Good movie but grossly overrated

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Its a good movie, but if you've seen Rocky, you've seen Creed.

Some of the best acting os Sylvester's life. Really a well done movie. I liked how it wasn't just natural talent that allowed Donnie to succeed but he needed the support of others and hardworking to achieve his goals. Great movie

I have never watched any of the previous Rocky films. Naturally, I have heard of them and Creed in particular. I was always intrigued about this movie due to the overwhelming hype it received from critics. So on a whim late one night, I happened to catch this film on HBO. I found myself neither impressed nor disappointed with Creed. It's an average sports drama that had no reason to be made, besides cashing in on 80s nostalgia. Pros: Michael B Jordan and Tessa Thompson have good on-screen chemistry. Sylvester Stallone does decent playing Rocky despite having little to work with. Technical aspects of this movie are fine. Michael B Jordan excels in his fight scenes. Michael and Sylvester do have some chemistry. Cons: The plot. It takes a while to build up to the climax of this movie(the fight scene with Ricky) and after we get to the climax, the movie pretty much dies. There isn't a lot of tension or exposition given. The movie starts with Donnie being locked up in Juvie and jumps directly to modern times. For a two hour plus movie, they had enough time to give a little more exposition. Everything we learn about Donnie is told to us and hardly shown. The story is insanely cliche and predictable. 30 minutes in and you already have an impression of how it's going to end. By the time I got to the ending, I just felt numb and not as inspired as the film wanted me to be. Not only does Donnie fail to make a name for himself at the end but then we get a ripoff "Rocky Stair-steps" scene.

Sylvester Stallone returns as Rocky Balboa in this seventh installment of the Rocky franchise. Taking place sometime after the events of Rocky Balboa, the movie focuses on the character of Adonis Creed (Michael B. Jordan), the illegitimate son of Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers), Rocky's original ultimate foe. Adonis is trying to become a boxer just like his father and recruits Rocky as a trainer in the ultimate bid for championship.Creed is an excellent example on how being formulaic is not necessarily a bad thing. The story in this film is textbook perfect sports film story. It's quintessentially Rocky in a way that's so blatant as to be utterly charming. And it works. The director, the screenwriter, the actors, they all believe in this story, in this franchise, and it shows in their work. Rocky has always been all about heart and it warms me to see a film such as this being made in modern times. It tells me that people still believe in the right things.I also like that they didn't try to reboot the series with Adonis. He is not meant to replace Rocky. Including this one, there have been seven Rocky movies so far, and they have built their own mythos, their own unique character cast. The story of Adonis builds on top of Rocky and Apollo, but it remains its own things.What can I say, it's a great movie and worthy of the name of Rocky.
