Creed is a fantastic movie. One of the best Stallone performances in a long time. The story was just as good as the acting it may have a weak villain but all the other characters are just fantastic I love this movie and I can't wait for the sequel!

Creed is a great addition to the Rocky saga and Stallone gives one of his most poignant performances since his turn in Copland way back in 1997. Ably directed by rising talent Ryan Coogler.

From the Rocky series, this definitely did something with it, create another awesome boxing movie but with SYLVESTER STALLONE as a mentor. It worked perfectly scene by scene to see how it would work out.Ryan Coogler definitely did a boxing spectacle right here. Showing a theme of struggle and training to result in a good end. But nothing really super-creative about. Colors just felt like silver and black. This could've done better, but it's done enough.

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
