Yeah, the trailer looked like a Lifetime movie. It was cool seeing Rocky towards the end. But not cool enough. Sly should forget about this fluff and focus on bringing us a badass Expendables 4. No more PG13 crap.
The first one was an excellent little underdog story.
Rocky overcame the odds and made something of himself.
A closed-circle plot...other than $$$ considerations, there was never any need to extend it.
Yeah, Clubber was awesome. One comic joked that Sly made a mistake and literally started acting. His performance (particularly) in the first installment is good; I'm not talking about the boxing, mind you.
CREED was an excellent movie. I went in a little skeptical with all of the hype, but went away thinking, wow this was really a great movie. Definitely the most realistic movie boxing I can think of. Anything about fighting is technical. Don't want to spoil much, but they actually did whole fight in what at least looked like one take. If that wasn't one take, that was some serious editing. Just incredible and really puts you into the match. There was great chemistry between the actors as well, whether main characters or secondary. I am surprised how much I was swept into it by the end.
Just saw it and loved it. It stakes out it's own territory, is funny, touching great fight and training montages and Stallone is actually very, very good. Not being the director and/or writer lets him get deeper into the character. Very understated performance.
Agree with the above poster. I saw it over Thanksgiving weekend with a big group of friends/family and everyone liked it. A definite crowd pleaser in the way the original was, but at the same time a very fresh take. The fight scenes are surprisingly brutal, the story was thrilling and touching (and not in a lame way), and good performances from the stars. Well worth a watch.
