Creed II / BR
--FINALLY got this on sale. A solid entry in the Rocky/Creed series. The thing that grabbed me about this movie is I was as wrapped up in the Rocky/Adonis story as Ivan and Viktor Drago's. I honestly do think the deleted scene with the post final match conversations between parties was in the movie--it would help it a lot.


Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of GW / BR
--I liked this one a lot better than the first Beasts movie even if I do think the first one was better about the Beasts idea. The special features were very cool on this disc.

Rocky is quite possibly my all time favorite film series and I'm loving the Creed spin off.. I think I saw something where Stallone stated his run as Rocky is almost over.

To me that's what made the movies.. In Creed he's not there much but when he's there he's offering the fatherly advice that Apollo couldn't give him. In some small part Rock feels responsible for Apollo's demise.

My favorite line out of Creed II: "He dangerous! His father broke things in me that can't be fixed."

Rocky is Micky. If you recall from the first Rocky movie, Micky initially kicked Rocky out of his gym because he was a "bum". After he signed the fight with Apollo, he asked Rocky to manage him because he was concerned the promoter was setting him up. He told the story how he did not have good management and as a result he sustained permanent injuries in the ring. He wanted to look after Rocky so that he it did not happen to him. Mickey became the father Rocky never had.

It would make sense in the next Creed movie for Adonis to have the same story arc that Rocky had in RIII following Mickey's death.
