Review by christian_mcneal

I had no desire to watch this knowing they weren't going to have Stallone in it. But decided to give it a try now that it is on Prime Video. I wish i didn't, It was just awful! It takes a lot for me to give a bad review but this deserves it. The movie has absolutely no heart or soul, it tries too hard and not enough in all the wrong places and the last fight scene has a segment that is just absolutely horrendous. I will give Jonathon Majors and Michael B Jordan props for their acting but their performances aren't worth the time. I get that they wanted to modernize this and take it in a direction away from the Rocky story line but the way they did it was just awful and completely disrespectful to the source material. The reason we have all loved and watched the Rocky movies (and the first two Creed movies) was that they had heart and soul that punched you in the gut and made you feel yet lifted you up and made you want to shadowbox in the movie theater. This movie did none of that, it tried but it did not deliver. And i cannot get behind this movie when there is absolutely no mention of Rocky at all even though he is the one who got Creed to where he is in this film. They should have just made a boxing movie completely separate from the world that Stallone created and with no character names from his scripts and it would still be a dumpster fire but it would have at least earned an extra star from me.
