Creed II 4K Blu-ray Movie, Special Features and Extras 

Best Buy's exclusive SteelBook release of Creed II is an exercise in handsome simplicity. The front and rear covers are black. On the front, the film's title appears center, with the word "Creed" in lighter gray letters and the Roman numeral "II" behind it, much larger, and a darker gray. A chiseled Adonis Creed, wearing nothing but his boxing gloves and trunks, stands below the word "Creed." Actor names Michael B. Jordon and Sylvester Stallone appear at the top in dark gray lettering. The rear side is identical in terms of its design cues, minus the cast names. Instead of Creed, Balboa appears, standing with his left side facing outward, a towel draped over his shoulder. The spine carries over the same black background. The film's title appears in white block lettering a little above center. MGM and Warner Brothers logos appear at the bottom. This glossy SteelBook will show fingerprints.

Inside, the digital copy code is situated underneath the left-hand side tabs. The two discs, one Blu-ray and one UHD, are housed on the right in staggered-stacked formation. The inner print is a two-panel spread that depicts Adonis Creed training on a punching bag, left, which is being held in place by Rocky Balboa, right. The image lacks vibrant color, favoring a grayscale with the red boxing gloves the primary source of bolder coloring. A billing block appears bottom left.

Creed II 4K Blu-ray Movie, Overall Score and Recommendation 

Randy Miller III called Creed II "an obvious crowd-pleaser" but a "half-step down" from Creed. The SteelBook is terrific, adhering to the belief that elegant minimalism is better than cluttered excess. The UHD inside offers solid video and terrific audio. Highly recommended.
