A solid hit that could have been a gut punch, this chapter of the Apollo Creed story gets the job done.
I was perplexed this remake wasn’t hoisted into more theaters for the holiday season. After all, a Scrooge story is pretty much expected then. But, coming to us in the dead of winter, I can see why some may, despite their best intentions, fall for it. Because, for better or worse, this one feels like a big warm blanket.
