Rating: 8/10 (30 November 2015)

Always been a fan of the "Rocky" movies as Stallone always does so good with them, as each are action paced and packed with ring action all while telling a story of life, heart, and courage. This latest installment called "Creed" picks up and follows the tale and journey in a fast paced and quick moving way of one young up and coming Adonis Johnson(Michael B. Jordan) later to be known as simply "Creed" as this young man guy is the son of former Philadelphia boxing legend and heavyweight champ and "Rocky" friend Apollo Creed. Starting with Adonis getting out of jail and reform school on the west coast he decides to moving back home on the east coast to Philadelphia with mother and you guested it he wants to follow in the footsteps of dad and be a fighter. Soon he meets "Rocky" in a restaurant and talks about being trained in the light heavyweight ranks. Slowly but surely Balboa gives in as Adonis is hot headed stubborn and with a high temper. Thru the ranks of hard knocks and life, Adonis learns about love, friendship, and commitment to people and Balboa himself. As "Rocky" reveals some bad news to Adonis before his big fight. Again this "Rocky" picture proves it's not if you win or lose but how you play the game and how hard you fight. It's a clear picture of faith and a tribute to courage and discovery of new life and a passing of the torch to the next and new generation of fists and hard knocks.
