Creed (2015)
Directed by Ryan
Coogler this spin off stars Michael B. Jordan, Sylvester Stallone and
Tessa Thompson. The illegitimate son of Apollo Creed appeals to Rock
Balboa to train him as a fighter.
Bringing nothing new
to the franchise or genre I found this spin off to be a
disappointingly close re-tread to the original Rocky film. While this
film is well made it is just all far too familiar and unoriginal.
There are decent performances from the cast but Stallone having been
Oscar nominated for this film is a surprise to me.
3/5
