Being one of my favorite film franchises of all-time, I've seen all the Rocky movies multiple times and figured I'd seen/heard most of the behind-the-scenes stuff too. Well, that was until I sat down to watch "From Rocky To Creed", which recaps the films in exciting fashion and shows new interviews with such figures as Stallone, Carl Weathers, Ryan Coogler, Michael B. Jordan, and even Dolph Lindgren!
Produced during the runup to the recent "Creed" film, this documentary succeeds on two major levels:
First, it is probably the best summation of the Rocky movies themselves that I have ever seen. Jordan provides great narration, while who better to pontificate on the films than Stallone himself, along with some of his high-profile co-stars.
The doc also provides some great behind-the-scenes moments as Stallone, Coogler, and Jordan sit down at certain points and reminisce over the filming of "Creed". It's so interesting to see how the Rocky character is now being passed on to another generation through this collaboration.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed "From Rocky To Creed". Whether you've seen the movies a bajillion times (like myself) or are a bit fuzzy on the details and need a recap, this doc will suit both purposes.
