Anybody seen it??

It came out yesterday in the States, 25 November, but we in Holland have to wait till 21 January. That's crazy!! A whole 2 months!!!

I'm really looking forward to this, because I've been a huge Rocky fan all my life and the first reviews on IMDB and on Twitter are very promising..

Yeah IMDB too, 8,9 so far..

I never heard of the writer/director Ryan Coogler, but I saw he made one movie before called Fruitvale Station, also with Michael B. Jordan..

I saw it on Youtube and it was a very good film, based on a true story..

Got to hand it to Stallone.

He will never be the most talented or respected actor but he has got longevity as an actor, writer and director and has created one of the most enduring figures in pop culture.

69 and he still got it.


I invoke my right under the 5th amendment of the United States constitution and decline to answer the question.

I didn't see it, but the whole premise is just a big deja vu.

I thought the movie was great. We'll written. Good fight choreography. Had a lot of heart. Very deserving of its high RT rating and definitely worth checking out.

i heard the movie is a hit. rocky i believe is supposed to have cancer in the movie. one of the premises of rocky 5 was they were going to have rocky die which would have sucked.

I watched it tonight, good film. i guess im just a sucker for Rocky. I didn't realize the guy who played Creed was Wallace from The Wire and was also good to see Avon Barksdale make an appearance.. It was better than i expected and will be buying the DVD to go with my Rocky collection even though it's not an official Rocky film..

I liked it as well, and liked the direction Stallone took it in.

I'm so happy for Stallone that he won the golden globe for this film, he doesn't get the recognition he deserves as a actor and you can see from his winning speech how much he cares about Rocky..

Long live Rocky..

De Niro,

when you watch the film again, if you look carefully you can spot another Wire character in the film.

Since some people here actually saw this movie. Did the actor who played Creeds son actually deserved to be Oscar nominated as best actor?

Bean,

DeNiro called it, Wallace,Avon, AND one of the detectives from the Wire.


Foot,

All awards and nominations are subjective but no, Michael B. Jordan didn't deliver any kind of special portrayal or anything.


And
no spoiler or anything

but you've made the point before about Stallone's build and how it doesn't add up to being a boxer. You're right but on film, more muscular guy(upper body) looks more imposing.
In certain part of the Creed film....there's a real boxer in the ring...but because he doesn't have the "look"....he doesn't look imposing at all. Kind of hurts the scene....even though he's the real deal.

He was very good, maybe he was, no other actors stood out as much or less this year.

But then again, who is, who are these people who vote. No one knows.

I lost a lot of interest in the Oscar awards the last few years since several actors who I felt should have been considered, we're not.

Bill Murry in St. Vincent last year not getting in, what a joke.

Many others, it's all special interest bullshit.

Finally got to see it today, it premiered just last Thursday over here..

I absolutely loved it!!! The fight scenes were great, Stallone was great..

But most of all Michael B. Jordan was superb, if it would've been up to me he would've been nominated for an Oscar and so would've been Ryan Coogler.. I don't think it's necessarily a race thing, but more of an age thing, those decrepit old geezers at the academy still live in the '60's..

Yep, I get what you mean but it looked like Tony Bellew didn't take it seriously enough..

I mean during actual fights he doesn't have that high a fat percentage and you would've seen some abs on him at least LOL
