Creed III (2023)
Solid, but not a Rocky movie
4 March 2023 - 10 out of 19 users found this review helpful.
For better and for worse, this is 100% a Creed movie. Michael B Jordan's direction loses me in some places with its claustrophobic shots, and the Rocky sentimentality is completely gone from the music to the storyline to the location. Part of me wishes they had stuck to some of what made the originals so great, but the other part understands that in order to blaze a new path, some tough decisions needed to be made. That said, it's a fun boxing movie with some compelling fight scenes and good performances. The backstory was well crafted. It did lack a little of the weight that some of the others had but I place that squarely on the filmmaker. Good effort and fun time at the movies but definitely the third best Creed film so far.
