Review of Creed III (2023) by Jluis_001 — 05 Mar 2023

In my personal opinion, despite several people who have complained about it, I think Rocky's absence isn't a real detriment to this installment.

Obviously, this trilogy was born out of the character's franchise but getting him out of the way also took a burden off of this film.

This third installment won't change the paradigm of what has made the character famous, but it allows the story to stop being constrained by a dynamic that only developed between the two of them. Master and apprentice.

This has allowed Adonis' character development to encompass more of his family dynamic.

Certainly, Creed III is not exceptional, but its efforts to entertain the audience are genuine because it succeeds if that's what you're looking for. But it also leaves it clear that it's time to hang up the gloves.

I hate using this cliché phrase, but Stallone never knew how to do it and took his character to ridiculous levels.

I think it's time for Michael B. Jordan, who is also starting out as a director, to say, ''this is as far as we've come.''

With this work he shows that he can grow as a director because his film is superior to the second part. Nothing better than to close a cycle with the character as an actor and start a new one with other challenges.

I do recommend it because, as I said, its ambitions are focused on entertaining without looking for anything fancier. It is what it is.
