Thank you Ryan Coogler. You have not only honored the Rocky franchise, but you have erased the sin of Fantastic Four clean off Michael B. Jordan's slate.
I'm so excited for Ryan Coogler and his carreer. This is only his SECOND Hollywood film, and there are already rumors that Marvel has their eyes on him for Black Panther. And considering how good this movie is being reviewed, *OMG* Godspeed Coogler.
+NoName That's even better. Because it shows Hollywood that he's capable of handling something small, intimate and relatively unknown by the masses as well as handling something that's a well-beloved property that everyone knows. It also shows them that he's a filmmaker with incredible range and can do just about any genre.
What's surprises me is that Coogler is young af. He only turned 29 this year. Dude's not even born yet when the first Rocky movie came out. Talk about bright future and career.
+Logan Holtgrave Clearly, That's So Raven is the superior one. Really captures the struggle of a young woman seeing the foreseeable future and the horrors it may bring...
one of the things people (including the reviewer) haven't touched on is the pre-fight atmosphere and tension. I'm an athlete myself and we all get the pregame jitters, but it's something that's hard to portray. this movie had my adrenaline going during those anticipation scenes. the distant crowd noise, the nervous shakiness of the actors speech and the faraway look in their eyes is perfectly captured. little things like that is what makes this movie absolutely amazing.
Royal Critics Flush When a movie gets a A+ Stuckmann score, double 5/5 Schmoe score, and an Awesometacular from JeremyJahns. Note Royal Critics Flush has never been done before.
+Mine MLG Empire strikes back is a definite yes but that film is old and perfect. When I say never been done before, I am referring to a release since the inception of the big 3. Stuckmann was the last of the 3 to join in so any film after 2011 has never received a perfect score from all 3 mega critic sources.
I almost cried when they diagnosed Rocky with cancer and he denied the treatment. I was like "this is really happening, Rocky Balboa is going to die". At the end they managed to both fight as well, Creed on his boxing challenge and Rocky with his cancer treatment. Great movie, cleans up the "meh" memories I have from Rocky 6.
So did I and for the past three years I kept telling myself that if Creed 2 begins with Rocky having passed away I would breakdown crying in the theatre. Fortunately Creed 2 is coming out in 2 weeks alll the previews are showing him alive and well.
My father did the same thing. He was told with the cancer treatment he would last half a year and with out it he would have a few months. With out it he is still alive going on 4 years. Im sure he may feel like he is on death row but hell he is still in our lives. I haven't even seen this movie yet but Im hesitant because I know im gonna cry like a baby in front of my girlfriend yet again lol. W.E fuck it . Renting this on Vudu tonight. Cheers. and stay strong
I knew creed would be good. Stallone wouldn't have done it if he thought it was a bad film or idea. He's at a age where he wouldn't allow anything to mess up what he accomplished with Rocky.
Also agree the boxing scenes were well shot but I didn't really even pay attention to the fight scenes because they are not really important to the story.
Aero Windwalker Because nothing about it rang true. It was arrogant from the beginning in it's lack of respect for the process of success. In the original movie, Rocky had not succeeded immediately. He had suffered through a life of disappointment, but when he was offered an opportunity for success, he drove himself to at least be able to face it and survive. Rocky wasn't exceptional, he respected the honor that was being bestowed On him to face the champion, and he prepared himself. He didn't expect to beat the champ, but he had a level of success through courage and determination. This movie has none of that. We have a young man who goes from being alright to phenomenal in no time. He is almost immediately offered a shot even though he might as well be unranked, and has hardly any known boxing experience. He doesn't have to earn a reputation, he is immediately treated as if he's valuable, and it shows because he acts like an arrogant asshole. There are scenes that ghetto stereotyping garbage, like the scene where there are black guys following him through the streets on four wheelers, as if urban men's lives are like a Ja-Rule video.
Just saw CREED last night (released late in the UK). Excellent film; the writing is superb, the acting is superb, the fights are superb, it has everything and more you could want from a Rocky movie and more. Bring on CREED 2!
