    This isn't technically a Rocky movie, though.

    MBJ isn't enough of a household name to sell tickets, so they needed Stallone.

    If this movie does well, and Jordan is praised, I think we'll be seeing sequel(s) for Creed. This is exactly what MBJ needed to really elevate his career.

    Shame on you all for just bypassing the fact that Avon and Wallace are in the same movie. :(:eek:

    Anyway, I entered the thread preparing to laugh at the movie and say I wouldn't even borrow it for free at the local library (upon release to dvd/blueray) but yeah I was wrong.
    I'll be seeing that at the cinema. Hopefully MBJ keeps doing good work and gets other great and better roles.

    Seems to me that the Creed Origin Story, the Clubber lang origin story and the Drago origin story will give Rocky series plenty of life down the road. Those are the movie I want to see. And while I think this movie will be ok, I think the money is the origin stories as there can be more street grit than they get with today's struggles, and we already know the character, but we don't know them that well.

    At first I was Torn, but now I will welcome this movie With Arms Wide Open. After watching the last Rocky movie, I thought... Is This The End... but now I'm thinking Can You Take Me Higher.

    ever since watching him in season 1(?) of the wire I've been a big fan.

    also jordans role in the movie Fruitvale Station was very GOOD and underrated

    he's got a bright future, for sure.

    This is getting pretty good reviews and there is talk of a Supporting Oscar Nom for Sly. Whatever the case I think 29 yr old Director Ryan Coogler is a legit talent. Oh and Maryse Alberti lensed it, she was the cinematographer on Darren Aronofsky's 'The Wrestler.'

    Looks interesting, I'm in.

    I think it would have been cooler if they made a prequel about Apollo and his rise to the heavyweight champion, but this will do for now.

    I was already hype for this movie but the good reviews are bringing that hype to a new level.

    I usually like to watch movies when its slow and the theater is empty but this def seems like the kind of movies to watch with a big crowd. Will be seeing it on its opening weekend!

    I am seeing things saying Stallone might get best supporting actor out of this
    This looks awesome
    I saw SouthPaw and I think this will blow that out of the water

    Shouldn't be too hard to blow out SouthPaw. Wasn't a bad movie it was just kind of meh.

    Would be apropos for Stallone to get an award for a Rocky movie that's not even titled Rocky, lol

    Getting good reviews.

    MJ is a good actor and rumors are coming out that the second and third creed are already in the works.

    I hope it's not run of the mill I've seen a thousand times boxing movie. If you seen a rocky movie, you've seen them all. I don't care about Oscar worthy performances.

    Like JYD said it wasn't bad just kind of Meh
    I don't think Jake had much to work with
    It did not pull you in well enough and was formulaic
