Over-Hyped with a Few Good Moments

Rating: 7/10 (11 February 2016)

This movie had few special effects. The acting was the whole point, and the script was lacking in enough brawls and romance to make this movie amazing. There were a few good fight moments during the final boxing scene. Fighting at the beginning of this movie made Creed appear to be action packed, yet watching someone practice nearly un-opposed for most of the storyline was boring. If Creed had had as many fights as Rocky did between matches, then this movie would have been good. Sylvester Stallone definitely made some easy money during this film. Boxing landmarks seemed important in this film. Increasing the action for these new characters to assume the leadership of the hallowed Phillie boxing grounds would help.
