Everything I wanted it to be

Rating: 9/10 (7 January 2016)

To begin with I found the storyline weak and as such it made me think that Creed was made purely to be a money spinner under the Rocky franchise but I am happy to say that the plot thickened after the opening scenes and from then on the film was gripping, heartfelt, funny and tremendously reminiscent of all the Rocky films.
There will be some critics that state that Creed has in places; a similar storyline to other Rocky films however, I don't count that as a bad thing as it enabled Creed to have the typical Rocky feel that I desperately wanted to unveil in front of me.
Ryan Coogler deserves a pat on the back for his efforts and I advise that you give the film time to begin with and after a few opening scenes the film will develop into everything you wanted it to be if you're a die hard Rocky fan.
