Adonis Johnson (Michael B. Jordan) never knew his famous father, boxing champion Apollo Creed, who died before Adonis was born. However, boxing is in his blood, so he seeks out Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) and asks the retired champ to be his trainer. Rocky sees much of Apollo in Adonis, and agrees to mentor him, even as he battles an opponent deadlier than any in the ring. With Rocky's help, Adonis soon gets a title shot, but whether he has the true heart of a fighter remains to be seen.

Critics Consensus

Creed brings the Rocky franchise off the mat for a surprisingly effective seventh round that extends the boxer's saga in interesting new directions while staying true to its classic predecessors' roots.

Adonis and Rocky make one of the year's best cinematic pairings, their transition from strangers to acquaintances to partners to friends to something so much more absolutely exquisite.

Baltimore Magazine

It's a formula film, executed to near perfection. And it wields a secret weapon: our nostalgia for the original.

Rated: 3/4

Age of the Geek

Just when you were thinking: How long can Rocky keep fighting, this detour that introduces a new character, the illegitimate son of Apollo Creed, Adonis Creed, and brings fresh blood to stain the ring. A good transition for this boxing saga.

Rated: 3/5

Keith & the Movies

“Creed” has its clichés and its big mandatory crowd-pleasing moments, but even they are handled well by a confident filmmaker who is a true rising talent.

Next Best Picture

Ryan Coogler managed to bring everything that we expect from a Rocky movie but made it feel fresh and authentic. As far as boxing films go, Creed is a masterpiece on so many levels.

Rated: 9/10
