Review of Creed (2015) by Ydnar4 — 31 Dec 2015
Creed is a fresh yet familiar story that builds once again on the story of Rocky Balboa and now Adonis Creed. After the sixth installment of the Rocky franchise it seemed like the series had finally run its course, but Ryan Coogler managed to come along and inject some new life into this franchise.
Ryan Coogler both writes and directs beautifully by creating new great characters with new stories while also paying tribute to the Rocky films that came before it. Michael B. Jordan is officially a movie star.
This kid showed how talented he was with Fruitvale Station and now he's got a role that makes him unavoidable. Sylvester Stallone is back as Rocky and he plays him beautifully. Stallone simply just will never forget how to play him, but he doesn't steal the spotlight either.
This film belongs to Jordan and Coogler. The fights are outstanding and truly some of the best fight scenes in all of film. We even get a fight that is done all in one take which I'm sure many people wouldn't notice and that's a huge accomplishment.
I can't wait to see a sequel for this film and Coogler better be involved. He better take Black Panther too.
