Review of Creed (2015) by Cadover — 27 Nov 2015
Shockingly great. The Rocky franchise turned on its head and given a completely new life, in the form of Apollo Creed's son. Beautiful story-telling and utilizes all the elements that made the original Rocky magic. Minus half a point for Michael B Jordan, who lacks the depth and vulnerability of Stallone, but has a made a giant leap from Fruitvale Station. The other half point deduction is the paper thin motivation the young Creed has to become the worlds greatest champion. Neither of these points gets in the way of enjoying the movie, and Stallone is a joy to watch, as always.
All in all, about as good as Rocky II, which is saying a lot.
