Disappointed
After having watched every Rocky & Creed movie up until this one, I knew where the stories were going. I knew the background, the players, the back stories & what was going to be the struggle(s). This storyline did not fall into those parameters & fell short of being the inspiration all the Rocky & Creed movies to this point always have been.
The choice to leave Rocky Balboa completely out of this story was a failure. He would've at least been there at the funeral. He was family after all. That Sly Stallone was not included nor consulted is downright sinful since any character with a Creed name began in his imagination from the first writing of Rocky.
Hollywood is so disrespectful in so many ways. So many seen to forget where they came from or where their stories came from originally. Michael B Jordan wouldn't have had an Adonis Creed to play much less a movie to direct had it not been for Sly Stallone to begin with. How quick he was to forget all that. Disappointing. I don't think I'll ever view him the same as an actor or man ever again.
