Ingeniously, Coogler has transformed “Rocky”—the modern cinematic myth that, perhaps more than any other, endures as a modern capitalist Horatio Alger story of personal determination and sheer will—into a vision of community and opportunity, connections and social capital, family and money.
There are as many quietly effective moments as there are stand-up-and-cheer moments, and they’re all handled with skill and dexterity on both sides of the camera.
I wasn't expecting this movie to be that good. I was blown away by this movie. Way better then all the rocky movies combined. Just the way they play the history of the movie was awesome.
The themes of love, loyalty, ambition, honor and legacy that lend sinew to the story are delivered with such a clean punch that they as feel as fresh as they did in 1976.
Half the film, written by Coogler and Aaron Covington, revels in cliches, skillfully. The other half sidesteps them and concentrates on scenes and relationships that breathe easily and draw us in the hard way: not by narrative fiat or bald calculation, but through well-written and shrewdly acted encounters.
Sylvester Stallone doesn't get back in the ring in Creed, but he still comes away as a big winner in this far-fetched but likeable offshoot of the geriatric Rocky series.

I want to begin by praising Sylvester Stallone for his portrayal of Rocky. In my opinion, he was the movie's standout performance. In spite of this, I felt that the entire movie was a bit sluggish and lacked many fresh concepts. Adonis was essentially rocky, and Rocky practically plays Mickey. I doubt it was a nice addition to the heritage and, by the way, I was a great fan of the previous four. I wonder whether the money invested in it was truly worth it. To be honest, this movie accomplished one thing better: the boxing itself was better. It seemed much more plausible.
It's all well and good until you try to retire and then your ex-colleagues kids track you down and through old-age guilt-trip force you to teach them their late father's trade. Tell them to **** off." The results will be at best, mediocre and only that good as they are being compared to catastrophic previous results.
How many times do we have to hear the same story over and over, Sylvester ? I was in high-school back in '77 when Rocky came out. It was a good movie. Ever since then, what ? Even those Rambo movies and Get Carter were more entertaining than this.
