Review of Creed (2015) by Samichsupernova — 02 Dec 2015
It doesn't re-invent the boxing movie or pack too many surprises, but it is nothing but respectful to the beloved "Rocky" series and both Stallone and Jordan deliver some powerhouse performances.
Jordan straight-up carries the movie for a lot of the running time. The cinematography was superb and the direction and editing on point. Everything gelled. The only things I might have done different are to have given "Pretty" Ricky more personality aside from being a trash-talker, and taken a page from "Southpaw" and made the fights seem more brutal (not that they don't seem realistic, but that movie took it to a whole other level).
I really enjoyed this one and would recommend it to anyone.
