Still dominating the boxing world, Adonis Creed is thriving in his career and family life. When Damian, a childhood friend and former boxing prodigy resurfaces after serving time in prison, he's eager to prove that he deserves his shot in the ring. The face-off between former friends is more than just a fight. To settle the score, Adonis must put his future on the line to battle Damian -- a fighter who has nothing to lose.
The movie is incredibly formula in every possible way. There is nothing that you don't know is going to happen long before it does. But it keeps you hooked. The build up is good. The direction was good - and even better when you factor in that Michael B Jordan directed it. The performances were strong. And Jonathan Majors continued his Hollywood takeover by completely owning every scene he was in. The boxing was filmed in a different way that made it look more like a HD video game and that really worked well.
I would recommend any fan of the franchise checking this out. It is definitely my favorite of the three and you can give the majority of reasoning for that to Jonathan Majors for sure.
