Rating: 10/10 (27 November 2015)

At first I thought that "Creed" would be just a Rocky spin-off, entirely focused on Creed's son, Adonis; or that it would be a "Rocky 5" disaster all over again (with all due respect).
However, as a child/adolescent/adult who grew up watching Rocky movies, interpreting them as life lessons - it was a stunning and joyous surprise to realize that "Creed" is far more than a simple spin-off, this is, indeed, a "Rocky 7", this is a true "Rocky's Legacy"!
Rocky isn't just that regular secondary/support character, he's actually fighting for his life! And when he almost gave up, Adonis gave him a reason to keep on living. Rocky sees a bit of himself on Adonis, both started with nothing, and both managed to rise to the top!
"Rocky Balboa", aka "Rocky 6", was already amazing, since it went back to the original Rocky's roots, with the motto that: "it's not about winning, it's all about going the distance" - but "Creed" managed to go beyond that, at all levels!
The acting is outstanding, Stallone is at his prime, Jordan is already a rising star, and the rest of the cast is also great!
Ryan Coogler also has his merit, he managed to give the Rocky franchise what it truly deserved - being "Creed" an extremely emotional movie, about friendship, family, perseverance, loyalty, sacrifice, and willpower!
I surely hope the Academy gives "Creed" the recognition it deserves!
