I do have to say I
Seperately,
did have a bit of a laugh at the ESPN segment having Ronda Rousey dominating on the rundown. Lol.
I also loved the final fight, where it had a part with all of the blood and sweat landing on the mat. That was disgustingly awesome.

I seriously had no idea this was part of the Rocky franchise. The commercials never mention it.

I LOVED when they did that in Balboa. The final fight being HBO PPV style was incredible.
The damn trailer doesn't even spell it out until halfway through the damn thing, when Donny storms into Rocky's restaurant like an asshole
Punchy revealed Rock's location.

No better time than the present.
I ain't that guy. I'm terrible at OTs. And I ain't got no internet at home.
And we could totally make this the OT. Mad Max went the same way!

When Rocky gave him that speech right after and told him he loved em...I cried, Lee. Then the fuckin' Rocky music started. Then he knocked homeboy down and told his mom he loved him and said he was proud to be a Creed and then he and Rocky walked up those fuckin steps and oh my GAWD it was cathartic.

Did anyone else think the music by the neighbor girl was very good? Is there anywhere I can go find it?

This shit BROKE me.
Heavy Creed Spoilers
Seeing Donny break like that was so damn sad. He really didn't have a damn thing to prove. Like in Rocky I, even squaring off with the champ was more than enough to earn respect, especially when Ricky KNOCKED HIM THE FUCK OUT. But nah. He has a very similar drive to Rocky. Rocky didn't want to just be a bum from Philly. Donny didn't want to just be a mistake.
Rocky is Micky now. Rocky loves you, now get up.

Watched it during this morning's first showing, loved it!
Goddamn Rocky always has to tug at my heart strings one minute then get me absolutely pumped the next
Might do a rewatch of the series and catch it in theaters again during the holidays. Definitely thinking of doing a Rocky costume for Halloween now hahaha

I mean,
Apollo Creed in the first movie is mostly just a plot device and not a character.
Underwhelming. The actual fight choreography is pretty bad on a level I haven't seen before in a boxing movie. Constant flurries of telegraphed blows that looks more like a bad kung fu movie than a boxing movie. Has none of the charm in fights from the previous Rocky films or a semi-realistic depiction either. It's so strange. Jordan and Stallone are good though, good chemistry.

Great, now I want to watch Rocky 3 again.
I think you need to re-read that. I'm saying it doesn't have the charm of Rocky fights nor does it go the other direction towards more realistic boxing.

I thought the boxing in this movie was some of the best in the Rocky series.

Going to see this in 4 hours. As someone who saw Rocky Balboa 5 times in the theater, and cried every time, I am looking forward to this.
That's...not a spoiler. I'm asking about the possibility of another movie with Michael B. Jordan that doesn't feature Stallone.

That wasn't a spoiler. What are you doing?

I mean, they made Rocky films without Micky.

I think the question might've made him think something happens to Rocky.
Bobby Roberts

What?
No. No to all of that.
Creed is a Creed movie with Rocky in it.
Will people want to see a Creed movie without Rocky in it?
You don't even have to have seen the movie to ask that question. It's certainly not hinting at any of the film's actual content, even if you've described the thought process that led you to believe it did. You're correct in that this tortured line of thought wasn't rocket science. It also doesn't really make any sense, either.

That's what I was thinking!
