I got literal chills during Adonis' entrance for the climactic fight.

One of the things I really enjoyed about the first film was the long/single-take fight scenes and nothing here is on that level. Baby Drago's physical formidability goes a long way though. At the end of the day, Caple made a very good film but Coogler is just operating on different level from almost anyone else today.

Something that struck me during the film, is just how wonderful a couple Adonis and Bianca are. These films have some of the best depictions of black love in recent cinema. The proposal scene, the pregnancy test and the hearing test scenes were such rich beautiful moments. I could watch Jordan/Thompson in these movies (or any movies) until the end of time.

The opening in Ukraine also gave me chills realizing that I was watching a Hollywood film with Dolph Lundgren a lead role in an actual movie theater.

I got pretty much everything I was looking for from this.
