Everything you could ever wish for in the Rocky Franchise. Stalone is at his best.

Rating: 9/10 (10 January 2016)

Well, Rocky is really one of those franchises i could watch new installments forever. But Creed is a sweet surprise, , for being able to recreate the feeling of the Rocky films, while bringing so much more, for being something really new and different, for how great it is.
The story is amazing, the screenplay is just so great. The way it integrates all the elements you love in The Rocky films and the story of one of the best characters in the franchise in a new and exciting story is incredible. There's so many amazing scenes, some really funny, but overall this film has a lot of really epic heartfelt moments that you wont forget.It introduces such a complex, interesting new lead character, one that you just want to see more and more. There's also plenty of other amazing characters, especially Bianca.
But no matter how great the characters are, The actors are the ones that bring them to live. And the film is filled with amazing performances, but of course Michael B. Jordan shines like the sun. He's just so great he deserves tons of awards, But Sylvester Stallone really is at his best, i mean he's always wonderful, but i haven't seen him like this in a long time, he's just so amazing. He definitely will be nominated and win the Oscar for best supporting actor. His character has such a brilliant arc. And the two actors make the perfect duo.
Production values are great, the score is amazing, integrating some of the classic scores you love and bringing a new feel, even if sometimes i wish they used it a little more. And the cinematography is incredible.
There's many references to some of things you love the most in the Rocky films, especially at the end, What a great ending! Its a really immersive film, one that has an amazing story that will glue you to the screen, And i love how they ended Adonis character arc for now. Just watch this amazing film, one that is everything you could ever which for. I cant wait for the sequel!
Right now im close to give it a 10, but i didn't feel it, so im just going to give it a 9 (.8) maybe after a second viewing i will give it a 10.
