Creed

After the last Rocky movie (Rocky Balboa) I swore never again would I watch Stallone in yet another remake. Still I found myself watching and to my surprise it wasn't bad. Maybe my expectations were so low it, it seemed better than it was. It's a copy of the first film, yet it's also a tribute to all the Rocky films that were remakes before it.

A solid movie for the Rocky franshcise. I found it to be really predictable. But it delivers what it should for a Rocky movie.

Hot damn! We have a winner. Fruitvale Station director Ryan Coogler, 29, turbocharges the Rocky franchise in Creed. His focus: Adonis Johnson (a stellar Michael B. Jordan), the bastard son of late champ Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers), the father he never knew. The kid needs Rocky (Sylvester Stallone) to train him. Just enough plot for Jordan to strut his impressive stuff, and for a never-better Stallone to play the aging boxer with more feeling than I've seen from him since the original.

A good and worthy sequel to the Rocky movies. Well done. Loved the interplay between Rocky and Adonis - the kind of dynamics that usually take a lifetime to develop.

Emotional, powerful, and surprising, Creed manages to do something completely unexpected. It essentially reboots the Rocky franchise and yet manages to be as good as the original, if not better.

Didn’t like it as much as the Rocky movies, but it’s not bad.