No lie, I teared up too. The director did such a great job to make the characters believable and you feel for them. Excellent movie and it is on par with the first.
It was a great movie ! Honestly I came out with low expections and I'm happy it did prove me wrong . I liked how creed wasn't an arrogant, egomaniacal guy but it's a guy trying to find a meaning in his life . That's awesome!
honestly I gotta say,for me, this movie made me cry,great movie,how they brought up rockys past and how he is doing now and how creed loves to fight and loved how they introduced him,great movie hands down best for the next 2 years if they make a squeal.
there were a few really long takes in this film...i think the most impressive was the shot before his final fight. from rocky's pep talk, the warm up in the locker room, the walk to the ring, and rocky's final words of encouragement before the fight.....all one shot...beautiful
I almost cried about 6 times during this movie, and that NEVER happens. Ryan Coogler has easily become a director that I'll run to the theater to see no matter what.
Something that I really loved about this movie was that the first big boxing match was done in one take and the a large portion of the final fight was done in one take. It really made the fights feel more immersive.
I'm from Philly and my Dad is obsessed with the Rocky movies, and I can't remember a time when I hadn't watched Rocky. I'm so excited to hear how great it is and go and see it with my Dad.
Being only a short drive from Philly and being a former boxer and fight starter (I'm pugnacious by nature), this felt like a biopic for so many people like myself. We are all always fighting for more than just exterior gain and this was a great way to show it. One of the years best films in my opinion.
if you are as stupid as he is. his points are literally opposite to reality. Everything single point he made was wrong, and every aspect of this movie was awful.
What I loved most about this movie was the emotional scenes. I tear up when Rocky goes to see Donnie in the police station. That scene tugged at my heart. Rocky’s words to Donnie were simple but truly effective. I really enjoyed this film.
+waterblonk It has some great scenes like the one with Mickey...and I liked that Rocky was back as the character we knew from 1+2...didn't like the "rich business Rocky" from 3+4 as much.
One thing I didn’t like about the movie was how people would change their minds so quickly. So rocky didn’t want to go through the cancer treatment because his wife went through it and still passed away which would be a huge mental block for him. But his mind got changed in the space of 10 seconds by Adonis saying if he fights so does rocky. The film had so much to touch up on it could have been a series rather than a movie.
Hey, thanks for the review - hadn't heard of Creed before you reviewed it, and literally just watched it BECAUSE it was on your channel. Now I actually want to check it out. Thanks.
I used to watch Ebert and Roeper review movies as a kid, now I watch Chris Stuckmann for some awesome reviews. Definitely checking out Creed now, thanks for the review!
Chris I love your videos man. You are literally the only person I trust with movies. I know in one of your videos you said you were thinking about doing more foreign films. I was hoping you would consider watching and reviewing The Man from Nowhere, South Korean action-thriller. Korea's highest grossing film in 2010, and it's got a 100%/90% on Rotten Tomatoes, thanks man!
I've been a Michael B. Jordan fan since his Friday Night Lights days so I was interested in this film early on, and I'm happy to hear that you liked it. I hope I will like it too, and your review gives me high hopes.
You've put into words exactly how I feel about Creed, I saw it again a month after it's release and I love it more. The score is incredible and I also got teary a couple times. Oh the feels...
This was the best Rocky film since the original 2. Rocky Balboa was great but this was a good "swan song" for the series. They do NOT need to make a sequel.
Chris, idk whats coming to the arthouse theaters near you, but The World of Kanako, Son of Saul, Macbeth, 45 Years, Youth, Joy, The Revenant, The Hateful Eight and Anamolisa are all releasing before the end of the year, the first few i mentioned releasing within the next 2-3 weeks. Now i know you probably won't see some of those save for possibly Macbeth, Revenant, Joy and Hateful Eight, but would really like to see you review some international films before the year is out.
