Legends are not born, they're made!

Rating: 8/10 (7 February 2019)

There's two types of dreams. There's dreams that come true, and there's dreams that stay dreams. Creed is a story about a dream come true. It pursues the world of Adonis Johnson, the son of Apollo Creed, who was killed in the ring fighting the powerful Ivan Drago. Strongly motivated to continue his fathers legacy, he turns to some unlikely sources for help in training, both of them being the boxing gyms in the local area. Not finding this helpful enough, he eventually turns to Rocky himself for training. At first, Rocky is against it, explaining that he has retired from boxing and training. After he finds out that he is the son of Apollo, Rocky feels that maybe he's looking into the eyes of a champ in the making. Now wanting to be part of making that dream come true, Rocky teaches him everything he knows, and once again, the name Creed is back in the headlines. The story is so much more then boasting a legendary name and creating your own legacy. It's about putting everything to the side, and stopping at nothing to achieve your dreams and goals. It's not even about proving to everyone that you can do it, it's about proving to yourself that you can do it. I loved the scene, for example, when Rocky faces Creed in the mirror, and explains to him that he's looking at his toughest opponent, and how to take him down. I really saw this that Creed was looking in the mirror, and seeing the only person that was standing between him, and his quest to take down Conlin, the strongest boxer that's ever stepped in the ring to date. Then another problem emerges...Rocky is faced with a problem that may will affect him in a way that he has never been affected before. However, because Rocky has never really retired from fighting, he fights his way to see to it that Creed becomes who he deserves to be, dead or alive! Energetic, powerful, maybe even poetic, Creed will meet or exceed your expectations as a great film to watch together in the evening.
