A fresh look at a classic, new and old meet in harmony. But, better on your home screen?

Rating: 9/10 (25 November 2015)

This is intentionally concise. Nostalgia can sometimes overshadow drama, though in this classic tale reborn in a new light, they seamlessly intertwine. Cinematography is top notch, still has shades of the series pilot. It was a heart thumper at times, has a touch or two of Stallone humor, and packs a surprise for those who think they can predict it's direction, think again. We loved this movie! I want to add something here that perhaps will reach one or two who could impact the future of motion pictures. We are a couple who usually watches movies at home, for a few reasons. I can say that honestly, the only reason I rated this film any lower than a perfect 10 is not the fault of the production itself. Our experience was interrupted by the setting: theaters are increasingly becoming overrun by immature individuals who carry in their hands the tool fully capable, combined with their own addictive behavior, of ruining the movie-going experience for all, and it's quite difficult to concentrate any longer. I am not sure I will be seeing many more movies in theaters. I'm just over it. We need, in every theater in this country, those ripping those tickets in half, warning theater-goers to put away their phones. This is getting really old, and it's killing a tradition. End cell phone idiocy now, please. See this movie! It is a MUST for every fan of it's Rocky predecessors. I want to suggest seeing it in a theater, though, you do these days run the risk of having it ruined by immature theater goers of all ages, who are incapable of dropping their idiot boxes. But if you can prop your foot up just right as to avoid the glare of the distractions, by all means, you'll find it a perfect investment in entertainment. I just cannot wait to see it again, instead, on my home screen- I know I'll enjoy it even more. Wishes for better. :-) Thanks to the producers of CREED.
