This film starts off with young Adonis in a juvenile detention center fighting. After getting pulled apart from the other kid he meets someone who becomes a big part of his life, his new mom, the person who raises him and the only one who is the closest person to his father who passed away before he was born . The film then skips some years in his life into an office scene. Adonis is presented with a promotion, but turns it down. He doesn't claim that he is a Creed, but after getting his mind straight on boxing. He moves to Philadelphia and starts training with someone who he calls his uncle and who we all know as Rocky. After a long day of working out and training he goes to his new apartment and ends up meeting Bianca. Adonis, Rocky, and Bianca go through a bunch of drama and medical issues. Through all the problems Adonis is hit with he continued to put his all and keep the two people who motivate him in his corner.
When it comes to this movie I'm a little bias because I haven't seen any of the earlier movies of Rocky except for the first one. Overall I think is movie has made it into my list of favorite movies, I love how there are multiple little details/hints that refer back to the earlier movies and just the production all together was amazing. I'd recommend this to anyone who loves all the Rocky films, if they enjoy watching sport related movies, or anyone in general because even though it's about boxing there's more to the story.
