One step. One punch. One Round at a time. - Rocky Balboa

Rating: 10/10 (3 February 2016)

I went in the theater with high expectations. All six others are very good - good - watchable, so I thought Creed, it will be a good movie, I thought it will earn 7-8 points from me.
False. This movie is awesome. I really don't know where i shall begin. Because nearly everything is perfect.
Adonis Creed aka Michael B. Jordan had a lot of pressure. He can't be that what Stallone was 40 years before, right? Well, he is not. Because Stallone became a legend with Rocky 1. But I claim that Jordan's Performance is WAY better than Stallone's in the first movies! This guy is so sympathetic, his performance is simply perfect.
The Love Story isn't kitschy at all. Also, the actress did her job very well. I've already seen couples with better chemistry (for example Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone in the amazing spider-man), but in this movie the chemistry is still solid - good.
Stallone had touched me very deep and sometimes i had to hold back some tears. This performance! His appearance suffice to make the movie a lot more watchable. He doesn't try to steal Jordan's show. He holds himself a bit in the background. The chemistry between Rocky and Adonis is flawless. I think it's Stallones best performance he ever made. And I've seen a lot of Stallone-Movies.
Then we have the music. The tracks are from God's hands. Meek Mill's "Lord Knows" mixed with "Fighting Stronger". A short part from the original theme."Don't waste my time". "Check". " Last Breath"...Perfect.
Training scenes. Perfect. Fight scenes. Perfect.
Creed doesn't try to reinvent the wheel. Sometimes, It follows a bit the pattern of Rocky 1. And this is good. Because every idea is already exhausted.
I want to tell you my favorite scene because i got goosebumps watching this: it was at the point Adonis runs to Rocky's apartment, followed by quads and motorcycles, then he stops in front of Rocky's window, then gives him to understand he is ready to fight, and rocky who smiles and gives some punches in the air. During the whole scene, the track "Lord Knows/Fighting Stronger" plays.
Has this movie got some flaws? If you want to search on a high level, you will find some of them. The jokes aren't placed very well, so they steal a little bit atmosphere for a few seconds. Mary-Anne Creed was a bit superficial. The adversary wasn't very strong like Ivan Drago or a bad-ass like Clubber Lang. But this is necessary, because in the sequel, the antagonist has to be more powerful than in the prequel (this is marketing). But, even this little flaws can't worsen the score. Watch this movie or die. This is definitely the best movie I've ever seen in a theater in the last few years. 10 out of 10