YESSSS!!!! I'm so happy this movie is GREAT! Michael B, Jordan will finally get the stardom he deserves and his chance to shine! So happy for him and Stallone as well!
i wasn't interested in seeing this film because I never saw any of the Rocky movies and I'm not that into boxing, but after the Schmoes and now Chris reviewing it with such enthusiasm, I think I do need to go see it
Creative That seems a little weird. He even admitted it was a nitpick. Go back and watch a movie like The Dark Knight and you can nit pick the heck out of it even though it's fantastic.
Your review on Creed was so on point. I most never ever get emotional with movies but this one hit the mark multiple times. it really does make you think of one's own personal gains and losses.
I'd put the Rocky movies as follow: Rocky - 5/5 Rocky II - 4.5/5 Creed - 4.5/5 Rocky Balboa - 4.5/5 Rocky III - 3.5/5 Rocky IV - 3/5 Rocky V - 2/5 I still enjoy watching every single one of them, even Rocky V.
My main problem with Rocky Balboa or Rocky 6 was the boxing, the editting was underwhelming and the shots as well, even the sound wasn't great, nice you touched on that subject!
Somehow I had no idea this movie existed. When some friends invited me to go, I went in the theatre expecting a bad movie (last one I saw with them was pan). When I figured out this was a rocky film I got a little excited, but not much more. Probably one of the best experiences this year purely because I had no expectations whatsoever
Yea they mentioned his son in the movie. He moved out of Philly because the pressure of being "Rocky's son" was too much so he started a new life in Connecticut. There was a scene while they were mentioning his son but it showed a picture of Stallone and his real son that died, it was like a behind the scenes pic from Rocky movie.. I thought that was pretty cool.
I checked it out here today (New Year's) in Japan. I don't think Rocky caught on as much in this country, so there were 10 or less people in the theater. Nice and quiet and I had fun with it. Must import the DVD when it comes out.
Always interesting to see a movie you hardly see or hear things about do so well. I didn't realize this was a Rocky movie. Suddenly I'm kind of interested to go see it.
Rocky is not just his role, it's his life. He was on the ground like Rocky was. He even gave away his dog to make this movie happen. If you take a blood sample from Stallone the FBI will tell you that's Rocky's blood.
I BELIEVE you just sold me on Creed, when I wasn't even super interested in it from the first trailer I was shown. Nothing against Rocky, and I actually have seen and enjoyed all the movies in the series, but I wasn't really into the idea of another one, I guess? Keeping my expectations low, I was hoping Creed would at least be "pretty good," but yeah, now I wanna see it. Very nice job, Mr. Stuckmann. Keep up the fantastic work. You're easily one of my favorite reviewers by a long shot. *thumbs up*
imo 1 rocky (masterpiece) 2 rocky balboa (amazing) 3 rocky 2 (great but very similar to the first) 4 rocky 5 (when i was a kid a hated this movie with passion but the more i watch it the more i like it) 5 rocky 4 (the most entertaining but so over the top) 6 rocky 3 ( all 80s cliches combined) i hope creed will not dissapoint me !!! :)
wow, when Chris said very serious, "Creed, is a great film" it gave me chills, cause I was looking forward for this movie, seemed like a good fun movie in the trailers, but I found comfort in him saying it was beyong good, now I must see it tonight.
You have no idea how happy this makes me. Rocky is one of those few fictional characters that really inspires me and makes me want to be a better person. I predict tears will run down my face in this film.
Ever since seeing the first trailer, I've been so pumped to see this movie. I'm not able to make it out to see movies in theater very often, but I'm definitely going to try to go see this one.
One of the things I really liked about creed was that in one of the scenes in the hospital you notice that he's wearing the exact same shoes he wore in the first movie. I only noticed it in that one scene but he was probably wearing them in other scenes too.
I feel like this is the year of Chris nit-picking movies. He has given so many movies just an 'A' rating when then deserve an 'A+' Honestly, Inside Out and The Martian are 'A+' movies. I could nit-pick Fury Road till the point that it's down to an 'A' but I'm not going to because it was so enjoyable.
that's literally what criticism Is tho, a film could be a 5/10, but that doesn't make it not entertaining and nobody would make that claim. implying because something is entertaining further analysis should be swept aside is moronic to be quite honest. I think Chris is ridiculously lenient especially with films like inside out and mad max fury road, seeing as how those films don't excel in any way yet received rave reviews.
