Creed movie trailer looks pretty good

[Gandalf]

No, I am going to avoid this. As has been mentioned above, they are just squeezing it now and the last Rocky was as far as you can go. I really have no interest in Creed Jnr and then all the horrible urban music in the background to make it 'trendy'. I think it looks a bit rubbish. I have gone off films in general as they seem to start on the assumption that we have never seen a film before. Why would you watch this when you could just go back and watch a really good film like Rocky? I would prefer to watch a great film 50 times than watch 50 generic new films.

The only boxing film that doesn't suck is Raging Bull.

I think I went to see Ali three of four times.

Thanks for reminding me of that one.

The only two boxing films that don't suck are Raging Bull and Ali.

I think the first Rocky is a classic film. I never tire of watching it. The script is good, the music is good, the cast is just right. It's a great film IMO.

The Creed speaks for Stalone's Greed with Rocky franchised. It should have been dead for good. Everything has its time and place.

It would have been better if that was Rocky illegitimate son after he had an affair with Apollo's wife.

I bet every single person who has commented will at some stage watch this movie.... Your all admitting your big Rocky fans and won't be able to handle the "not knowing" - stop kidding yourselves 😊

[smashup]

When I say "not knowing" there's a lot of rumours that this movie will reveal what happened when Apollo and Rocky had their 3rd fight - happened behind closed doors, not sure if it'll be done using cgi or will just be spoke of, that's not been revealed yet?
I'd say Rocky edged it with closely fought late KO like the 2nd 😉

Rocky had a black eye at the start of the 4th and best film. That means Rocky probably got his ass handed to him by Apollo.

Bellew already has more chance of an oscar than DiCaprio

I went to an 'Audience With...' night with Stallone where he discussed this movie.

It is not a Rocky film or part of that franchise, it's taking the Creed story and going in a new direction. Rocky Balboa is just a character who features in that story. Who knows it might work.

Given Apollo died in 85 the character must be at least 30 - more plausible an age these days for heavyweights just starting a career than many years ago. Who can forget the "oh my god he's won the title back at 32" line when Ali beat Foreman.

Given that Apollo was supposed to be one of Rocky's best friends mind not sure how they going to explain how Rocky doesn't know him already ??

I'm sure in Rocky 2 you see Appollos kids running around the house when he's up on the top stairs reading through his hate mail aloud to his wife.

[Mark TKO]

yes you do and that was 1979 so this guy would be 39-40 !

[Mark TKO]

And I've just realised Creed's wife wasn't pregnant at his funeral !

Spooky - am sure they'll get round that one
