Maybe that "new movie smell" is affecting my judgment, but I'm going with Creed II here. Loved it.

Played off each other well enough. Elevates the cheese of Rocky IV because Apollo cashing out seems to mean more now.

Creed II

Great. Creed II may have increased my appreciation for Rocky IV, a film I’ve never cared for. Seriously, it’s been awhile since I’ve seen it, a couple years maybe, but now I have to rewatch it. Creed II changes my memory of it to something meaningful instead of a collection of montages and cheesy 80s music (although, I do like cheesy 80s music). Who wins? Creed II for me. It’s very good (unlike my memory for Rocky IV) but Ryan Coogular would’ve added some more emotional elements and visual flare while Creed II felt like very standard Rocky.