+NewoandMe I think he gives out _'A's_ like candy, personally, never mind 'A+'s. There are to many faults with the movies you mention in my opinion to give them a perfect score. Even movies like Fury Road, which was probably my favourite movie of the year so far, doesn't deserve a perfect score, I don't think.
I was blown away by Creed! Being a huge Rocky fan, I felt this movie captured the heart and essence of the original film! And you're right! Best performance by Stallone in years.
Wow thanks Chris!! you have made me so excited to see this!!!! I was excited before because I'm a huge Rocky fan but now i am buzzing!!!! I have to wait until January in England 😬
great review! I wish you will review Fargo the TV series anytime soon? hoping for that because I think its one of the best TV shows airing right now after Breaking Bad.
I am so glad to hear this! I Hated the idea of it initially. But when I heard that Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan were attached I suspected it to become awesome.
Very happy this movie didn't bust
Oh it busted alright, just in a different way.
Does your name reference this particular video?
+Lavon Woods the video game actually lolol
Yea me too
Surprise movie of the year?
Thank you Ryan Coogler. You have not only honored the Rocky franchise, but you have erased the sin of Fantastic Four clean off Michael B. Jordan's slate.
XD
How has he not honoured the rockys
@MUFC Here too?
@Joshua Hammond Right.
Creed was just pathetic
I'm so excited for Ryan Coogler and his carreer. This is only his SECOND Hollywood film, and there are already rumors that Marvel has their eyes on him for Black Panther. And considering how good this movie is being reviewed, *OMG* Godspeed Coogler.
Black Panther? Really?!?? :D
He did one Hollywood film. Fruitvale Station is an indie film.
+NoName That's even better. Because it shows Hollywood that he's capable of handling something small, intimate and relatively unknown by the masses as well as handling something that's a well-beloved property that everyone knows. It also shows them that he's a filmmaker with incredible range and can do just about any genre.
Earthling Crusader I know.
What's surprises me is that Coogler is young af. He only turned 29 this year. Dude's not even born yet when the first Rocky movie came out.
Talk about bright future and career.
Michael B. Jordan redeemed himself from Fant4stic.
Dallas Cowboys For Life Yh true. Who would you blame? Josh Trank or 20th Century Fox?
Dallas Cowboys For Life That sounds fair to me. But are the rumors of Josh Trank drunk on set true?
Dallas Cowboys For Life I guess we'll never know.
+Remy "Gambit" LeBeau why either or? BOTH!
+Remy "Gambit" LeBeau I don't think the failure of FF had anything to do with the actors. I think it was FOX's and Trank's cluster f**k.
Year 8: still no Cory in the house review
+Logan Holtgrave no 'honey I shrunk the kids' is the best. Really stays true to the manga.
True man wish he reviewed it
But will it blend?
+coryinthehouse Still no Fallout 4 review
+Logan Holtgrave Clearly, That's So Raven is the superior one. Really captures the struggle of a young woman seeing the foreseeable future and the horrors it may bring...
one of the things people (including the reviewer) haven't touched on is the pre-fight atmosphere and tension. I'm an athlete myself and we all get the pregame jitters, but it's something that's hard to portray. this movie had my adrenaline going during those anticipation scenes. the distant crowd noise, the nervous shakiness of the actors speech and the faraway look in their eyes is perfectly captured. little things like that is what makes this movie absolutely amazing.
+alex cable - Great insight. But, I hope you never have to fight against either of those guys. Best wishes, Ted
alex cable I NOTICED THAT TOO
Dude I absolutely know what you mean. Before every single football game I got that way. This movie brought back those same feelings lol!
It's from the guy who made Fruitvale Station?? I'M WATCHING THIS MOVIE ASAP
My problem with Fruitvale Station was "Bruh" lol They say it so much.
