“The movie is far from perfect. But Michael B. Jordan and Jonathan Majors are the glue, and we stick with them,” writes Tribune critic phillipstribune.
“Creed II”
This is the ninth installment in that franchise. Stallone’s out this time. Jonathan Majors is in, and it’s a fine trade, dramatically speaking.Right now in theaters Majors can be found struggling with some pretty sludgy material inside green screen purgatory inwith his character’s anguished grudge match, in and out of the ring. The movie is far from perfect; the flashbacks to the main characters’ shared childhood trauma drip-drip-drip the details in ways that can get a little frustrating.
His own boxing dreams crushed, at least until now, Damian wants Adonis to train him fast, and hard. He’s owed that much, he says, for reasons we learn in short order. Their wary, shrewdly acted reunion scene, set in a diner, reassures the audience even as it unsettles Adonis: As long as Jordan and Majors are sussing each other out, in various forms of battle, “Creed III” will do the job.
The boxing movie genre is nothing, really, without the idea of fighters fighting against themselves, and their demons. The three bouts in “Creed III” begin with Adonis vs. “Pretty” Ricky Conlan in Cape Town, South Africa. Then comes the Los Angeles Crypto.com Arena match between the newcomer, Damian, and world champ Felix Chavez , a bruising smackdown Damian fights with survival-at-any-costs moves he learned in prison the hard way.
