    I saw it early this afternoon. Creed was a very good movie and I like how Rocky has taken the wise elder role in Creed. The fight scenes were done very well in this movie. Even though, Stallone completely took the template from the first Rocky film this was a good spin off movie. I actually felt bad for Adonis & Rocky both especially Rocky going through tragedy after tragedy in his backstory in the film. Adonis just wanted to prove his worth & follow his dreams.

    I give this a 8/10. I wouldn't mind a seeing a sequel to Creed and he fights an opponent much tougher than the previous one. Call me crazy but I'm thinking maybe Adonis fights Clubber Lang's or Ivan Drago's offspring.

    Me, my pops and my younger brothers went to go see it.
    We spent Thanksgiving in Nashville with my parents and at the last minute we decided to go.
    It was good and better then Rocky Balboa from 2006 and it was great to seeing one of my favorite actor's, Wood Harris play Duke's son.
    I just wished Wood was in the movie more and was in Adonis corner to carry on the legacy of Apollo and Duke.

    The concensus in this thread is this movie is watchable and dvd worthy.

    This is one if the best films of the year imo, and mos def deserves a sequel.

    Maybe Rocky dies in the next one then Wood Harris takes over.

    Saw that joint while i was in the a, ? was alright, kinda overrated actually when you realize thry basicalky ripped off like the last half of the movie straight from rocky 1 right down to ? /rock getting sick before the big fight

    I thought it was funny that the christina millian looking chick even said dogg was a square, i dont care how good a physique he got himself, you cant make a ? a ? , mike jordan cant convince you hes this hard rock ? that been in juvie and ? , damn shame action jackson didnt take off for carl weathers because he even now is like 10x more charismaric than adonis was.

    I also aint lke adonis hopping up like the undertaker or some ? after getting knocked upside the dome for 11 rounds like it was nothing, eye looking like a tomato and ? , come on now

    This is a good read if anyone is interested. After watching Creed, I went back and watched a few of the Rocky movies. For some reason something bothered me about them. This article pretty much sums it all up.

    Jesus Christ lmfao

    worst thing about when a movie is successful like this is the ? that people really try to come up with to get some hits to their websites.

    Creed was a good movie I liked the old school vibe it had to it. Only thing I didnt like was the boxer he fought at the end

    *dead*



    love the movie, yeah 7.5 out of 8..my illest scenes were him running with the 4 wheelers, and ? bikes, and him popping right back up after they did all those flash backs..had me hyped as ? ...I thought they should of made him struggle a little bit more to get rocky to trainer him, to work a little more to be a boxer. He stepped into the ring and was already knocking n*g out! ha ha


    oh any boxing fan. notice how art imitated life...with Andre Ward having to pull out from a fight because of injury...lol

    part 2 should be Ward's character against Creed.

    My main gripe with the movie is they messed up the simplest ? . Champ fights out the red corner. Liked the throwback eye injury from Rocky 4. Dope ass movie that I'll pay cash for on Blu Ray.

    It's called acting. Lol. He barely got touched with that punch. Dude throwing that right didn't change up the tempo of his arm the whole time. Mike B. meeting the punch is what made it seem realistic.

    Saw it last night. Heard it wasn't making the money they projected so I had to support Mike B. It was good. I liked how Stallone played the background and let dude shine while also getting his one liners in.

    There wasn't wall to wall action but the story was entertaining. I wanted Avon Barksdale to get more screen time tho. Was his "you ain't built for this" line even in the movie?

    I give Rocky movies their credit. They have you wanting to throw combos at somebody during those montages.
