A sequel that devolves into nothing more than a useless reboot

Rating: 5/10 (15 March 2017)

Many people will probably watch this movie just to follow the evolution of Sylvester Stallone. It is a pleasure to see Stallone grow as an actor with his age.
Having said that, this movie is nothing more than a weak remake, with Michael B. Jordan replacing Rocky. The fact that he is a "Creed", adds nothing to the story, just as much as Jordan doesn't add anything to the character.
It's exploitation of a unique icon, that was shining in the 70's, brilliant in its simplicity, and now it's copied without a character. As enjoyable as it MIGHT have been as a stand alone movie for the new generation, it's a letdown for people who actually know the character that should've stopped after Balboa (part 6!!!!!).
