Creed
7/10
I
finally got around to watching the new Creed film starring Michael B.
Johnson and Sylvester Stallone. I was slightly hesitant to watch
this. There has been six previous Rocky movies and I've enjoyed five
of them. We don't talk about Rocky V. With this one I was expecting a
bootleg style reboot but I was wrong. This movie blended perfectly
into the previous films and I would actually like to see some more of
these. The story is pretty simple the way it should be.
Jordan
plays Adonis “Donnie” Johnson. He lives in a juvenile center when
a lady played by Phylicia Rashad that slept with Apollo Creed shows
up and takes him into her home. He is a bad ass kid which fast
forwards to him quitting his job so that he can learn to be a better
fighter. His mother does not want him doing it explaining to him how
she had to wipe his dads ass because he was so hurt from boxing. Oh,
and he died in the ring. That happened. He ends up getting Rocky to
help him train after much convincing. Bring on the training montage!
