Review of Creed (2015) by Sensible94 — 25 Jan 2016
Having seen all of the Rocky franchise films this one elevates itself to the top alongside the first Rocky film. It does this simply by finding the core of the story, the continuing metaphor between the fight in the ring and the fight for life.
This film finds two perspectives for the 'fight for life' that can relate to young and old. Adonis Creed is looking for recognition and a place in the world that he feels has been laid down as his destiny by his deceased father Apollo.
Rocky on the other hand is looking for a reason to live as he fights a foe a greater and more deadly than any he's faced inside the ring. A classic tale brought bang up-to-date with a great soundtrack, a few humorous moments and the essence of the original at its soul.
