The legacy that lives on

Rating: 10/10 (29 November 2015)

Adonis Johnson(Michael B. Jordan) who is the son of famed boxer Apollo Creed from a secret affair. Longs to be boxer like his dad, although he has never met his dad, but the fighters blood is inside him too. So Adonis tracks down Rocky Balboa(Sylvester Stallone) is hopes he will train him, Rocky is reluctant, but eventually agrees to. How will they both come of this?
I like the way that the film is it's own thing, but there are parts it does homage to Rocky movies. Michael B. Jordan is great has Adonis, I believe his best performance since Fruitvale Station. Stallone is also great has Balboa, he plays the character now who is now past his prime, and at odds with his mortality, and he and Jordan play off each other perfectly. The boxing scenes are intense, feel has real. If you're a Rocky fan, then I'll bet you'll love Creed.
