Very good connection with rocky movies and it's nice to see that the movie is more about Apollo Creed and his son than Rocky !!! but still nice to see what kind of friendship rocky and apollo had by helping his son !!!
A five star just because all these tools who have NOT seen the movie give it a bad review! Review only if you have seen it!
Great movie; a really nice connection to the rocky movies
Nobody cares about Adonis Creed's story -- the character is someone else's invention, not Stallone's, making this non-canon and a waste of time. Worst of all, it ruins the perfect ending ROCKY BALBOA brought to the series, and for what? A cheque with lots of numbers on it?? Sad to see Stallone's creation go out as nothing more than a supporting character in his own franchise.
There are some misconceptions in some of these reviews. It's not that Stallone "couldn't be bothered" to write this film himself. The film was the idea of writer/director Ryan Coogler, who grew up watching the Rocky movies with his father. He presented the idea to Stallone, who had some serious reservations about reprising his role as Rocky. I believe one article I read said it took Stallone a year to finally agree to the project. And yes, Stallone more of a supporting character, but the whole point was to do a story about Adonis Creed, not Rocky. It's a spin-off, not a direct Rocky sequel.
Looking forward to this film. Saw the trailer looks really good. Early reviews out already saying it's a great moving film. Always enjoy Sylvester Stallone films.
Looking forward to seeing this film. Lots of really good reviews for those who have seen it early already. And I really liked the trailer. Have grown up watching the Rocky's. This will be interesting as it delves into one of the earlier characters Apollo Creed. I'm looking forward to some good entertainment. Hard to come by these days. And I Know this kind of film always deliver. Always a pleasure to see Sylvester Stallone on screen. What a power house.
Should have called it Crud.
ROCKY BALBOA was the perfect ending. Zero stars for the completely unnecessary ROCKY VII. :(
