Creed (Film Series) | Creed III | 3/3/23

I was just about to ask what he's been up to. He did such a great job in Get on Up, I couldn't believe be wasn't in anything since.
 
Man, I'm so happy for Ryan coogler and MBJ. Them dudes are about to stake their claim in Hollywood.

Thought it was just me. That movie is up there with The Temptations and Ray for me.

My favorite scene!! This is how I feel after my long weekend runs.

This movie is awesome. My boy Wallace is winning shout out to Coogler he's just about set to direct Marvels Black Panther

Tessa lookin like a young Janet from Poetic Justice very beautiful
 
Thought Creed was good, but not great. Nothing really moved me in the film. Felt like I was along for the ride instead of getting that motivational pull me in feeling. Everything happened a lil too fast.

-15-0 in Mexico...then quit job
-move to Philly
-spark up a quick easy relationship with Rocky
-meet girl...immediately becomes GF
-win first easily against contender.....get title shot & train
-Rocky gets sick
-predictable falling out with GF & Rocky
-Reunite for a great fight.

The end.

Enjoyed it, but I came away a Lil underwhelmed considering the hype. Felt rushed. But still, a good movie overall. MBJ holdin it down.

my thoughts exactly.

Again, seeing The Wire Alums flourishing in big roles is always great to see :pimp:
 
I went a saw it again last night and loved it even more. Just wish they would put Lupe's Prisoner song during the scene jail scene
I give the movie a 8/10...


but the scumbag in me wanted to see tone retaliate later in the film and I thought that is what was going to happen when MJB was sitting in front of the gym and the lil homie said "i heard u creed son" :nerd: :smh:

That would've been dope
 
Props to Tone though, not a lot of these bravado rappers would accept catching that L on film. I remember dudes used to have cool ***** clauses.

[h1]Sylvester Stallone Says ‘Creed’ Sequel Could Reunite Rocky and Apollo (EXCLUSIVE)[/h1]

After a successful comeback in “Creed,” which has grossed $103 million at the U.S. box office, Sylvester Stallone revealed in a new interview with Variety that he’s already getting ready to step back in the ring for another sequel where he’ll play Rocky Balboa.

MGM, which financed the Warner Bros. release with New Line, is onboard. “There’s no doubt that we’re making a ‘Creed 2,’” says MGM CEO Gary Barber.

It’s not clear if Ryan Coogler, who is in negotiations for Marvel’s “Black Panther,” will return as director of the next “Creed.” “I know Ryan is probably going to be gone for a couple years,” Stallone says. “So there will be a quandary on: Do we work with another director and have Ryan produce, or do we wait? There’s a diminishing time acceptance of a sequel. Now they are cranking them out in a year.”

Coogler and Stallone have already developed ideas for the new “Creed.” One version of the story would take place in the past, which would mean — in a surprise that would energize the franchise’s fans — bringing back Carl Weathers to play Apollo Creed, who died in 1985’s “Rocky IV.” “Ryan has some ideas of going forward and backward and actually seeing Rocky and Apollo together,” Stallone revealed. “Think of ‘The Godfather 2.’ That’s what he was thinking of, which was kind of ambitious.” Stallone said he’d recently bumped into Weathers, who looked like he was still in good shape. “I can’t believe I got in the ring with him,” he says. “Even if it was play fighting.”

Coogler is startled to hear that Stallone has already let the cat out of the bag about their plan. “Oh no!” he says with a sigh. “There are no secrets with Sly.” Jordan sounds more skeptical. “So it’s going to be a CGI-version of Sly?” he teases, adding that he’d like to be in the next film. “I’m trying to think about it. Knowing Ryan, he’ll find a clever way to make that work.”

Another option would be a linear story with Apollo’s son Adonis (Michael B. Jordan) taking on another challenger. “You’ll have him face a different opponent, which I would say is a more ferocious, big Russian,” Stallone says. “You can start to meld my experiences and then you start to bring different cultures into it. And you can see what’s happening with the Russians today in America. The complication will come with the girl’s ambition, because she’s not Adrian. She has places to go, things to see, the clock is running on her hearing.”
 
Man really hope Coogler comes back to direct. I could see the sequel disappointing if he doesn't
 
Yeah, that would be a big disappointment if he didn't return, but understandable since he'd have a chance to direct a big budget blockbuster superhero movie.

I think I'd rather wait the extra time to have Coogler direct, but I'd understand if they didn't want to wait that long.
 
Maybe this was brought up. But I thought it was cool finding out who won the private fight between Rocky and Apollo. If Appllo won, then it would make sense why he goes on to fight Drago first in Rocky 4. He just beat the champ and thinking he got the juice now. Gets in the ring with Drago and gets killed.

It's funny you mention that, I loved that too but my brother didn't like they revealed that "secret".

To me, it helped established that Apollo really was one of the best fighters ever.. and that Rocky, despite beating him once, was still the lesser fighter. Add that to the PTI guys and others mentioning Apollo's name with the greatest of all-time, it added more lore and history to the Rocky franchise.

My friend been saying that to me for a decade +.. I actually lost a real life $ bet on the third fight.. I was devastated when Rocky admitted the loss to Adonis.. Luckily I don't think my friend watch Creed because he hasn't collected on the wager.. :rofl:
