Don't know if this has been mentioned or if any of you know buuuuut Sly Stallone is in the process of making this movie starring Michael B. Jordan as the titular character and Brit fighter Tony Bellew as a fighter named "Pretty Ricky" :rolleyes: and apparently there was a bit of a scuffle on the set recently with Bellew at the center of it.
So thoughts? Ideas? Feelings about this movie?
Tony Bellew and Andre Ward are in negotiations to costar in Creed
Apparently Bellew is already in thereQuote:

Bellew!!!?
Its like having Tarver! Is he purposefully choosing fighters with crap physiques to make himself look better?
I don't know much about Bellew other than he's from the UK. Don't think this movie will involve Stallone other than in the director's chair.Quote:

And yes the gobshite bin dipper Bellew is in it :-X
Creed (2015) - IMDb
.....ah so he wants to play the Cus D'Mato/Angelo Dundee/Mick Goldmill role to the young up and coming Apollo Creed. This is going to be like Ali meets Tyson I would assume, probably have Stallone's character die off right before the last big bout as is the archetypal plot twist for the hero of a movie.Quote:

Im not sure what weight they are making this new Adonis Creed character out to be but seeing him side by side with Stallone hes not much taller if at all and doesnt look a heavyweight at all.
I wonder why they have chosen Bellew? The only thing I can think of is the thick accent and with Americans ignorance on anything none american with regards geography and naming Bellews character as Ricky that hes hoping the accent and name are reminiscent of Britains biggest export in recent years.
Did anyone ever watch The Wire? So Apollo is played by "Wallace" from the first season, time flies huh;D
I don't get Bellew either really, seems a bit dull and he doesn't look menacing, but it might work. I thought Tarver in the last one was ok I think..
Mixed feelings about this one
Most of you know how big a Rocky fan I am so I fear the worst.
I went to an evening with Stallone in Sheffield in January - a member of audience quizzed him on why the film is happening.
Stallone insisted it was a spin off and Rocky is just a bit part player - though did say Rocky is now a loner and everyone's gone from his life ?!? Guess that means Paulie is dead now too :eek:
So let's just see :-\
Well Stallone himself is only like 5'4 or something ridiculous and he was 154 pounds during the filming of Rocky IV, so Tarver as a heavyweight I wasn't worried about.
Now this is going to be Apollo growing up as a boxer, learning the ropes from his wizen old marble mouthed trainer, and so I reckon it'll be kind of a period piece seeing how in 1976 Apollo fought Rocky in their first fight and Apollo was dominant at the time so dominant they didn't know who to get him to fight next ergo the Rocky story. So this SHOULD take place in the 1960's at the very latest so the fighters were smaller then so Bellew I believe could pull off heavyweight....Stallone knows how to make these movies, I figure he's got it sorted out alright
No...Quote:

....yeeeesh
Adonis:rolleyes: That's the most cringe worthy name ever. Like naming a girl Aphrodite or something for fucks sake.
Do all The Creed's have Greek God names? I would have much rather seen Apollo developed a bit more rather than what this looks like.
I can see Adonis :rolleyes: getting all down on himself and Rocky going all "AY! Your father never QUIT!"
What happened to Clubber Lang and Ivan Drago? They have no kids no story worth telling?
Or a pimp...Quote:

Rocky Fan. So I will watch it.
Yeah i'd watch anything that involves Balboa too :cool:
Yep
I watched Rocky V so why not
Rocky 6 was not a great movie either.Quote:

You take that back now! Rocky 1 - 4 are brilliant.Quote:

The training and the fights are the best bits along with the music. Leave now and pos this on you unpopular opinions.Quote:

The fights are terrible! Even nodding dogs don't react as much as Stallone does when he takes a shot in the films.
Also, who the fuck would think it was a good idea to train in the freezing cold punching animal carcasses? Who would risk their job by letting their mate come in and ruin the meat they are supposed to sell?
Just cheesy rubbish.
I like the making of Balboa- Tarver & Stallone threw real shots at each other. Tarver had to lay back, because Sly was pretty swollen by the final take.
Side note: Stallone's Rocky IMO made pro-wrasslin' a household name, Not McMahon- Hulk Hogan became a phenom after Thunder Lips- McMahon was privileged as the NWA & AWA folded to the division Thunder lips went to WWWE. & B.A. Baracus (Mr.T)- man, Rocky the movie has done so much.
Yeah, the fight scenes were pretty cheesy, but how many boxing movies aren't cheesy? :rolleyes:
The point of the training was to show new technology versus old traditional methods also hard work beats drug cheating Russians. :mad:Quote:

If I was making a boxing film id get real boxers, that look as close to the actors as possible and get them to spar hard.
Its the most important bit of the film and always ends up looking shit. Always pulled punches, massive over reaction to any landed punch. Never looks realistic.
I was on about Rocky punching pig carcasses in a freezer. But yeah, if your training someone to fight a massive fight, or put it this way, I doubt very much Floyd or Manny are going to go out in the snow pulling horse carts...Quote:

I would agree that 6 is for the more nostalgic fan
But fuck off anyway
6 a head of 3? Apollo, Hulk Hogan and Mr T beat Tarver any day.
It was good timing for me 6 - and a plausible story
Inspired my Philadelphia trip so that's why. As I said nostalgia
I must have watched 3 and 4 several times a month in 1986-87
But as I said - fuck off anyway
You know I am right 6 is pants hence the abuse. :)Quote:
