The drama has some low moments, but visually it's the more interesting film in the saga. Jonathan Majors is imposing physically.Fight scenes are awesome!

It has its lows and its over-the-top entries but for the most part, this series has been mostly hits than misses. Creed was a spinoff and I never expected to enjoy it so immensely. I loved Creed 1 and Creed 2 which is why I was hoping for a hat trick with Creed 3. There was some worry as this is the first entry without Rocky. it was also Michael B. Jordan's directorial debut with him starring as Creed and directing. So does it succeed or is this a miss?

Firstly, Michael did a great job in his directorial debut. He pushes the Creed movies out of Rocky's shadow and gives it more grit. The fights feel more visceral and flashy with some clear anime-inspired influence. He uses a lot of slow-mo which leads to some nice-looking shots. I also think the boxing intro and montage were also really well shot as well. He also does something interesting in the final fight that involves silence which gave it a new feel. The soundtrack was awesome and the cinematography is great. He also gives darker qualities to the story with the backstory and personal connection with the antagonist Damian (Jonathan Majors). On that note, Jonathan Majors is terrific as the antagonist. I love his performance, with the subtle awkwardness and slightly pained expression in the first half. Then in the second half, we get to see Jonathan give an arrogant, menacing performance when he goes full bad guy. I also enjoyed how sympathetic he is as a character as well. You understand why Adonis would help him. Additionally, Michael continues to give a great performance as Adonis Creed with the amount of emotional moments in this film. There is great chemistry between Michael and Jonathan which made the friendship between their characters feel believable. Tessa returns as Bianca and she is good in her small role in this film as well. However, I do have some issues with this film. The first half focuses on building up the characters and eventual conflict which is fine. The second half is incredibly rushed though with clearly many cuts made towards it. We don't get a great sense of how much time passed so it is baffling to suddenly see Damian successful so quickly. It would've helped to have seen Damian in more fights. We could have seen him growing more and more successful while also seeing how much of a threat he is. Unfortunately, this movie doesn't have a lot of boxing fights and enough build-up in the second half. It is also weird how quickly Damian's personality changes. Another issue is the lack of inner conflict for Adonis. We see him feeling guilty about what happened to Damian but that's mostly it. For example, we don't see his doubt about retiring or concern about his daughter and wife. On that note, there is a daughter subplot introduced in this film that went nowhere. Felt very pointless.

Overall, Creed III is another good entry in this franchise. It's an impressive directorial debut from Michael and I look forward to future work from him, Creed or otherwise. Even without Rocky, this franchise seems to be doing well standing on its own feet. I'm not sure what direction Creed 4 can go in but if it is of a similar quality to previous entries, then I will 100% be there to watch!… Expand

His ideas gave such fresh air to the saga and hopefully to the industry. Each fight scenes is carefully filmed to make it as good and interesting as possible. I don't want to spoil anything (yes, these fights can be spoiled) but as non anime watcher I appreciate how MBJ used the references to present feelings, tension and pace what together are building unforgettable experience. A next great part of his directing debut is playing with colors. I think all scenes are nice for our eyes, it's warm or cold - perfectly combined with the story what is happening during particular scenes. The movie is filmed with IMAX cameras so every sweat drop is so crystal (lol).
The story is pretty decent. It's very clear and understandable. We can root for the protagonist same as for the antagonist. Adonis Creed is not only a champ but also a father and a husband which is a really sweet part of this movie I love. Each character is important and adds necessary values to the story. To be honest, I would love to see more of them, that's why I give it 8/10. Definitely, the daughter should have got one more scene.
I can't wait to see more work of Michael B. Jordan as director… Expand

Not as good as the 1st. To be fair, nothing was gonna live up to the first. The 1st Creed was fresh and a new take, everything else was gonna be more predictable because it had to be.

That being said, this is definitely better than the 2nd one. They do a much better job of fleshing out the dynamic. The biggest issue I had with Creed 2 was I felt like the Drago story left much to be desired. Damian and Adonis' dynamic is much more at the forefront. I do feel like the final 1/4 of the movie was a bit rushed as there was plenty of time give more to inside the mind of Donny as well as the traditional training montage was the weakest in the series.

That being said this is a must see for any Rocky/Creed fan as Jordan delivers an above average cinema spectle for his directoral debut.… Expand

It’s obviously formulaic, but Jordan’s directorial debut has some flair and promise, and Majors continues to shine. Great (conclusion?) to the trilogy, though Rocky was missed a bit.

The best movie I've see this year. Not sure it's a 10, but close enough. The movie had good, acting, direction, characters that made me care about them, and great fighting scenes.

The Rocky connection is there, but what this movie does well is make it clear that Creed is in it's own lane now. It does it well without overly trying to force us to forget that Rocky brought us to this point.… Expand

If you weren't on the train of " This is Jonathan Majors year" you surely will after watching this movie. The entire cast puts up an A-tier performance that takes the emotional depth of this movie to its heights. Sylvester Stallone as Rocky Balboa was surely missed, but this film does more than enough to stand on its own. I had a really great time in the theatre with this film, can't wait to see what more Michael B. Jordan has to offer behind the camera in the future.… Expand
