depressing

Rating: 5/10 (2 December 2015)

This film is depressing. Rocky now as a coach battling cancer just does not work. This is not a Rocky film. The last Rocky film Rocky Balboa was truly the end of the series. This film about Creed's son is just not Rocky. Frankly the original Apollo Creed was never meant to be a series long main figure. His story was never the interesting one. So I am very disappointed. the media hype is way overblown and helping in the early ratings. But ultimately it is depressing to see the series take this turn.
Even the story from the last Rocky which was Rocky Balboa might have been more interesting to have followed up on. Stallone did not write this and that shows. Ultimately, is Creed as captivating as a character as rocky. Not at all. if anything, this should be considered a new series called Creed. Disappointing.
