Review of Creed (2015) by Herndonrules — 17 Jan 2016
When I saw the trailer several months ago, I was intrigued by Jordan, until I saw it was yet another Rocky movie. Originally thinking the last thing the cinema world needed was yet another Rocky flick, I was blown away by how good this movie is.
Although the viewer benefits if they know the first three movies, the story is compelling enough to stand on its own. Both Jordan (no surprise) and Stallone give top notch performances. In fact, Stallone's is so nuanced as an old guy who knows he's an old guy, that he absolutely earns his Oscar nomination.
Although the final fight scene, just like in all the Rocky flicks, drags on and is unrealistic, the movie wins one over with its heart and performances.
