21st Century Rocky

Rating: 8/10 (21 January 2016)

Creed is at first glance just a continuation of the Rocky franchise, however as the film progresses you realise it can definitely stand on its own. With a revitalised performance from Sylvester Stallone and a fresh new star in Michael B Jordan, the film accomplishes the task of getting a new generation excited for sporting movies.
There's plenty of boxing action to keep the audience entertained, and a rich back story with complicated characters. It's well paced and the musical score works well with the movies plot. Stallone gives his best dramatic performance in many years and Jordan shows he can continue to lead in future features.
Whether your a fan of sports movies or not this story has plenty to offer, this is how sports movies should be made.
