One of the best of the Rocky series

Rating: 9/10 (7 January 2016)

It took a little bit for the story to develop, and even Stallone's first scene had me doubting thinking Stallone had lost it. As the movie went on and Stallone became more and more engulfed in his relationship with Adonis the movie grabbed a hold of me.
Sly absolutely steals the show in Creed and I will be rooting for him to win the Oscar for best supporting actor. His speeches are so real and heartfelt to me I couldn't help but tear up by watching his performance through the movie. Rocky really portraits the type of person I hope to be in my old age coaching and training the young and talented youth.
I give the movie a 9 out of 10 because although Slys performance is a 99 out of 10 the rest of the cast is really just average and pales in comparison to what Stallone left on the table. I do think that Michael B Jordan has a bright future but it is evident he didn't entirely have the life experience to fully take on this role and own it. When Stallone goes full depth into his role the actors in the movie can not go there with him unfortunately. The movie would be even better if Michael could keep up with Stallone on the emotional moments of the movie.
