Trainer Rocky

Rating: 8/10 (26 November 2016)

It's not the first time Rocky leaves the gloves aside himself but does train somebody else. But it's the first time the movie is called something different than "Rocky". And did it make a difference? It did for Awards season that's for sure. I think we can all agree that a "Rocky Part ..." would not have gotten as much attention or nominations as it did being called "Creed".
So good move there, Sly, and good thinking too. Also good movie he crafted and made possible. It may tick all the right boxes and therefor seem a bit by the numbers, but why change something when it works. And while not all things are as funny as Sly may have thought (i-Cloud and so forth, aiming more for the "older" crowd), it works overall and has a certain quality to it. And the actors are really good in it
