    Drago and his kid were the best part of it. Different director than Creed and more of another formula Rocky movie than the last one.

    It was one of those movies I probably expected too much from.

    No, glad someone liked the movie. I'll watch more of them even if I didn't like this one.

    Any of you guys go to the Portland International Film Festival - PIFF? We always make it to a few of the flicks every year, but most are quite odd. I guess that's the point. :breakdance:

    I saw Atila the Battle Droid or whatever it was. Actually pretty good, especially when she (spoilers) punches one of the bad guys and says "fuck your mercy"

    I thought they should have saved that storyline for the next movie. It took away from him becoming champion. He fought some guy that sucked ass and won far too easily. There was another story there to be told.

    I am a Rocky purist, I love the formula of the originals. It's patient and it shows his journey. They skipped ahead in this one, probably concerned about not getting anymore made and wanted to have that part of the story told while they could. I liked the movie, but they were in too much of a hurry. Creed was Rocky 1, Creed 2 is Rocky 2,3, and 4 all smashed together. Creeds journey is left wanting.

    Hour into Green Book.

    Good so far but I like both actors. Viggo pounding down every type of fattening food is oddly hilarious to me.

    Mortensen is one of my favorite actors. Loved him in Eastern Promises.

    No, but if it's got Viggo in it, whatever it's rated at can be raised another half a notch just because of his acting.

    Finished Green Book.

    It was entertaining. Not the best movie I've ever seen but quite good.