+jordan arellano bruh
+jordan arellano Bruh

Royal Critics Flush
When a movie gets a A+ Stuckmann score, double 5/5 Schmoe score, and an Awesometacular from JeremyJahns.
Note Royal Critics Flush has never been done before.
I'm sure it happened with mad max fury road. Ik Chris and jahns did, not sure about schnoes
+Mine MLG jahns gave mad max fury road a buy it on blu-ray.
+Diego Herrera oh... But how about the matrix... Or empire strikes back...
+Mine MLG Empire strikes back is a definite yes but that film is old and perfect. When I say never been done before, I am referring to a release since the inception of the big 3. Stuckmann was the last of the 3 to join in so any film after 2011 has never received a perfect score from all 3 mega critic sources.
Whiplash
Seeing as how Hateful Eight is right around the corner, you better be working on an Inglorious Bastards review... PLEASE!
i aprove this
Fuck Yeah!
+Adrian Reyes he will probably do pulp fiction...
Yes! He needs to!
+Adrian Reyes up vote this guy

can you not spoil the movie man
Rocky 6 was amazing tf u talking about
Rocky 6 was meh? Wtf
I knew creed would be good. Stallone wouldn't have done it if he thought it was a bad film or idea. He's at a age where he wouldn't allow anything to mess up what he accomplished with Rocky.
I can't wait till creed 4 when Donny fights a middle eastern guy and makes a peace speech in the end
.
Probably an iranian because of the tension
Rocky: A+
Rocky 2: B+
Rocky 3: A
Rocky 4: A-
Rocky 5: D
Rocky Balboa: A
Creed: A+
Rocky 4 - D
nba73 rocky 5 straight F-
lol
nba73 rocky 4 is an A it is a man going up a machine the Russian is using steroids and has the whole country by his side Rocky's on his own and wins
nba73
I gave it 10/10.
Also agree the boxing scenes were well shot but I didn't really even pay attention to the fight scenes because they are not really important to the story.
Aero Windwalker The story sucked shit through a straw.
Christopher Briscoe That's really graphic. Why would you say that?
Aero Windwalker Because nothing about it rang true. It was arrogant from the beginning in it's lack of respect for the process of success. In the original movie, Rocky had not succeeded immediately. He had suffered through a life of disappointment, but when he was offered an opportunity for success, he drove himself to at least be able to face it and survive.

There are scenes that ghetto stereotyping garbage, like the scene where there are black guys following him through the streets on four wheelers, as if urban men's lives are like a Ja-Rule video.
Christopher Briscoe Actually those are fairly good points. Huh, okay, I will downrate it to 8/10.
Just saw CREED last night (released late in the UK). Excellent film; the writing is superb, the acting is superb, the fights are superb, it has everything and more you could want from a Rocky movie and more. Bring on CREED 2!
@Joshua Hammond Right
No lie, I teared up too. The director did such a great job to make the characters believable and you feel for them. Excellent movie and it is on par with the first.
I really wanna see Chris' top 10 best films of 2015 video...
+Markos Dalezios Who are you kidding, it's definitely going to have 17 choices in the top 10 best films :P
:P
It'll be out the day after he sees Star Wars :D
+Dino710 have you seen kingsman, sicario, the Martian, it follows, peanuts, or creed? We still have star wars, the revenant, and the hateful eight
+Markos Dalezios ...where he hasn't seen every film that comes out that year but still makes a top 10 video.
It was a great movie ! Honestly I came out with low expections and I'm happy it did prove me wrong . I liked how creed wasn't an arrogant, egomaniacal guy but it's a guy trying to find a meaning in his life . That's awesome!
honestly I gotta say,for me, this movie made me cry,great movie,how they brought up rockys past and how he is doing now and how creed loves to fight and loved how they introduced him,great movie hands down best for the next 2 years if they make a squeal.
there were a few really long takes in this film...i think the most impressive was the shot before his final fight. from rocky's pep talk, the warm up in the locker room, the walk to the ring, and rocky's final words of encouragement before the fight.....all one shot...beautiful
Ryan Coogler and Michael B Jordan are the new 'Scorsese and DeNiro', every movie they make is a hit and critically acclaimed.
