The amazing Rocky returns!

Rating: 9/10 (2 January 2016)

Let me start off by saying I have not seen any of the previous Rocky films before this so I am judging this as a film on it own merits as every film should be judged in this way. That being said Creed is one exceptional film. I mean it really is. This film wins on all accounts. Ryan Coogler was the right person to make this film a reality with exceptional acting and a emotionally compelling story to go along with it.
This film wins on all fronts. Micheal B Jordan is a excellent new edition to this world and gives this story so much heart in his overall performance making a big comeback after the failure of Fantastic Four proving that he is a phenomenal actor overall and is rightfully deserving of a Oscar win at some point in his career.
Sylvester Stallone also makes a strong return to the franchise making the story all the much more memorable. I really loved him in this role as he took it with all the force he had and he undoubtedly won for me, and is deserving of so much love for what he managed to do in this role as well.
Overall this is a powerful film and is a welcome home for all Rocky fans, and is just a good legitimate movie as well.
