Creed
SCORE: 46
Family Friendly Gaming purchased Creed recently for this review. This boxing movie takes the franchise full circle. The illegitimate son (Adonis Johnson) of Apollo Creed outside of marriage seeks Rocky out to train him. He wants to be a boxer, and he wants follow in his father’s foot steps. A reluctant Rocky eventually becomes his trainer, and we have Rocky like moments in Creed.
One of the most disturbing things for me about Creed is the racial issues. Rocky was about showing that white people can box, and they are not inferior to black people. The issue of racism against white people is not addresses in Creed. In fact Holly Weird seems to be saying the old racist things of black people being better than white people.
Creed has plenty of blood, and violence. Fights happen inside the ring and outside the ring. Adonis has a short fuse and problems controlling his anger. Others can control him through his lack of control. Creed has a lot of bad language. Some of the bad language in Creed is at an ‘R’ level movie rating. I guess the redefiners strike again. They keep redefining things to let more and more evil out into the lower ratings.
I was very dismayed to see Creed support sex outside of marriage. I kept hoping Rocky would come downstairs and tell them to save it for marriage. Sadly Holly Weird can not stand up for good family morals. Instead it attacks them in a movie like Creed. This was one of the many scenes in Creed that could have been cut out. There are too many wasted scenes in this movie.
Much of the boxing storyline in Creed is recycled. Although some things are changed to give them a ghetto or hood flavor. The only songs in Creed that I enjoyed were the ones that paid homage to the original music. The entire movie was predictable. I hope there are no sequels to Creed ever.
