Much of what makes Creed work is the inspired casting of Michael B. Jordan as the headstrong son of Apollo Creed that strives to be the next boxing champ on his own terms rather than because of his father's legacy. Stallone gives his bona fide best performance in decades. And the movie actually does a good job of reminding you how old Stallone has gotten, Creed's next triumph is reminding audiences that the sonuvabitch can still act. The dramatic moments pack as much of a punch as the excitingly staged boxing matches.