I REALLY need to see Black Panther ... same composer as well - lots of good things are being said about it.
I almost cried about 6 times during this movie, and that NEVER happens. Ryan Coogler has easily become a director that I'll run to the theater to see no matter what.
Something that I really loved about this movie was that the first big boxing match was done in one take and the a large portion of the final fight was done in one take. It really made the fights feel more immersive.
I'm from Philly and my Dad is obsessed with the Rocky movies, and I can't remember a time when I hadn't watched Rocky. I'm so excited to hear how great it is and go and see it with my Dad.
"Cut my gloves off, I need to take a shit!"
hi chris i was wondering if you plan on reviewing Jessica Jones?
He rarely ever does TV reviews
He did Daredevil, so there's a ray of hope...
+lawofgravity1979 He did do daredevil though.
Chris doesnt reply. So dont waste your time asking him a question.
+Eric Draven Ha Ha Ha
Being only a short drive from Philly and being a former boxer and fight starter (I'm pugnacious by nature), this felt like a biopic for so many people like myself. We are all always fighting for more than just exterior gain and this was a great way to show it. One of the years best films in my opinion.
This guys reviews are SO ON POINT.
if you are as stupid as he is. his points are literally opposite to reality. Everything single point he made was wrong, and every aspect of this movie was awful.

And the best spin-off movie of all time award goes to.....
What I loved most about this movie was the emotional scenes. I tear up when Rocky goes to see Donnie in the police station. That scene tugged at my heart. Rocky’s words to Donnie were simple but truly effective. I really enjoyed this film.
I can't be the only one that likes Rocky V.
Yes. Yes you are
top 3 rocky movie for me
+waterblonk Dude...not even Stallone himself likes Rocky V.
+waterblonk It has some great scenes like the one with Mickey...and I liked that Rocky was back as the character we knew from 1+2...didn't like the "rich business Rocky" from 3+4 as much.
I only like that scene where rocky remembers mickey, that breaks my heart everytime
oh pls oh pls review speilbergs E.T. it is one of the greatest movies of all time and i'd love to see what you say about the movie
I second this!
He should definitely review E.T.
I cried at the end. So beautiful.
@Joshua Hammond incel
@Joshua Hammond It is. Search it up maybe. Intolerable also fits you.
U cry easily
I love watching your reviews! You never miss and always give the best and truest descriptions :D! I am sooooo excited to watch this movie :).
I can't believe nobody is talking about Tony Bellew as Ricky Conlon. Down to earth professional Boxer in his first acting gig, and he killed it!
One thing I didn’t like about the movie was how people would change their minds so quickly. So rocky didn’t want to go through the cancer treatment because his wife went through it and still passed away which would be a huge mental block for him. But his mind got changed in the space of 10 seconds by Adonis saying if he fights so does rocky. The film had so much to touch up on it could have been a series rather than a movie.

Shane Carruth has a big movie in the works. Maybe when that comes out

Michael.B Jordan was also in Red Tails, his character's name was Maurice. Red Tails was directed by Anthony Hemingway.
Glad I'll enjoy this movie. Got something to watch before Star Wars comes out now! :)
So pumped for Star Wars
+FloppyFlapjak batman vs superman will own
You've put into words exactly how I feel about Creed, I saw it again a month after it's release and I love it more. The score is incredible and I also got teary a couple times. Oh the feels...
Schmoes Know: 5/5
IGN: 8.5/10
Grace Beyond The Trailer: Fantastic Movie
Chris Stuckmann: A
now who want to Predict Jeremy Jahn's score????
AWESOMETACULAR!
+Pertamanak Primaindra I think it's probably: "Worth Buying On Blu-Ray".
DOGSHIT!!!!!!
good time if you're drunk
worth buying on bluay
Here we are 6 years later and Creed 3 comes out in 5 months 😭😭 so excited
This was the best Rocky film since the original 2. Rocky Balboa was great but this was a good "swan song" for the series. They do NOT need to make a sequel.

