Creed III – Movie Review: Hey there! Let’s talk about Creed 3. I just watched Michael B Jordan’s directorial debut where he also starred as Adonis Creed. The movie follows Creed as he excels in both his career and family life until his childhood friend and former boxing prodigy, Damien (played by Jonathan Majors), resurfaces from prison eager to prove himself in the ring. This leads to a face-off between the two friends, which forms the movie’s central plot.
So, what’s the genre of this movie? Is it a drama, thriller, comedy, or something else? Well, it’s a sports drama, but it has a sprinkle of action and a hint of anime-inspired fighting sequences. Yes, you read that right, anime-inspired. Apparently, Michael B Jordan is an anime fan, and it’s evident in some of the fight scenes. I mean, the movie starts with a Naruto poster on Adonis’s wall.
Now, let’s talk about the characters. Adonis Creed and Damien are the main characters, and they are both well-developed, likable, and relatable. The movie’s villain, Damien, is a revelation, and Jonathan Majors portrays the character brilliantly. His character is an excellent opponent for Creed, given their murky past and troubled relationship.
The acting in this movie is top-notch. Michael B Jordan shines as both the director and the lead actor. But, the standout performance has to be Jonathan Majors as Damien. The man is a force to be reckoned with on screen.
The cinematography is excellent, and the shots are well-composed and aesthetically pleasing. The movie’s soundtrack is perfect and enhances the mood of the scenes. The pace of the movie is just right, and it keeps you engaged throughout.
The movie explores several themes, including the importance of family, redemption, and second chances. The themes are relevant and thought-provoking, and they add depth to the movie.
So, who would enjoy this movie? Would it appeal to a broad audience or a niche one? Well, if you’re a fan of sports dramas, you’ll enjoy this movie. If you’re a Rocky fan, you’ll love it. And if you’re an anime fan, you’ll appreciate some of the fight scenes. Overall, I think this movie would appeal to a broad audience.
Now, for my overall evaluation of the movie. I think Creed 3 is a well-made movie, especially for a first-time director like Michael B Jordan. The fight scenes are fantastic, and the movie’s themes add depth to the story. The movie is also heartfelt, especially in the scenes between Adonis and his young daughter. However, I can’t help but feel disappointed that Sylvester Stallone isn’t in the movie. But, I understand that there are behind-the-scenes issues that I don’t want to get into.
So, is Creed 3 worth watching? Yes, it definitely is. It’s a great addition to the Rocky franchise, and it stands on its own as a sports drama. It has everything you’d want from a movie – great acting, fantastic fight scenes, and a compelling story. So, what are you waiting for? Grab some popcorn and enjoy the movie!
