Review of Creed (2015) by Jonathan W — 29 Mar 2016

.Creed is a fun spin off addition to the long last Rocky series. It follows the same routine like the previous Rocky films. Basically, Ardonis Johnson (Michael B. Jordan) the son of Creed, the boxer and friend of Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone). Ardonis Johnson, has been bouncing around from foster homes to juvenile, in his younger years. Several years later, he is successful in a financial company, and while secretly traveling to Mexico to an underground boxing match. He decides to quit, his successful job and travel to Philadelphia, were he seeks Rocky to get him trained for a boxing match. Creed has that simple plot, we have seen before in previous Rocky films. The thing that makes the film stick out, is watching Ardonis and Rocky collaborate with each other, and work with each other. As they both feel like they do not need each other, there is a lot they both can learn from and motivate each other.

Michael B. Jordan did perfect playing Ardonis Johnson, from his aggressive behavior of always wanting to fight, if it is with someone that gives him a disgust response. Sylvester Stallone also did great playing his ionic role again, as his character still runs his restaurant, visits the cemetery as he talks to his wife and brother in law. Rocky trains Creed the old fashion way, on how he was trained to box. Creed is a good sports drama film, a great spin off addition to the franchise.
