Pros -
3 fights in the movie
Jonathan Majors was good
The set up for Adonis vs Dame was good
First two fights were fine for in-ring action.

Cons -
The set up for Dame vs Chavez was awful. Give Dame a pro-record of 2-0 before he goes to jail and have him get out and do the club boxing to get a record of 3-0 before going to Adonis. Having someone with 0 professional experience taking on the champ, with 20 years in prison? Just don't buy it. It was a step too far for a movie generally trying to be grounded.

The montage suuuuuuuuucked. Worst montage of any Rocky movie. It was on the right track. We didn't need to see Adonis pulling a plane. Watching him hit a tree while his arms and joints are hit by sticks or something would be better.

Dame didn't fight nearly dirty enough in the final fight. You can end it clean, but he has to be super dirty at least first few rounds.

Final fight... it was still better than Rocky 5 final fight, but stylistically it was my least favorite fight by a large margin. I get they were trying to do anime shit... but why? That's not what the Rocky universe is about.

No Rocky

No Sylvester Stallone

Related to shitty montage, lack of awesome pump you up music.

If they do a Creed 4, I hope Sly is involved. He gets how to film a boxing scene.

Don't think I will be watching this one again.

I thought it was pretty decent

I just think the Rocky 'formula' is getting old.

I could forgive pretty much all of it with a better montage. South Park does a better montage.
