Review of Creed (2015) by Cody C — 15 Apr 2016
Creed is so awesome, wow. I'll admit, I'm not a massive Rocky fan (except for the first two), so I wasn't sure if I'd like this. But this could almost be a stand alone film, if you hadn't seen any of the Rocky movies, most of the backstory is covered here.
Obviously, it helps to have seen them just to witness Balboa's relationship with Apollo Creed, and why Rocky is willing to help out his son, Adonis. Michael B. Jordan is really good here, he should've had more award attention for sure.
Stallone gives a beautiful performance. Jordan & Stallone work well together on screen, making their characters' relationship all the more believable and touching. The boxing scenes are well done, Ryan Coogler is definitely on the rise with this and Fruitvale Station.
Even if you're not a fan of Rocky or haven't seen them, Creed needs to be seen.
