Creed. Is the first Stallone Rocky movie to not be written or directed by Stallone. Creed carries the spirit of Stallone's Rocky. and the Vision of Creed's writers and its director. And Creed has a powerful vision. Adonis Johnson is the son of Apollo Creed. Apollo had a affair that resulted in Adonis. Adonis has never met his father . Having been born after the events in Rocky 4. and after his mother dies Adonis is the victim of the system. until Apollo's wife tracks him down. And brings him in. She raises him to be a Creed. And Adonis like his father has the burning desire to be a fighter. He seeks out the man that beat his father for the Heavyweight Championship all those years ago. Rocky Balboa is older.maybe wiser. His friends and family are all gone. but when Adonis shows up on Rocky's doorstep asking for Rocky to train him. It's the first steps of a journey that'll take them to life death and redemption and love. Rocky and Adonis form a family. Adonis calls Rocky Uncle. because after all is said and done. Rocky and Adonis have no one else but each other. And their love for one another is going to see them thru some harsh challenges.
A powerful story given life by incredible acting. Creed isn't another Rocky movie. It stands on its own and needs to be its own franchise.
