Not as good a Rocky but Creed stands alone.

Rating: 6/10 (4 December 2015)

Creed's story is strong. Creed's illegitimate son has Apolo's talent mixes with personal demons. Creed's story is line similar to the original Rocky! A boxer working through the odds. A love interests with troubles. A once in the life time shot, and a reluctant trainer. Rocky is Micky and Creed is Rocky. The story is about people and personalities. Creed picks up when Stalone is introduced. Stories of ageing the past, and Rocky reaching out for others creates a compelling story. The ending and beginning is just like the original Rocky. The Stalone segment compels new character aspects where Rocky become Micky a former boxer turned trainer! Creed is a strong but no Rocky. Directed well with a good mix of boxing choreioaphy and personal struggles. I give Creed a six, no Rocky but an interesting continuation.
