 Creed. You see this guy right here? He's becoming one of my favorite actors in Hollywood. My name is Brandon Keith Avery and this is just my opinion. Now you wouldn't be alone if you were tired of Rocky movies and just didn't want another movie in that franchise. But I'm glad to say that this is not a Rocky sequel. It is a Rocky spinoff in that same universe and I'm glad to say that it stands on its own. Now the director of this film is Ryan Cugler and if you weren't aware he teamed up with Michael B. Jordan in Fruitville Station that came out a few years ago and that role was fantastic. And like I said Michael B. Jordan is becoming one of my favorite actors in Hollywood and he's really on his way to the top. I loved him in Chronicle. I loved him in Fruitville Station and I loved him in Creed. Now when this film was first advertised I knew it was gonna be great. I was hyped. I couldn't wait to get into the theater to see it. Now I'll go ahead and let you guys know early this movie is fantastic and I loved it. Michael B. Jordan knocked this role out of the park. I mean he really was able to portray a real-world boxer in this film and I ate every second of it. And the great thing about his character is he started from the bottom and he's on his way to the top and he really has to fight to get there. He's humble but at the same time cocky but he has a reason to do it. He has this dark hole that he's trying to feel and he has legitimate reason for trying to feel that hole. And that's just what makes his character so great. His relationship with Rocky or his relationship with everybody in the film was spectacular. I mean I really did love their relationship. There was something special you can really tell that they cared about each other and they really loved each other and they really had each other's back. This little pretty lady right here Ms. Tessa Thompson she did a great job as well. If you didn't know she was in Selma and also dear white people. I really wasn't a fan of the latter but she did a great job in this role and her and Adonis Johnson Michael B. Jordan they had a lot of chemistry on screen. I really bought their relationship. They seemed like a real couple outside of the film and like in the real world. On top of that was great is when the film starts off it just shoots off like a rocket and it doesn't slow down for a while. Surprisingly enough this movie is also funny too. It didn't try to make a bunch of jokes but it had a lot of great funny moments that were pure and genuine and it just kind of made you feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside while making you laugh. And the best part about the film of course is the acting in the boxing. Now I know this term gets thrown around a bunch of times and it's over saturated but when the first time he was in the ring having a real fight I mean seriously it was edge of your seat entertainment. I mean I was just like there and you're like this eating it all up. I mean this was the best scene in the entire movie to me. When he's in that ring you're in the ring with them literally. What they're doing with the camera was spectacular. I mean I don't know how they did it if it was one whole continuous shot or movie magic but I was like man. Even towards the end of the film it flows nearly smoothly through the middle. Has a great ending. Has a great climax. It has a great payoff. And it's funny I won't spoil it here but towards the end it reminds you that this is a rocky movie. Now this film is nearly perfect but it isn't. I love just about everything about it but there are some few things that I had a gripe about. Now earlier I talked about Tessa Thompson her name is Bianca and the relationship that she had with Donis Johnson might will be joined. They had great chemistry on screen but my complaint about their relationship is their initial meet-up. I don't know if I can necessarily buy it the way it played out. I'm just kind of thinking of myself okay in the real world if a man and a woman were meeting that way would it really go down like that. It just kind of seemed too perfect and just set up for a movie. Other than that there was a few scenes that were great but they kind of had a tough time transitioning over to the next scene. And also from the beginning of this film the film took off like a rocket like I said and just think of it like this. I mean say for instance I mean you're on a speed bike and you just shoot down the highway going 80 to 120 150 miles an hour having a good time but then all of a sudden you just slow down and you sit back on a chopper. I mean choppers are fine and you can sit back and enjoy the ride and let the breeze and wind hit your face but it's just such an abrupt change from the speed bike that you was on. I mean I really did love this film it had a fantastic beginning had a smooth great middle and a fantastic end. I mean when I was in the theater I was excited I was hyped I was engaged I was cheering Adonis Johnson on as he was trying to take on the mantle of his father it really felt like I was in the boxing arena witnessing this fantastic boxing match. If I had to give this movie a rating out of a 1 out of 10 man this is kind of hard but I'm gonna give it an 8.75 out of 10. That's just my opinion for the new Cree movie starring Michael B. Jordan. Have you seen it yet? Do you want to see it? Have I turned you off? Have I turned you on? Do you agree with me or do you disagree with me?
