Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

Creed II (out Nov 29) is a little safer, more predictable than its 2015 predecessor. The longer it goes, the more familiar it seems. That said, it should win over most paying customers because of the two strong performances from its leading men - 31-year-old Michael B. Jordan (his body will be the envy of all) and 72-year Sylvester Stallone (who has perfected the art of self-pity). Grade: B.
