Rocky was a great series though. Creed followed a successful entry, plus he had Stallone to help carry the film.

This is the MCU, where any hint of risk or creativity is prohibited. Ted Cruz would probably end up with the same Black Panther movie as Coogler.

The same MCU that allowed a director make a movie revolve around a mixtape?

It's actually a pretty great series. Rocky 1, 2, 6 and Creed are all legitimately good to great films. Rocky 3 and 4 are serviceable, with the latter being an 80's icon. Rocky 5 is the only irredeemable mess in the series.

OK you can not like the MCU movies but to say that creativity is prohibited when one of the most successful and riskiest things they've done was make a movie out of a comic no one ever heard of is ridiculous. Like a said you can not like Guardians of the Galaxy but to say it didn't take balls to try to make something so different then anything they've made at that point is silly.

Nah, it isn't. Rocky's a legitimately great movie. Rocky II is a mostly-boring remake that exists solely to have Rock win at the end. Rocky III essentially gave birth to the '80s movie (for all the good AND bad that entails), while ruining Rocky's character and being more than a little racist about it along the way, Rocky IV is an incomprehensible turd of a film, and Rocky V is even WORSE than that. Balboa is good, but primarily for its dual purpose as a back-to-basics Rocky film and it essentially being therapy for Stallone.

So Coogler being announced to do a continuation of a series that was essentially ended with an old man's well-recieved and admirable public therapy session was seen as "a waste" and "a bad idea."

And then he turned out a movie that stands right next to Rocky, if not slighly surpasses it.

Clubber Lang was Rocky if he was black and wasn't such a passive bitch. TAKE WHAT YOU WANT, LANG

Also, I thought Force Awakens was garbage and the safest blockbuster in the history of the world. Rocky II was a goddamn remake, straight up. It was good, but fucking hell.

But what are your thoughts on Action Jackson? I think it is underrated and doesn't get the love it deserves.

Coach raped a corpse, I have never been right since that scene

Deep down, you know it was a great series... The original is fantastic. I agree and have said before that the sequel is a total retread but another classic that ultimately works in giving more of the same but another side of Apollo. 3 and 4 flipped the script into an equally yet completely different kind of great, something that's probably never been done before. To birth the '80's movie is quite an achievement. Rocky V is Rocky V (I still like it), and Balboa brought the series back to its roots (I never really got into this one.)

Creed did sound like a bad idea. It still sounds like a bad idea to me as I haven't seen it yet and wasn't really feeling Balboa. But the Rocky series is still a great base for potential, particularly the blueprint itself. It's still something Coogler got to write and direct with Sly's full blessing and support both on and off screen, which had to be a huge boost. The film's success or failure was greatly up to Coogler. That wouldn't be the case with Marvel.

Is this the "concern trolling" you talked about awhile back?

The really sad thing is you've convinced me you actually believe this kind of delusional horse shit.

Lol this guy and his constant trolling in MCU threads.
 
Great to hear, he needs more exposure. He's a good up and coming director, if he can pull this off, he's set.


BP gonna take the Marvel universe by storm. All your Favs are now pointless

I didn't realise he was so young. To come out with your first features at that high of a quality? That's some impressive stuff.

Yeah, it happens from time to time. Orson Welles 26 when he made Citizen Kane. John Singleton was 23 when he made Boyz in the Hood. F. Gary Gray made Friday when he was 24.

Pretty amazing stuff. Makes you feel bad for being the same age he was when he directed Fruitvale Station....
 
Pleased to see ya man BronsonLee straight up jacked a BP thread and made it about CREED.

💖💖💖

Reminds me of how NBA Age used to do that all the time back in the day.

<sniff>

Nah, if I was concern trolling i'd feint some excitement for the MCU every now again.

Movie with a talking raccoon made 775 million dollars.

No risk.

Talking animals!

In a MOVIE!

WHO WOULD BELIEVE IT




I do agree with your intent there, at least: I don't think it's fair at all to say that "any hint of risk or creativity" is prohibited. There's a fair amount of both on display. But going to "a talking raccoon" as evidence of it has never made sense.

You are to fun what Perlnutter is to budgets.

fun and dumb aren't always the same things, Slay. I know you read pretty much nothing but bad erotic fiction, superhero comics, and messageboard posts so the two concepts are super-easy to confuse, but I didn't squash anyone's "Fun" there.

you'd think someone who watches as much Double Toasted as you do would figure out how to toss off a competent one liner eventually. Like, by accident, even.

I thought we were cool, Going to get some of that comic book movie rumor money together?

And for your info I haven't read an Anita Blake novel in years.
 
That's awesome. It just sucks that he may not get a chance to do Creed 2 now. If he can't direct Creed 2, I hope he can at least produce/co-write it.
