He seeks a mentor who is the former heavyweight boxing champion and former friend of Apollo Creed, the retired Rocky Balboa. Rocky eventually agrees to mentor Adonis. With Rocky’s help they hope to get a title job to face even deadlier opponents than his father. But whether he is a true fighter remains to be seen…….
The Movie Review
An orphan named Adonis Johnson juggles between juvenile detention centers and care homes growing up in 1990s Los Angeles, until Mary Anne Creed adopts him. Mary Anne is the first wife of his father – Apollo Creed, a legendary boxer who died in the ring before he was even born. She takes care of Adonis, and he grows into a smart guy with a steady career.
However, boxing is in Adonis’ blood, and he declines a promotion to pursue his sporting ambitions. He travels to Philadelphia in the hopes of training with Rocky Balboa, another boxing legend.
Director Ryan Coogler teams up once again with Michael B. Jordan from Fruitvale Station to bring the Rocky series back to its feet, following the last film’s failure. Under his directing skills, everything from the well-choreographed fight scenes to the development of Adonis’s relationship with Bianca feels brand new. Creed is a film that is both entertaining and heartfelt.
One thing I like the most about Creed is the writing, Ryan Coogler and Aaron Covington did so well that the cast is able to fully immerse themselves in their roles. Jordan gives an amazing performance again, and I enjoyed how his character was a wonderful guy who simply made some bad judgments.
We see a lot of horrible characters attempting to do good, but Jordan brought a lovely aspect to the role that I really liked. Stallone offers one of his best performances to date, proving once again that he’s a fantastic actor who doesn’t require a machine gun in his hands.
He has several extremely moving passages in this film, which he flawlessly delivers. Tessa Thompson, who plays the love interest, is equally stellar in her supporting role.
The music in the film is excellent as well, and the cinematography was just as good. Do you know how difficult it is to film a fight scene when there are hundreds of boxing movies out there, but I felt the scenes here worked well and had a real sense of movement.
What I hated though was the nostalgia. Don’t get me wrong – it’s exactly like Rocky, but we know it’s not, and it leaves a strange feeling. The good news is that Stallone delivers a consistently excellent performance for his part, strong enough to earn him an Oscar nomination.
The Bottom Line
In conclusion, Creed is surprisingly good. And I don’t just mean surprisingly good for a sports movie.
Aside from a few clichés about the importance of hard work and perseverance (which are a staple of the genre), Creed rises above tradition and not only pays respects to the original with plenty of references, but also raises the bar with a solid storyline, memorable performances. In fact, it could be the best Rocky film since Rocky.
