Nice boxing movie.

Rating: 8/10 (12 November 2017)

The Rocky sage continues in the Creed series. I grew up with the Rocky movies. We Always watched them between Christmas and New Year. Watching the life of Rocky Balboa winning every fight he had in life. Watching Stallone's struggle of his own in life. Seeing Rocky and Stallone at this age in the movie Creed is magnificent. Who knew.
Stallone puts this "Micky"-like fragile trainer and he did it well. The beautiful Phylicia Rashad gave us a small performance, but I was glad to see her. After the Cosby she went off the radar for me. So it was a nice surprise.
As a Rocky movie this one is, sadly to say, a little bit modern. It's not the old school hero versus bad guy like Samuel Jackson explained how a hero and a villain has to be, when he was Mr. Glass in the movie unbreakable. But when you remember Rocky fighting Drago, the one who killed Creed sr. you know what I mean.
That being said, I am looking forward to Creed 2, where Don is going to revenge his father's death by fighting Drago. For me, the Rocky saga is still on! Great movie, thank you for not bringing in too much rap music.
