Creed - 金牌拳手



Creed (金牌拳手) is an 2015 film. The movie stars Michael B. Jordan, Sylvester Stallone, and Tessa Thompson. The movie continues in the same universe as the Rocky movies. Creed is a namesake of Apollo.

MBJ plays Adonis "Donnie" Johnson, the son of Apollo Creed. Adonis doesn't want to live in the shadow of his father's legacy and starts to train himself in boxing while living another life. When he finally comes clean, he wants to fight the best. But the path there isn't so easy being born with a silver spoon. Creed finds himself back in Philly and reconnects with Rocky. Rocky is now running a restaurant. But the two bond and start a relationship that leads to getting to the belt. Will Creed make it?

Creed take many elements of the first two Rocky films and brings them to a the modern era. Its good to see MBJ in this role before his break out in Black Panther. Sly has been busy post action hero days and he slips back into form with this movie.

If you're a fan of the Rocky movies, this movie does a good job of handing the baton to Creed and keeping the legacy of Rocky intact.
