Message: [QUOTE="nwhoopfan, post: 3067043, member: 7894"] Creed II was of course fairly formulaic, but decent. Michael B. Jordan is compelling, Stallone has found more range as he's aged, other supporting actors did fine. I don't think it's a spoiler at this point to mention that Ivan Drago and his son are at the center of this movie. Their character development wasn't nearly as much as Adonis and Rocky, but they were given a bit of an arc as well. I wanted to like Vox Lux. I have no idea what to think about it after having seen it. I'm not sure what they were trying to do with it. Kinda aimless. It was just interesting enough to stick with it, but there wasn't much of a payoff. I like Natalie Portman, but her character was fairly awful. The real star was Raffey Cassidy, who played the 14 year old version of Portman for about the first 45 minutes of the film and as soon as it jumped forward to current time frame she had a dual role as Portman's daughter.
