Amazing, bittersweet performance by Stallone. One for the ages.

Rating: 10/10 (21 November 2018)

Raw portrayal of young Adonnis as he struggles to understand his identity and answer the question if he is really worthy of the Creed legacy. The film takes you through his journey as he feels thoroughly humiliated and abandoned to the point where he doubts himself as a man and, in order to help him, Rocky is forced to relive painful moments of his life as the events unfold in an eerily similar manner to his own past with Apollo. A passing of the torch also slowly comes into focus as Rocky grows old and weak and knows he won't always be in the picture. Bring a hanky.
