Review of Creed (2015) by Nerdconsultant — 16 Jan 2016
Creed is an excellent movie. I really had a good time watching it. The tag line is the Rocky Legacy lives and that really feels accurate because this film feels like a passing of the torch from Sylvester Stallone to Michael B Jordan who can continue to make more of these movies.
Many of you might say it is a clone and that Michael B Jordan, Tessa Thompson and Sylvester Stallone are basically filling the roles of Rocky, Adrian and Mickey in the first films but to me it feels like a completely different dynamic whilst retaining enough of the semblance of the original dynamic to make it recognizable.
The fight scenes are excellent, it is brilliantly shot, the drama feels poignant, personal and well written and all the actors and performances are great, especially Sylvester Stallone’s. If you loved the previous Rocky films you have got to go and see this one.
If you are on the fence about it I would suggest going to see it anyway. This might be the film to make you go back and see the previous Rocky movies.
