OT: Creed

[esplanade91]

What a fantastic movie. I was initially reluctant to see another Rocky film, but after all the positive buzz I caved. So good.

 

[FreeDawg]

Did it take you higher?**

 

[mcdawg22]

Yeah I was reluctant too,

But I welcomed it with arms wide open.

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

Everyone I know that have seen it say it's really good.

 

[LandArchDawg]

Heh! +1.

Everyone I know that have seen it say it's really good.

It is really good, but it has this strange effect causing lame jokes.

 

[aTotal360]

What's this life for if we can't make lame jokes?

 

[BulldogBlitz]

Must be serious all the time. Relentless effort.

 

[xxxWalkTheDawg]

No kiddin. If I can't be funny, then I'm practically in my own prison.

Went in not expecting much...

...left hoping they make another one. What a great movie. When you see it don't miss the single long take during the middle fight. It's very effective.

One of my 5 favorite movies this year.

 

[esplanade91]

They've already got everyone under contract for II and III.

They had so many subplots in this one, they could really go anywhere with it.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Stapp it, already

 

[The Peeper]

Relentless Strain!

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

In Creed IV, he'll fight the top ISIS boxer.

What a fantastic movie. I was initially reluctant to see another Rocky film, but after all the positive buzz I caved. So good.

If you like Bill Simmons and his podcasts here is an interview with Michael B. Jordan and MBJ's perspective on Creed and a few other topics.

HBO's Bill Simmons talks to 'Creed' star Michael B. Jordan about his bond with Carl Weathers (4:00 mark), the 'Rocky' franchise (7:00), Stallone's Oscar-worthy performance (13:00), Cotto-Canelo ringside reactions (21:00), mimicking top flight acting talents (28:00), 'The Wire' vs. 'Friday Night Lights' (34:00), Ryan Coogler's creative touch on 'Creed' (44:00), future projects (54:00) and a modern Rom-Com starring alongside Jennifer Lawrence (1:04:00).

[FreeDawg]

Well done

 

[horshack.sixpack]

Do you think we win the Belk bowl if you keep joking around like this?***

 

[Palos verdes]

Solid movie. Fighting scenes are much more realistic than in any boxing movie I've ever seen. Great script, good acting job by Stallone- his best ever. Good reviews too.
