Creed Review

This film is just SO good. I hate boxing, and I loved it. The acting is superb all around. And the camera work in the ring blew me away!

Since it's a boxing film, you know it's going to follow certain formulas, but the ways the script makes it slightly different and surprising were impressive.

Rocky is such a part of my childhood and gives me such nostalgia. This hit many of those beats for me, too. Just great to see Stallone getting to play such a meaty role again -- and he acted some of the best I've ever seen.

Michael B. Jordan was exceptional. I think Ava Duvernay's tweet sums up for me how great this role and script were: "CREED centers a young black man, allowing him to be vain, humble, strong, weak, sexy, goofy. To fight. To cry.
