonis looking Ivan in the eye and wordlessly forgiving him for killing his dad.
Like no joke, I'm a boxer but now I'm also an IT technician now. But I'll always come back to Rocky for the boxing because my dad was a boxer from inspiration.
Damn you cinema sins !!! I can't watch a movie now without analyzing it and hearing pings in my head !!! For that I'm giving you a sin🎵 . But because I love your videos I'm removing a sin🎵, so were even . Keep up the great work !
I hear the Rocky Balboa Theme Song on the radio, genre, show tunes, then this pops up in my feed… CINEMASINS!!! Are you secret following my favorite movies?!?!
That would make Adonis too old then. Remember, the Rocky franchise goes back to like 76. Stallone is in his mid 70s now. That would put Adonis in his late 30s early 40s if he was a premarital baby.
I don't know why people are so down on this... we're HUMAN BEINGS. We're not fucking perfect. It's worth remembering that Apollo bullied Rocky into doing a re-match with him in Rocky 2. He became good friends with Rocky and his family, but he had his own flaws. It's not beyond fathoming that he let his own fame/ego get to him, and gave in to a hot babe while he was touring.
Back to the part where he sinned the movie for the Raiders “losing to the Cleveland Browns”… he didn’t read it close enough, it said “end of half” “not end of game”… one sin for CinemaSins!
10:45 Adonis goes Super Saiyan in the Rejuvenation Chamber lol he actually said in the Million Dollaz Worth of Game interview that he's a fan of anime. So in Creed III, I hope to see some Ippo level type boxing against Jonathan Majors.
Tessa F*cking Thompson, indeed. I get the need for a short version of "I Will Go To War" in the movie, but I'd add a sin for the soundtrack not having a full length version.
Great video... I can't however believe how much one of the joke sins messed me up!! It was always patty cake when I was growing up and now my mind is blown.
I agree that whole, “omg the baby look just like (insert parent)” after birth is too much for me. I have 4 and they look like babies till they hit bout 3 years old and I start seeing similarities to the parent
The thing about Adonis's age.. you'd be assuming the story takes place in 2018. Could've been in 2012 to '15 for all we know. All the Rocky sequels were kinda vague in their timeline.
@6:45 the 1st 2 Creed movies really keep hammering this idea that Rocky froze up and thats why Apollo died and its just NOT. Yeah he froze up but the bell kept ringing and the ref even jumped in and Drago tossed him aside so towel or not Drago was gonna kill him anyway. In fact he probably should have been charged with manslaughter.
I remember the first time when I heard for the first Creed that Rocky would train Apollo’s son, I thought that was a terrible idea at first, now that I saw Creed I and II, I regret saying those words
I think it was messed up that they had to include it as Apollo having an extramarital affair versus perhaps a kid he never knew about before marriage
No, you were right.
@@cadillacdeville5828same. Apollo was a stand up guy. I could never see him cheating on his wife.
@@cadillacdeville5828 Well the kid would've been too old otherwise.
@@cadillacdeville5828 he was based on Muhammad Ali…with that in mind it makes perfect sense
"If he dies, he dies."
The most iconic line in the entire rocky franchise if you ask me
I really liked the Drago and son storyline and wished we had more of it-was a complicated relationship between them. I’d love to see a spin-off movie of the two of them and maybe a redemption for Drago after being a pariah in his country. And that ex-wife too!

I cried at 9:53 when I saw it in theaters. I can’t even lie. Whewwww 😢
That one comment about kyiv looking like a Call Of Duty flashback, didn't age quite so well
LOL
video was awesome sauceeee! ✨Boxtrolls next✨
Back to the part where he sinned the movie for the Raiders “losing to the Cleveland Browns”… he didn’t read it close enough, it said “end of half” “not end of game”… one sin for CinemaSins!
10:45 Adonis goes Super Saiyan in the Rejuvenation Chamber lol he actually said in the Million Dollaz Worth of Game interview that he's a fan of anime. So in Creed III, I hope to see some Ippo level type boxing against Jonathan Majors.
Words cannot describe how long I’ve been waiting for this video
Movie had better get a sin off for the amazing "Go to War" song. Shit goes hard.
EDIT - Good job!
Ok that bonus round was just epid. So freaking perfect.
The light bulb joke is a running joke in the franchise. He's been complaining about the lights since the first movie. 😂
13:13 Everyone in Moscow Idaho having their hopes crushed in this moment while everyone in Moscow Texas SHOUTING “Can I get a Hell Yeah”
It was really lit like a call of duty mission 😭😭
Tessa F*cking Thompson, indeed. I get the need for a short version of "I Will Go To War" in the movie, but I'd add a sin for the soundtrack not having a full length version.
Great video...
I can't however believe how much one of the joke sins messed me up!! It was always patty cake when I was growing up and now my mind is blown.
6:17 "Losing to the Cleveland Browns" LMFAO
Nah that walk-in scene was iconic
I agree that whole, “omg the baby look just like (insert parent)” after birth is too much for me. I have 4 and they look like babies till they hit bout 3 years old and I start seeing similarities to the parent
I can't wait to watch the birdman video so he can call out the "I can't wait to see what this kid does" sin lol
We do absolutely need the universal designated hitter btw
The owner of cinemasins must be fun at parties
Best Rival: Apollo Creed
Best Trash talker: Clubber Lang
Best villain: Ivan Drago
Drinking game: Take a shot for every ding
He's got first take jokes, y'all.
So unrealistic. Where are the guys acting like they work at the Rocky statue and charge you to take your picture with it?
That shot at Max Kellerman hurt not gonna lie 😂😂😂
There was absolutely no reason to end Max Kellerman’s career. CinemaSins takes no prisoners
I think Stephen A Smith already beat them to that
i remember watching this never when it came out and then never watching it again years later
I work at State Farm arena in Atlanta and MBJ rented out a suite for a Super Bowl party last year…i played basketball with him…carry on
Best line in the video: "Jack Pearson is alive". I howled at that one.
This guy adds sins for no reason
I was looking for this yesterday and it didn't exist yet, cinimasins really reliable🤣😭😭
The thing about Adonis's age.. you'd be assuming the story takes place in 2018. Could've been in 2012 to '15 for all we know. All the Rocky sequels were kinda vague in their timeline.
Except that the previous movie had Paulies date of death on his headstone and showed the year various boxers were Olympic contenders
In 2018, he was 31 in real life so they actually got an actor who actually pretty much played their real age.
Plus the first film literally opens with a scene listed as 1998 and then jumps to the next scene being listed as 2015.
The beginning of the movie really reminded me of Iron Man 2
Not removing a sin for that training screen is a sin *ding*
im about to to give you 50 sins, for sinning boxing 50 times... its a great sport XD
13:37 "toxic masculinity" I'm taking a sin off from you for that.😂🤦
It's a sin that there isn't a "roll credits" t-shirt.
6:13 Boxing is bigger than MMA worldwide
@6:45 the 1st 2 Creed movies really keep hammering this idea that Rocky froze up and thats why Apollo died and its just NOT. Yeah he froze up but the bell kept ringing and the ref even jumped in and Drago tossed him aside so towel or not Drago was gonna kill him anyway. In fact he probably should have been charged with manslaughter.
