I was down for ‘Creed III’ from the get-go.

Unlike some that had reservations about a Rocky property that’s ‘sans Sylvester Stallone’, I found myself intrigued with a film that was allowed to grow from the initial concept that spawned the franchise, a full forty-seven years ago. In other words, Rocky’s story has been told many times before, now it’s Creed’s moment to shine.

The fight scenes are all on-point, eliciting that intense feeling of watching a ‘Rocky’ movie - hyper-realism is utilized to make the boxing visceral and immersive, an essential ingredient and hallmark of the series.