i wasn't interested in seeing this film because I never saw any of the Rocky movies and I'm not that into boxing, but after the Schmoes and now Chris reviewing it with such enthusiasm, I think I do need to go see it
Chris, out of curiosity, what kept this movie from an A+?
probably that one flaw he mentioned
Creative That seems a little weird. He even admitted it was a nitpick. Go back and watch a movie like The Dark Knight and you can nit pick the heck out of it even though it's fantastic.
sivad parks True, but A+ is perfect..I feel like he didn't wanna elaborate on it because he didn't wanna spoil
+sivad parks I think because an A+ is for excellent and original movies.
Creative Mad Max and The Dark Knight Rises are not perfect. Don't get me wrong, I love both of those movies, but they shouldn't be deemed "prefect."
Your review on Creed was so on point. I most never ever get emotional with movies but this one hit the mark multiple times. it really does make you think of one's own personal gains and losses.
Who's Here After Watching "Black Panther"...
Chris, you're my favorite TH-cam movie reviewer. Thanks for confirming Creed as my movie for this month!
Creed 2 is coming out.
Thank you for the thought out reviews, this is the only reliable movie review source that I have seen. Good work.
I'd put the Rocky movies as follow:
Rocky - 5/5
Rocky II - 4.5/5
Creed - 4.5/5
Rocky Balboa - 4.5/5

I still enjoy watching every single one of them, even Rocky V.
You missed the spin-off South Paw, that's a relative of Rocky... lol
The the fuck is wrong with you!!?! You put creed over Rocky III???!!!!!!!!!???????!
@@tristan7844 Holy moly that was 5 years ago haha.
This ranking might have changed, I was young back then. 😹
Hey thanks for completing Fruitvale. I'm in the movie and also did Michael B Jordan's core work for him as a stand-in. Much Love to your review!
The entire theatre applauded during the credits when I went
My main problem with Rocky Balboa or Rocky 6 was the boxing, the editting was underwhelming and the shots as well, even the sound wasn't great, nice you touched on that subject!
I watched this movie yesterday... I already want to watch it again.
Joshua Hammond you liked your own comment bro lmfao
Somehow I had no idea this movie existed. When some friends invited me to go, I went in the theatre expecting a bad movie (last one I saw with them was pan). When I figured out this was a rocky film I got a little excited, but not much more. Probably one of the best experiences this year purely because I had no expectations whatsoever
Didn't Rocky have a son at some point in the series?
Yea they mentioned his son in the movie. He moved out of Philly because the pressure of being "Rocky's son" was too much so he started a new life in Connecticut. There was a scene while they were mentioning his son but it showed a picture of Stallone and his real son that died, it was like a behind the scenes pic from Rocky movie.. I thought that was pretty cool.
Rattu That's sad.. Didn't know.
+Rattu I thought they said he started a new life in Vancouver--it stood out because of the fact that he moved clear to another country.
+ZoeHewittHosting yea it was Vancouver. i saw it again for the 2nd time. My mistake
Not at all--it happens! You might like watching my analysis of the movie with some eagle eye things to look for in case you see it again! :)
Chris your reviews are always the best so appreciative of what you do.
Review Warrior
Review the new emerson mutant
Love that movie!
yes, warrior is far better than southpaw and creed
I checked it out here today (New Year's) in Japan. I don't think Rocky caught on as much in this country, so there were 10 or less people in the theater. Nice and quiet and I had fun with it. Must import the DVD when it comes out.
Anyone saw the Cheeky Liverpool fan in the Everton home stadium
Always interesting to see a movie you hardly see or hear things about do so well. I didn't realize this was a Rocky movie. Suddenly I'm kind of interested to go see it.
Please review Room and/or Spotlight.
Chris really is my go to reviewer. His style is unmatched.
Rocky is not just his role, it's his life. He was on the ground like Rocky was. He even gave away his dog to make this movie happen. If you take a blood sample from Stallone the FBI will tell you that's Rocky's blood.
