Storyline
Adonis Johnson is the son of the
famous boxing champion Apollo Creed, who died in a boxing match in Rocky IV (1985).
Adonis wasn't born until after his father's death and wants to follow his
fathers footsteps in boxing. He seeks a mentor who is the former heavyweight
boxing champion and former friend of Apollo Creed, the retired Rocky Balboa.
Rocky eventually agrees to mentor Adonis. With Rocky's help they hope to get a
title job to face even deadlier opponents than his father. But whether he is a
true fighter remains to be seen.... Written by Blake Ordonez
Movie Reviews
As a boxing movie Creed packs a
heavyweight punch.
Sylvester Stallone (as the film's
producer) has covered a lot of miles with his Rocky legend, most recently with
his 2006 Rocky Balboa. As such I had thought there was little milk left in the
cash cow, but "Creed" proves me wrong. This time, with Stallone's
advancing years, he wisely doesn't stretch credibility by having Rocky Balboa
as the center of the pugilism, but hands the baton to young contender Adonis
("Donnie") Creed (Michael B Jordan). Adonis is the illegitimate son
of Apollo Creed, Rocky's protagonist and later close friend in the first four
Rocky films.
Donnie is a kid from the wrong side
of the tracks with a big chip on his shoulder and a reputation for finding
trouble with his fists. Brought back from the brink by Apollo's wife (a
touching performance by Phylicia Rashad) Donnie can't escape his family legacy
and seeks Balboa's help to make it in the ring, using his own adopted name.
Balboa's help leads to a number of 'traditionally' brutal Rocky-style
encounters in the ring.
I must admit I don't normally 'go'
for boxing films like this, but this is extremely well done. All of the boxing
training is gritty and believable and the actual bouts, particularly the
classic finale, is suitably thrilling and a technical masterpiece of
camera-work (hats off to cinematographer Maryse Alberti, who also filmed
"The Wrestler" so is no stranger to the ring).
A real surprise is just how good
Stallone is in the role. There are scenes where Stallone really has to act –
particularly an emotional locker-room scene when Rocky faces up to his own
personal crisis – and any jokes about Sylvester "Expendables"
Stallone's acting abilities are forgotten. Michael B Jordan is also a great
find and a name to watch. He has to cover a wide range during the film and
succeeds admirably.
Tessa Thompson, impressive in last
year's "Selma", makes a similarly positive impression here playing
the love interest in the form of songstress Bianca, with a difficult future ahead
of her.
"Creed" is a love letter to
the old Rocky films, and – with this quality, and likely success – the start of
a whole new generation of films seems probable. The respect it shows to the
originals is characterized by a moving tribute to the classic 'Philadelphia
steps' scene that brings a genuine lump to the throat. That being said, the
film is a lot more 'street' for a new generation, with a soundtrack (by Swedish
composer Ludwig Göransson) that mixes rap and hip-hop with more classic orchestral
elements. Without outright plagiarism of Bill Conti's classic score, Göransson
subtly weaves in some of Conti's themes, notably Adrian's theme, as well as
coming up with his own "Fly Now"- equivalent musical high-point.
Impressive direction is by Ryan Cooglar
in only his second feature film (after Fruitvale Station, also with Michael B
Jordan). Cooglar also wrote the story and co-wrote the script. Without any
spoilers, the story is delightfully 'un-Hollywood" by being unpredictable
in where it goes. However, an area for criticism is that it took a few 'easy'
short-cuts in places: a particular 'change of heart' in the film is way to glib
and quick.
Finally, i would love to watch this
film in a cinema in Liverpool, when the "hallowed turf" for a bout is
revealed as being Everton's ground, Goodison Park….! Generations of Liverpool
FC fans will be turning in their graves and I predict that cinemas in the city
could become scenes of the worst hand to hand combat since the finale of
Kingsman!
