  Creed 2015

  ★★★★ Watched 08 Mar 2017

  Cheesy at times and somewhat predictable but overall a good film. Creed is as much a throwback to Rocky as it is a new, modern take on the sport and the franchise.

The comedy was hit or miss, sometimes an intelligent joke, sometimes slapstick humor, or often times far too offensive or misogynistic. The use of the comedy within the film worked well as it contrasted with the gruesome realities of war however the use of humor at the expense of the…
