The movie as a whole is still excellent and well worth seeking out -- even if you don't really care about boxing or Rocky.

It's an invigorating piece of nostalgia that fuels a bigger adrenaline rush with its climax than any big-budget blockbuster could provide.

Hot damn! Fruitvale Station director Coogler, 29, turbocharges the Rocky franchise. Jordan is stellar. And so irresistible is Stallone's blend of tough and tender that Oscar should give him points. Yo, Academy!

Creed is a film that respects the Rocky franchise, made by someone who seems to have a genuine love for the franchise and understands why people loved the very first film.

Creed could easily become the foundation for a franchise, allowing Sylvester Stallone to age gracefully and take up less space on the screen, while still conveying that punch-drunk wisdom.

Anyone hoping the franchise might open out into new thematic territory will be disappointed; this is the same old ritual, from the amped-up training sequences to the climactic title fight with its absurd number of punches landed in every round.

Coogler keeps everything moving so gracefully that by the end of Creed, we almost don't know what hit us.

Sylvester Stallone gives the most compelling and truthful performance of his career.

Stallone is not only giving his best performance to since Rocky, but Michael B. Jordan has fully established himself as a leading man to be reckoned with.

The film is full of life and loose humor, and Creed often transcends the genre by playing with movie mythology.

... the heart of the film: identity and family, the legacies you inherit and the legacies you create. It's also a marvelously satisfying, old-fashioned, underdog boxing movie

Whether the credit goes to the director or the actor or both, this is the performance of Stallone's career, one in which that age-defying orange body stays covered up but his sadness is in full view.