I just peeped your Jet Force Gemini poster!! I didn't think anyone knew about that game.
Damn...people boycotting a movie before being seen, thats just sad.
I BELIEVE you just sold me on Creed, when I wasn't even super interested in it from the first trailer I was shown. Nothing against Rocky, and I actually have seen and enjoyed all the movies in the series, but I wasn't really into the idea of another one, I guess? Keeping my expectations low, I was hoping Creed would at least be "pretty good," but yeah, now I wanna see it.
Very nice job, Mr. Stuckmann. Keep up the fantastic work. You're easily one of my favorite reviewers by a long shot. *thumbs up*

wow, when Chris said very serious, "Creed, is a great film" it gave me chills, cause I was looking forward for this movie, seemed like a good fun movie in the trailers, but I found comfort in him saying it was beyong good, now I must see it tonight.
Best movie of 2015. I said it.
You have no idea how happy this makes me. Rocky is one of those few fictional characters that really inspires me and makes me want to be a better person. I predict tears will run down my face in this film.
The movie was fantastic. If you're unsure I'll tell you now. . . .it's worth theatre dollars
amen
Ever since seeing the first trailer, I've been so pumped to see this movie. I'm not able to make it out to see movies in theater very often, but I'm definitely going to try to go see this one.
a? Creed Deserve A+
I know - that was a shocking score he gave.
One of the things I really liked about creed was that in one of the scenes in the hospital you notice that he's wearing the exact same shoes he wore in the first movie. I only noticed it in that one scene but he was probably wearing them in other scenes too.
And to think Michael B. Jordan was ever in crap like Fant4stic.
I wanted to see your review before me and my dad went to go see it, to see if it was worth my time. I'm pretty pumped up for it.
I feel like this is the year of Chris nit-picking movies. He has given so many movies just an 'A' rating when then deserve an 'A+'
Honestly, Inside Out and The Martian are 'A+' movies.
I could nit-pick Fury Road till the point that it's down to an 'A' but I'm not going to because it was so enjoyable.
that's literally what criticism Is tho, a film could be a 5/10, but that doesn't make it not entertaining and nobody would make that claim. implying because something is entertaining further analysis should be swept aside is moronic to be quite honest. I think Chris is ridiculously lenient especially with films like inside out and mad max fury road, seeing as how those films don't excel in any way yet received rave reviews.
+NewoandMe The Martian and Inside Out are defenite A+ movies, Fury Road is a B- for me.
+FreakieFan Same with Sicario
+NewoandMe I think he gives out _'A's_ like candy, personally, never mind 'A+'s. There are to many faults with the movies you mention in my opinion to give them a perfect score. Even movies like Fury Road, which was probably my favourite movie of the year so far, doesn't deserve a perfect score, I don't think.
Fury Road is a A++++++++++++
I've never seen a Rocky movie in my life, but because of Creeds success, I'm pretty motivated to watch the original now!!!!!!!
Stallone's signature role is obviously Judge Dredd.
You can't be serious lol.
it's Rambo actually.
I am the louaw
tpampouk LOUAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
LAAAAAAAAAAAAW
I was blown away by Creed! Being a huge Rocky fan, I felt this movie captured the heart and essence of the original film! And you're right! Best performance by Stallone in years.
Creed is amazing
Can't wait until they start showing this in Brazil. This is so up my alley.
And no Oscar Nomination For Mr. Jordan go figure
Louis Ruffin He was indeed great but there can only be 5 nominations
And another movie franchise Chris is a fan of and was since his younger years
Don't like the movie. Way to predictable.
That ok
Wow thanks Chris!!
you have made me so excited to see this!!!!
I was excited before because I'm a huge Rocky fan but now i am buzzing!!!!
I have to wait until January in England 😬
great review! I wish you will review Fargo the TV series anytime soon? hoping for that because I think its one of the best TV shows airing right now after Breaking Bad.
I am so glad to hear this! I Hated the idea of it initially. But when I heard that Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan were attached I suspected it to become awesome.
