Keine Sorge, niemand muss Rocky Kenner sein, um Creed zu verstehen. Für diejenigen aber, die Rockys Laufbahn seit den 70ern verfolgt haben, wird Creed ein Fest sein. Das hat vor allem den Grund, dass Ryan Coogler emotional eng am ersten Rocky bleibt. Rockys eigene Geschichte war mit seinem letzten Film 2006 abgeschlossen, Coogler aber findet doch noch neue Seiten, die es zu erzählen gibt. Vor allem beweist Creed was für ein wunderbarer Schauspieler Stallone ist, sofern er mit dem richtigen Regisseur arbeitet. Hier die Elemente von Creed: Wir haben den bescheidenen Boxer, seinen Mentor und eine Frau, die ihn protegiert. Coogler benutzt die Zutaten des Originals, justiert sie einfach neu, spielt mit unseren Erwartungen - und überrascht uns! Creed ist ein echter Publikumsliebling, ein …

'Creed' IS The New 'Rocky'!
Unknown - wrote on 01/18/2016
'Creed' breathes new life into the much adored 'Rocky' franchise. I've been a lifelong fan of the series. Rocky was always an admirable figure to me. I was ready for something new. This movie more than brought it! I wasn't prepared for the knockout that was delivered. There's much attention to the lore of the series. 'Creed' definitely feels like a true sequel, but at the same time has it's own singular story to tell. The initial backbone of an amateur rising up from nothing to stand toe-to-toe with a reigning champion (and having an older mentor) is all there as in the original 'Rocky'. It's the differences in themes and characters that makes this a standout from typical formula. Adonis is nothing like Rocky or Apollo. His past, and his father's shadow, looms over him. He …

as the title suggests this is the movie about appolo creeds son and his fight for glory in the ring , for those who dont know appollo died in rocky 4 fighting the russian ivan drago, fast forward the years the son of appolo seeks out rocky to help train him.
stallone as rocky is great in this and the awards are justified. he plays it real and honest and with the right amount of emotion.
While this is a movie about creed there is also the sub story running through it of rocky who is also having the biggest fight of his life but this time its with illness. . time takes everyone out he says its undefeated. That is a great line that sums up his life in this.
Micheal B jordan does a fine job as creed though he is no rocky or even appolo but he is still good .
the story is simple but very …

Creed - Movie Review

So I've just seen "Creed" and it was pretty good. I would go that far and say it's the best Rocky movie since the first.
Ryan Coogler directed the hell of this movie and let me just say it was beautifully executed. Coogler brings a fresh and brilliant story that really made "Creed" as special as it is.
Sylvester Stallone delivers one of the best performance in his career and I really hope he gets an Oscar nomination for this, because he's performance was both terrific and stellar.
Same with Michael B. Jordan as he delivered a terrific and solid performance, I mean right after "Fant4stic" you would think his career has just gone down the drain, it's not until "Creed" came to save him.
The camera work for the fight scenes was excellent, it was inspiring, it had passion and …

Is ‘Creed’ the New ‘Rocky’?
Leslie - wrote on 11/27/2015
"Creed", directed by Ryan Coogler, is the 7th film in the "Rocky" saga, which over nearly four decades has chronicled the arduous journey of Rocky Balboa, the "Italian Stallion". This saga traverses through the mean streets of Philadelphia, extends to the hard hitting gyms of Los Angeles, across time and the ocean to what was once known as the Soviet Union and back again. For those of you who have never seen a "Rocky" film, you may be asking yourself if it is a prerequisite. The answer is no. Well, not necessarily. You can walk into a theater today, buy a ticket for "Creed", a box of popcorn or a pack of Twizzlers, and enjoy all 133 minutes of the movie without knowing who Apollo Creed AKA the "Master of Disaster", AKA the "King of Sting", AKA the "Count of Monte Fisto" ever was. …
