Creed (2015)

Sadly Over-hyped

Expected more

A Masterpiece!

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

This movie got me so expired that I punched a wall and broke two fingers!

Stallone gets an oscar nomination for his best role since copland her lost out to Mark Rylance performance in the Tom Hanks bridge of spies . but won a golden globe for the first time. so this is a rocky for a new generation , we all thought that we didn't need a another one boy were we wrong, so we have a rocky universe going with apollo creed son.

May contain plot spoilers if you haven't figured out the entire plot from the title and poster.Adonis Johnson (Michael B. Jordan) is the illegitimate son of Apollo Creed who died while mom was pregnant. He has climbed the corporate ladder but feels incomplete because he is not a boxer. Not being able to secure a trainer in LA, he travels to Philadelphia where a reluctant Rocky (Sylvester Stallone) trains him and he also gets a love interest (Tessa Thompson). At this point the plot becomes more inane as it simply repeats the first film with different characters, if fact I was expecting to hear, "Cut me Mick" it was so grossly similar. Oh wait. It was Light Heavyweight, so I guess it was different.I can't imagine this film catching on to a sequel, but then again I never imagined Hellraiser going into outer space either. I was disappointed primarily in the trite formula script. They even reused the sound track which was the best aspect of the film. I left the theater feeling, been there, done that, got the t-shirt several times over.Now having said that, the acting was great. The plot was fan fiction quality. 3 1/2 starsGuide: 1 quick F-bomb. No sex or nudity.

It was undeniably a good film, the boxing stats that appeared with every new boxer on screen was a nice idea although it did become a bit too much of a fighter movie for my tastes. I think the idea of following Apollos son and getting an elderly Rocky to train him was good as it built on the friendship and loyalty between Rocky and Apollo, but I don't like what they've done to Rocky; a fighter and believer has suddenly turned into a cynical old man, not even bothered to fight his own illness (yes the death of Paulie and Adrian, his only family we ever saw, would have messed him up in the head but it seemed unlike the Rocky we knew) And the idea of an illegitimate son just besmirched the memory of a favourite character from four films, yes they needed a link to Apollo but couldn't they have found another way??The storyline was similar really to the original Rocky film, except instead of a nobody given a shot it was an up-and-comer. And it can be argued that Rocky almost took the role of Mickey.As I said it was a good film and I do hope they make sequel, but maybe lighten up on Rocky's character
