The former World Heavyweight Champion Rocky Balboa serves as a trainer and mentor to Adonis Johnson, the son of his late friend and former rival Apollo Creed.
one of best boxing movie i ever watched...it's a spin off to the original rocky series....Michael B. Jordan is perfect in his role...it's maybe one of the Sylvester Stallone's best performance till the date...the boxing scenes are really good....Ryan Coogler done a great job...must watch if u love boxing...
CREED is the new ROCKY.
Honestly, I was looking for the 7th film in the 'Rocky' series, so this spinoff was totally unexpected. But it is the right thing since the Rocky Balboa is getting old. Besides, in this reboot era, keeping franchise alive and leaping into the next generation was a very smart move. By doing this, they're keeping the original series fans with them to back it. I hope this will only get going like the Bond movies, since the young star, Jordan has another 30+ year potential to continue the 'Rocky' legacy by delivering some hits in his belt.
I don't know how they have done it, just kept everything so simple yet delivered a successful movie. The director of 'Fruitvale Station' and its actor Jordan's second successiv...
Так себе. Местами пафос просто прет наружу - даже противно смотреть. Сюжет вытянет из пальца, особенно не понравилось наличие больных в фильме: девушка музыкант, теряющая слух и рокки у которого находят рак. Если бы не фильмы про рокки, то я в принципе сомневаюсь, что фильм бы заметили.
Creed celebrates all the Rocky films that came before while establishing a fresh new direction for the franchise.
After decades of Rocky movies, with recent entries leading us all to believe the franchise's best days were behind us, Creed burst onto the big screen, proving everyone wrong. Creed is a legacy sequel in league with films like Top Gun: Maverick. The performances, the cinematography, the sets, the fight choreography, and the soundtrack were all incredible. But the most outstanding element of Creed was the writing. The decisions made to enhance the story were BRILLIANT! Changing the story to follow the son of Creed rather than Rocky's son and Rocky's battle with cancer showing his same unyielding fight even against a new fo...
Cleverly deducing that he wasn't really fit for the ring himself anymore, Sylvester Stallone engages the services of Ryan Coogler and the hunky Michael B. Jordan to develop this competent spin-off series from his "Rocky" franchise. The youngster (rather aptly named "Adonis") was born on the wrong side of the blanket, and is leading a life of petty crime when he is adopted by "Mary Anne" (Phylicia Rashad), the wife of his father, the late heavyweight champion "Apollo Creed". She gives him a home and a decent education and he ends up working in an office, bored out of his tiny mind. Frustrated, he heads to gym seeking training but nobody wants to touch him. Nobody that is, but "Rocky" (Stallone) who deicides to teach him the discipline necess...
So Creeds kid as a good job and boxes on the side for reasons... and wins.
But he doesn't want to do underground boxing, he wasn't to make it big like his dad, because he's the bestest of the bestest.
And there is a LITTLE struggle here, a little of the heros journey, but Creed starts out on the top and sort of finishes there too... so he doesn't really grow or change as a character...
... because modern movies can't have that for reasons.
Creed hits all the best notes of the original Rocky, while also being able to step out from its shadow to deliver a nearly perfect film.
From start to finish, this movie had me invested. It was a brilliant choice to make Apollo Creeds son the lead of the new franchise. On the surface, Adonis Creed should have it all in terms of wealth and security. But due to him being a bastard child, his life was a struggle, giving him the same hunger that Rocky had in the original, which I thought was done really well.
The chemistry between all of our characters is spectacular throughout. There is a deep sense of care that Rocky (Sylvester Stallone) and Adonis (Michael B. Jordan) have for each other. Rocky and Adonis develop a close father-son rela...
I wasn't expecting this movie to be that good. I was blown away by this movie. Way better then all the rocky movies combined. Just the way they play the history of the movie was awesome.
Creed was a good introduction to a new generation of Rocky movies. Michael B Jordan is great choice to carry on the legacy.
