About this movie

Adonis Johnson never knew his famous father, world heavyweight champion Apollo Creed, who died before he was born. Still, there's no denying that boxing is in his blood, so Adonis heads to Philadelphia, the site of Apollo Creed's legendary match with a tough upstart named Rocky Balboa. Adonis tracks Rocky down and asks him to be his trainer. Despite his insistence that he is out of the fight game for good, Rocky sees in Adonis the strength and determination he had known in Apollo and agrees to take him on.

That movie was really something else and the story was right on trying to tie everything in with the Rocky Movies. Stallone and Jordan was really something else making this movie must have been a real trip. They should of won an Oscar but gotten ripped off by Hollywood as usual. Yeah I believe they did an outstanding job how they created one last Rocky Movie but it was really about Apollo Creed's son finding out about his history and rising to fame and continue the legacy that Apollo left behind.

Agree with a lot of Reviewers again they are Milking the Rocky Franchise to The Max. Expect Ivan Dragos Frozen Cryogenic Sperm to be cloned in a Futuristic Bout anytime Soon. Sly Stallone the best actor of the Iconic set of 80s Tough Guy actors. Adonis is not bad actor but the Film loses its plot for Championship Match with real life Boxer Tony Bellew. Would buy but not at this price The Film does not Reflect the price. More 3.99 than a 9.99 for only SD version. The previous 6 Rocky Films Flowed in both Screenplay and Chronologically. Rocky IV for me Best of The Bunch.

"CREED" sticks true to original Rocky's in the screenplay aspects, but undoubtedly lacks in modern originality. "Creed" throws in your face just about the same things the classic rocky movies would, with illness, loss and continuous motivational speeches (yet not as much as "Rocky Balboa" may I add). In conclusion the movie was very Stallone, with tasteless music and sometimes awkward dialogue between characters that can be cringe worthy and can be overall an unmemorable experience.
