Creed (2015)

Creed-2015

Creed (or Rocky 7 as it also feels) introduces us to a new lead character, Adonis (Michael B Jorden, who we’ve seen recently in the poor remake of Fantastic 4). Adonis has grown up from birth without a father, having no direction & no real purpose in life. This all changes when Adonis learns that his father was a known boxing professional known as “Apollo Creed” (Character remembered best for Rocky 1, 2, 3 & 4). This discovery sets Adonis on a new path which may possibly change his life forever…

As Adonis learns more about his father, he tracks down the well known Rocky Ballboa (Sylvester Stallone), seeking a new mentor as Adonis decide like his father to take up the boxing gloves.

I’m happy to announce that of all the Rocky films, this one is my favourite. The film’s strength is completely run by our two leads actors and both have done an outstanding job as both roles would have been pushing limits. I’ll even make the call and say that Stallone got robbed, as I feel he deserved best supporting actor of 2015 for this film. I am more than happy with the new lead, acted by Michael B Jorden, who I can’t even compare to his work in Fantastic 4- redeemed!

This film is not just a film about boxing. The film goes a lot deeper than anything I was ever expecting and also deeper compared to the previous Rocky films.

Creed is a film that will motivate you. Every time Stallone speaks, you, as the viewer feel you are the one to comply with his actions. Creed also shares the journey of two men that have both suffered in many ways and even with different pasts, share so much. There are certain theme here that I won’t spoil that have truly made me cry at least twice in the film (See- I’m a real man for admitting it).

Our only disappoint with Creed is of cause this film wouldn’t be complete without a boy meeting a girl. I don’t hate this but I do feel this part of the story is simply too common for this type of film and was used only as must-have formula.

The main messages I got from the film is pure gold (slight spoiler here): in this day and age the fights we face daily we should never fight alone, be proud of who are and where you’re from. Creed’s a Knockout!

8.8/10
