Creed movie thread

Bellew was a sh¹t villain

I enjoyed it. One of my favorite boxing movies.

Just watched creed and I thought it was awesome. Granted some parts are unrealistic it is a rocky film at the end of the day but as a boxing purist which most of us are here I thought they did a hell of a job. I loved how they filmed the fight with HBO. I love how they used real fighters and you could really tell the main character Adonis really had to learn to box just by way they filmed it u could tell he legit learned how to box and I wouldn't be surprised if the ones working with him said he could turn pro. it's hard to find a good boxing movie these days. I like most boxing fans love Rocky movies I really hope they make a creed 2 and 3. Maybe get ggg involved lol. I forget what that other boxing movie was called that came out few months before creed but it was terrible where as creed was great

Probably my favourite movie of all time. Saw it 3 times. The mrs had never seen a Rocky film. She loved it, now she's watching all the Rocky films!

yeah it's great movie .. agreed :)

Creed movie premier release! hi, do you know its premier will be release in UK today.. i am so excited to watching this movie now :)

How was Gabriel Rosados performance? he did pretty good

Moderators: If this is in the wrong forum, my mistake just move it to the right forum. Great movie, really enjoyed it. Anybody else see it yet? Spoliers: I really liked the sparing match between actor michael b jordan and andre ward. All of the fight scenes were great and very cinematic. Overall great boxing movie, go check it out! Very predictable, which made it boring for me. I could only get half way through and I'm sure I can predict the ending. It's basically rocky but with a black guy. I'd much rather a biopic of Robinson, on his rise and then fall and fight with the demons of violence and alcohol and multiple affairs. Now that's a movie.

Stallone won the golden globe for Best Supporting Actor in Creed. Oscar nominations come out later this week almost a guarantee he is up for an Oscar as well.

Have you or any one else seen the revenant? Which was better No one is saying it was the best movie of the year. The Revenant was really good as well. It was a solid movie and one that people didn't expect to turn out as well as it did. When it was announced many people said it was just Stallone cashing in after the 6th movie was not that good. Stallone had a great performance and the movie was solid. Don't exaggerate what people are saying here.

"Creed" is a worthy successor to ‘Rocky’ I admit to being fairly knocked out by “Creed,” a movie that is not just about boxing, which I have never cared about, but also is a sequel to the “Rocky” franchise, which I pretty much gave up on 25 years ago, roundabout “Rocky V.”

Was funny to see Ward in there

Try Crying fist. Good story, believable boxing(for the most part). Here's a sparring scene, fients, jab parry, pivots, head movement, leverage(albiet noodle armed) and one long shot and they actually hit eachother accidently a few times making it even sweeter. West take notes with your robotic bodybuilding bums. The final fight is the best(especially the first half) but no spoilers from me. It's a great movie if you want to watch a boxing film that isn't completely cringe worthy when it comes down to the actual boxing, there is atleast some semblance of skills displayed here by the protagonists. Not surprising... The Far Eastearn cinema has always been aces with fight choreography... Makes western action films look like playground bullies in a sandbox. I'll check the film out. On topic, Creed was cool. Some questionable moments of course.... The most cringeworthy moment of the film for me involved four wheelers and bikes.... I liked the movie though. Rocky as a wise coach was interesting to see and kept the movie worth a look

Same here. First half was brilliant, second half kinda meh. Jordan was excellent and Rosado, Ward, and Bellew were all pretty good. Fighting scenes were a bit over the top at times, but still the best I've seen in a boxing movie. Unlike Stallone, Jordan actually moved like a boxer. Try Crying fist.

It was solid, better than I expected. Stallone was great and so was Creed's gf. Jordan did well but I'd like to see him branch out more.

I honestly was not that impressed..it was ok

Creed was really good. Micheal B. Jordan should have been nominated for an Oscar for Fruitvale Station last year. He was awesome in that as well as The Wire and Friday Night Lights. Was a little worried when they announced this one but it turned out well. Stallone was awesome and was a logical next step for him that he would step into a Mickey type roll. The fight scenes were ok. There is a vine out there of Micheal B. Jordan really taking a hit that KO's him to make the scene look real. He took a hell of a shot.

I enjoyed the first half of the film. The second half went into the usual Rocky style cheese, but it's a Rocky film so you get what you expect. Same here.

Creed was fantastic. This was so much better than it had any right to be. Really the 7th Rocky movie with a familiar (downright copied) story and it was actally very good? Boxing scenes in a movie will always look kind of staged. I would say Southpaw may have had more realistic scenes, but overall Creed had better additions. Loved the way they showed the fighter's record as they were introduced. The one track scene with 2 rounds in the Rosado fight was great stuff. Stallone may win an Oscar for this. He was excellent. Jordan was great, even the girl in the movie had an interesting story. Creed 2 will definitely happen. And as for Southpaw, it could have been good if not for 2 things. The trailer showed us everything in the movie. Why the **** would you show his wife being killed and him losing his daughter in the trailer? Never seen a movie so easy to predict. I strongly disagree. Southpaw was more brutal with senseless violence but the boxing scenes were far better in Creed. Due mainly to real professional athletes and world class boxers instead of actors fighting actors. For example the guy who Jake's character is fighting at the end was TERRIBLE and hard for me to take serious any of his boxing scenes because he's just an acter on the TV show The Strain and was a rapper before that. Can't take him serious as a boxer. Where as all the boxers Creed faces are all real fighters and it shows in the ring. I saw both movies months before they were released at Early Screenings. So I was able to see the movies fresh before critics and fanfare. I was more excited going in to see Southpaw and had little expectations for Creed thinking it would be a terrible spinoff/sequel. I left the theater for Southpaw not upset but disappointed. It wasn't a terrible movie it was just OK. I left the theater amazed by Creed and couldn't wait to see it again. Creed did something that is very difficult to do it created a entirely new fresh fanbase but also pleased die hard Rocky fans. And more importantly pleased the boxing community. Many boxers and promoters were not pleased by Southpaw because how negative it portrayed the sport at best they were lukewarm to it. Yet I have seen nothing but praise from both boxers and promoters about Creed. The mit work is the best I've ever seen on film. Why? Because they got real life trainers and cutman to appear in the movie for Creed's corner. The HBO 24/7 looked real because you had 2 real boxers just playing themselves even got Liev Schreiber to do the voice over. Also Creed gave away the entire plot in their trailer as well. Creed going to philly to train with Rocky, Creed getting a title shot, ect. There were no surprises in Creed and it was very easy to predict as well. The difference is the story and characters were better developed. You felt a connection to the people in Creed and nobody cares if you know what's going to happen because you enjoy the journey even though you already know the destination. When you have a weak story and no connection to the characters then things like it being to easy predict become a concern in movies like Southpaw.
