Review of Creed (2015) by Matt A — 22 May 2016
Think of this as a remake/reboot of the original Rocky, but given the fact that its a continuation of the franchise its more or less a sequel, kind of.. But it follows the template of the original film pretty much to the letter, even having a montage, that I cant take seriously because of that segment from Team America.
Even though its predictable and has a lot of saccharine to swallow, its still a decent film that's enjoyable, if about 15 minutes too long, the pacing was an issue in some parts. Michael B Jordan erases the memory of the worst film of last year Fantastic 4 and gives an energetic performance.
It was easy to see why Stallone was nominated for an Oscar, its a role that's suited to him and he plays it brilliantly. Worth a watch.
