In my personal opinion, despite several people who have complained about it, I think Rocky's absence isn't a real detriment to this installment.

Obviously, this trilogy was born out of the character's franchise but getting him out of the way also took a burden off of this film.

This third installment won't change the paradigm of what has made the character famous, but it allows the story to stop being constrained by a dynamic that only developed between the two of them. Master and apprentice.
This has allowed Adonis' character development to encompass more of his family dynamic.

Certainly, Creed III is not exceptional, but its efforts to entertain the audience are genuine because it succeeds if that's what you're looking for. But it also leaves it clear that it's time to hang up the gloves.
I hate using this cliché phrase, but Stallone never knew how to do it and took his character to ridiculous levels.

I think it's time for Michael B. Jordan, who is also starting out as a director, to say, ''this is as far as we've come.''
With this work he shows that he can grow as a director because his film is superior to the second part. Nothing better than to close a cycle with the character as an actor and start a new one with other challenges.

I do recommend it because, as I said, its ambitions are focused on entertaining without looking for anything fancier. It is what it is.… Expand

Jordan stars as the titular Adonis Creed, son of late famed boxing legend Apollo Creed, and finds himself face to face with a childhood friend-turned-rival looking for a shot at the heavyweight title. Ever since the first 'Creed' film was released back in 2015 and thereby expanding upon the 'Rocky' franchise that humbly began all the way back in 1976 with Sylvester Stallone (who's noticeably absent for the very first time with this film), I've been rather interested to see where things would go from there for these characters and their descendants, and Jordan has always remained a formidable talent. This time however, he not only delivers another knockout performance on camera, but also handles offscreen duties rather deftly as the film's director. He carries both the muscle and the emotional heft needed for us to really root for him till the end. That being said, the film itself isn't quite without its shortcomings. For starters, the film uses an almost gratuitous amount of corny slow-mo shots of characters getting punched and pummeled around till we can see their skin ripple and glisten with an absurd amount of sweat. It becomes over-reliant on this almost to the point of becoming unintentionally humorous. Furthermore, it does contain a lot of the same predictable plot beats that the franchise has become known for (training montage included), and I also couldn't help but feel like the film felt incomplete without at least a 2 or so-minute cameo from Stallone as Rocky. It definitely wouldn't have weighed the film down at all in my humble opinion. On the plus side however, besides Jordan's stellar performance, Johnathan Majors (hot off of his villainous turn as Kang the Conqueror in 'Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania') once again delivers an all-too commanding and bravado performance here as the antagonistic rival. Tessa Thompson also continues to hold her own well as Adonis 's wife. The boxing sequences dazzle at times but also get a little too stylized and carried away at times for my liking. But overall, it's passable enough to feel enjoyable while also not quite feeling necessary to the franchise. Familiar and predictable plot beats weigh it down more often than I'd like, along with some corny and overly stylish slow motion and fight sequences, but Jordan's commitment to the character and legacy can't help but still be admirable.… Expand

Inconsistant story saved by the musical atmosphere of a Rocky movie. Yes, it's still a Rocky spinoff.
Despite the tragedy, I found it difficult to attach myself to the characters.
The preparation for the fight was shown too little. -1 pt forInconsistant story saved by the musical atmosphere of a Rocky movie. Yes, it's still a Rocky spinoff.

Not a bad movie and not a good one. Middle of the road all the way around. Missing Rocky to which imo helped the first two. Even if he had a small role it would’ve helped.

Alright movie but it got away from what made this movie great. No Stallone in this one either. Now he's retiring already. Kind of dumb. I want to see him box more maybe more fights.

Not bad, even though very predictable. What works, and what made it worth my time was that I felt EVERYONE was into the story. It did not feel hackey. Well directed. Well paced, and well acted. But man, is it ever predictable.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Visually...10/10 ! Everything else is below average ! I can see somebody who isn't familiar with the Rocky franchise liking it but as a long time fan of Rocky and also Creed , i can't rate this one in a positive way ! There is no...emotional speech anyehere in the movie ! The last fight is...weak ! As a fan i wanted to see a war in the last fight , like in any other movie ! I wanted to see those epic training scenes ! The training is there but...it's not how it was in creed 2 or the first one ! compared to Rocky , it's an empty shell ! I know this is all about Adonis now and the Creed Universe but...this isn't it ! The movie is...average the most ! And except the visual quality ( 10/10 ) the movie is ... like i said , average !… Expand
