This was a smart movie made by the director Ryan Coogler Fruitvale Station. I saw that movie first and didn't liked it becaue that movie was just for the ending. All the 2 hour moment was just meant to be there for the last kind of shocking ending. I spent my 2 hours for watching 2 minutes of the final shot and I thought that it was not fair. But one good thing about that movie was he seems to know really well about the dark side of ths street.
As seeing this movie, he recreated the junk street neighbor well again.
I cannot but to compare this movie with the ROCKY 5 since it's about Rocky and his pupil story. And I have to say I felt how bad the ROCKY 5 was as watching CREED. ROCKY 5 had no heart. And most of all it had no fighting sequence on the ring. And the struggle between Rocky and his pupil doesn't really interested the audience.
This movie is not like that. It's about Apolo Creed's son finding his own person just like once Rocky did. He dosen't even met Apolo when he was alive. Now when he was in the prison and his mother came to tell him that he will take care of him from then, he stayed with her and live a decent life. He was like 12 back then. When he was fully grown up and got this great job, he quite all of a sudden to become a fighter.
Now he came to Rocky for help.
He struggle to get what he wanted just like all the other boxers. But he made it at the end.
There is another story with this beautiful lady he met who is living in the same apartment. She is a singer and I would say she is the second lady who is Afro American that I truelt love. The other one is SADE, the singer.
The romance part with her enriches the movie and I liked it much.
She is very pretty and knows how to shine the screen.
There are four kinds of music in this movie.
One is a Rap music- kind of old style but not like silly Rocky 5 style.
Two is orchestra music to imitate the original Rocky movie.
Three is the electric rock music that Creed's girlfriend sings which is great.
Four some of the oldies which is very hillarious to hear.
It is good not to see Creed sustaining the champin by using montage like other Rocky series. Most of the boxing movies use that technique. This one was not. Actually the director does not use any of the cliche kind of technique at all.
The last championship happening in the Uk was quite exciting because There is no wide shot for fighting sequence. Most of the fighting scene, there are more then one wide shot plus reversal shot of the audience's reaction. There is none in this movie.
There are a lot of blood in the fighting sequence which is totally real. This is maybe for R rated movie.
When there is a moment when Creed is almost about to knock out there is a bunch of quick flash backs, that moment is beaufifully edited. Right after that he was recovered. That is the moment he got the turning point.
Just like Rocky's first fight back in 1979, for Creed, wiining and loosing deosn't mean anything for him. He just wanted to feel that he won from the bottom of his heart. And he did won. The score doesn't matter.
We all does. In life, if we feel that we won, all the other thing doesn't matter some time. because in deep inside, you are a true winner.

Triumphant way to continue the legacy!
I have been a Rocky fan since I was a little kid and this film does not disappoint. Now, I am a Creed fan, it has drama, action, excellent boxing sequences, a good story, an awesome soundtrack, great character development but above all, it has heart. I love watching Rocky becoming Mick and teaching young Adonis that the biggest opponent is the one you see in the mirror everyday, and then Adonis reminding Rocky the same. I am so glad that this film came out and will introduce the Rocky Universe and its legacy to a whole new generation 40 years after the original. Rocky for me has and always will be the embodiment of heart, will, determination, and the unstoppable human spirit. Now we get to see how he passes the torch to a new generation of Rockies out there, the underdogs, the little guys, the underrated, the fighters. "One step at a time, one punch at a time, one round at a time!"
