The 2015 movie Creed directed by Ryan Coogler is a spin off of the Rocky movies. Starring Apollo Creed’s son Adonis Johnson (Michael B Jordan) who is trying to make a name for himself in boxing without using his father’s name. So he seeks the help of his father’s friend Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) to train and mentor him which Rocky reluctantly did. Later news get out that he is the product of Apollo cheating on his wife and that he’s a Creed. Which helps him get a shot at the light heavyweight champion.
The movie in my opinion was actually pretty good and entertaining. I believe it was well paced and the idea of the movie was pretty solid. Which is Adonis trying to make name of himself in what he knows best which is boxing and how he tried to achieve that without using the name Creed since he never knew his father. Then their Rocky who mentor Adonis to the best of his abilities and even though Rocky slip up near the end of the movie he made it up to Adonis by bring his girlfriend to him at the end of movie. The ending is reminds me of the end of the first Rocky movie being that the even though the underdog doesn’t win he was still able to put a fight against the current champion and almost beat them but still makes a name for themselves. Overall I believe the movie still have a positive outlook on trying to achieves one’s dreams.
