Creed movie thread

[_original_]

It has very few votes so far so not enough to know how good it is, but if 94% on Rotten Tomatoes, and 8.9 on IMDB is a good indicator from the few hundred votes, then it looks promising. The Rotten Tomatoes critis, 85 of them, totaled to a 94%. Not sure how that works exactly, like they saw the movie already or what, but that sounds like an excellent movie if that rating is any indication.

Are those fans or actual movie critics? If it is then that is really good. I know its IMDB rating can go down with more voters but are those Rotten Tomatoes votes concrete? Because if it is, that is a really high rating. Possibly the best rating a boxing movie ever got on RT. Rocky is at 93% on RT.

Yeah Kev, it's the critics' score, they get an early viewing. I'm surprised the score is so high but l'm glad we get a great boxing film.

It's staged but the Rosado fight is possibly the best fight in the movie. It's completely done in one take. Technically, it's freaking amazing.

Creed Movie:

The long-awaited United Kingdom release of Ryan Coogler’s “Creed” is finally upon us. “Creed” opens in UK cinemas on Friday, 15 January, some seven weeks after the film’s US release. So far, the seventh Rocky film in the franchise has earned $103 million at the box office and has high hopes to take in even more once it debuts overseas.

Ok I was wondering if the fight scenes where realistic because I'm half way through watching Southpaw and that really hurt the movie ; looked really staged.Thanks.

What? There are far fetched aspects of Southpaw, but the training and fight scenes were the most realistic I have seen in any film.

Have you ever been to a gym? My goodness.

Aside from Whitakers oscar worthy performance, the best thing about that movie was the freaking fight scenes...

I watched this movie last week. I'd rank it:

1. Rocky 1
2. Rocky 2
3. Creed
4. Rocky 3
5. Rocky 4

It's very similar to Rocky 1. An underdog gets a shot at the title. The only thing I didn't like about the movie was the training montage and Balboa going bald.

I have to say it bodies Rocky, The Raging Bull, Cinderella man, and everything else by a long shot.

You bodied yourself.

It was way better then southpaw which took every negative sterotype in boxing and wrapped it into one movie. Creed story was better and you actually feel connected to the characters. And having all real world class boxers share the ring with Michael B Jordan's character gives this movie more creditablity. Creed >> Southpaw.
