Rocky is back!!

Rating: 9/10 (21 June 2016)

Creed is the seventh movie in this franchise, which started way back in nineteen seventy six and has seen ups ( Rocky 1, 2 and Rocky Balboa), just enjoyable ( Rocky 3 and 4 ) and downfalls (Rocky 5). And Creed is in my opinion the best since the first and is my personal favorite. In short Creed is awesome and I was amazed that Stallone really this time acted, for real in constant wit what we have seen from him in resent years, for instance the Expentables series.
So this film follows Adonis Creed, who as the name reveal is Apollo Creed's son and he wants to become a boxer like his late father, but here is the nice part : He wants to be famous by his own and not by his surname!! So he asks Mr Balboa of training and advises. One bonus fact is that is depicted as a fun of the Rocky lore, like we are, which shows that the writers wanted him be rel eatable and not be a puss over like with Jurassic World. Now the secondary characters like Creed's mother are human in their reactions ,but have their time to make a joke which after you see the flick, you will remember it.
The training and fighting scenes were expertly choreographed and Micheal B. Jordan looked the part . But the person who stole the show in the flick was Rocky himself ,who now is more a father-mentor figure that the lead and this fitted him ,because lets be real ,Stallone you can not be a lead in a sport-action flick in your late sixties!
If this is the end of the Rocky saga or the beginning of the Creed, is as yet ( June 2016) unknown. In any case is a strong intro to the story line of this franchise.
