    There's no reason this movie should be as good as it was. After that many sequels, then making a legacy sequel and it being this heart felt, this sincere and moving. And this well acted - I doubt many people would argue at Tessa Thompson or Michael B Jordan's acting skills, but Stallone is honestly criminally under rated.

      Underrated? I dunno about that. Other than ppl who like Stallone the person. As an actor he's played the same guy in every movie he's been in I think. I'm not stranger to liking bad actors. I love Seagal, he's hilarious...but I'd never call him underrated. Stallone didn't act in this movie. He memorized lines.

    15:59 August 2015 I lost my grandfather due to a stroke in the brain stem. I was out from football practice for two weeks spending time in the hospital as the docs tried different treatment options.
    I ran up and down the stairs, did Pushups in the waiting room, everything I could to stay in shape and get my head right. And every single nurse, doctor, and PA I passed on the stairs cheered me on.
    Seeing these moments in the film really got to me, because it reminded me of that time in my life.

    You know I never even considered how guarded Rocky must have become after getting betrayed by Tommy Gunn in Rocky V until you brought it up. Sure Adonis is Apollo's son, but Rocky's been burned by a lot of people so it would make sense why it took him visiting Adrian to move him forward with helping Adonis train.

    It is something very special that we get to enjoy a series maturing like this. Stallone is bringing something new and different to Rocky and its not only setting up a future for the series its also still being a role model to the fans who have grown with him. I am a mentor now, and my mentee means this much to me and I don't think I can express it this beautifully so I admire this version of Rocky.

    I'm a big fan of boxing movies, and have watched most all of them many, many times over the last 40 years. Creed probably did it the best. It certainly stands on some great shoulders, and the history it borrows boosts it in ways it wouldn't have on its own. But damn it delivers on every scene. Never a cheesy misstep, never a scene out of place. Everyone is a full character. The drama plays out exactly as the filmmaker wanted. I "believe" it more than even most of the other Rocky films. Belongs at or near the top of greatest sports/inspirational movies of all time. Thanks for doing this one.

    Maybe so, but it took them forever to build a statue of the real life Rocky, Joe Frazier.
    (I know Chuck Wepner was the inspiration Sylvester Stallone used to write Rocky but hear me out on this)
    Joe's from Philly, he worked in a slaughterhouse so he trained by actually punching meat, and he use to run the steps at the museum. He beat Muhammad Ali (The inspiration for Apollo Creed,) and he was known for having the most heart in the ring. Even when George Foreman knocked him down several times, he kept getting up. He's Rocky.

    IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME!!!
    I wrote a whole thesis on my complicated feeling with boxing and why, as well as my defense case for it before I watched the whole video and saw pretty much got all those point so instead I'm gonna talk about all the boxing stuff I love in this movie and mistakes it made! YAY!💀💀💀
    1. 2:40 The light heavyweight division is usually paper thin so the record and Donnie being able to knock him out is believable enough 😭
    2. 2:54 Danny Wheeler is played by former 2 weight division world champion and hall of famer and one of my most favorite fighters out all time Andre Ward. And that was his real record when he retired
    3. 4:11 time truly is undefeated and I just love that quote
    4. 5:13 Leo Sporino is played by 26W-16L warrior Gabriel Rosado. One of my faves, he's never won a title unfortunately but he's a DAWG, has an amazing resume despite the losses and always puts on a show. I've never met anyone that dislikes him.
    5. 5:13 Boxing promoters are the worst thing about boxing and I'm just gonna leave it at that
    6. 6:21 Jawn! :)
    7. 7:28 I always hated it when the bell sounded only for coach to tell me to keep going😭 painfully relatable, literally
    8. 7:55 EVERY BOXING GYM HAS A MIRROR!!! almost as essential as gloves or a jump rope. not a lot of people understand how important it is to actually SEE how ur whole body is moving when u throw a punch (ik it's filmed in a real gym but still). kinetic chain and all that
    9. 8:38 not everyone does it but it's important for some fighters to get up early so u can get in as much training as possible so you can rest and recover the rest of the evening which is arguably the most important.
    10. 9:06 ik he's an actor and he's actually gotten a lot better :D, but Jordan's pad work and form looks terrible 😭
    11. 9:13 accurate
    12. 9:49 it's not that hard lol. It's all about rhythm and practice but it can be tricky for new people.
    13. 10:19 everyone gets nerves before a before a BIG fight. if u get a chance to meet a fighter and they say no they're lying💀 also that's a real ref but idk his name.
    14. 12:11 trainers (the British guy specifically) don't do this
    15. 13:16 you might think it's unrealistic that he could get a title shit just cuz of his last name but you'd actually be surprised how often outside of the top 15 get cherry picked 🙄
    16. 16:25 for the film's purposes Jordan looks great but irl being as bulky as him just weighs you down and gases u out faster and it actually takes power off ur punches. Look up Anthony Joshua
    17. 17:21 this type of press conference jawing and stuff is usually for show but a lot of the time it's real genuine HATE all caps😭. Look up Alycia Baumgardner vs Milkaela Mayer
    18. 19:05 the fight woulda been stopped right here irl and Donnie woulda lost all respect all the BoXiNg ExPeRtS around the world would clown him and say he's got a glass jaw when I'm reality it was just a good shot
    19. 19:26 usually the ringside doctor would do this, not the ref. and any respectable trainer wouldn't allow this fight to go on, title or not. I'm disappointed in u Ricky :(
    20. 20:00 accurate
    22:22 agreed
    21. 22:50 if Drago didn't kill him the most that would happen is he would probably get his boxing license suspended for like a year. But death rarely happens IN the ring so idk what the consequences are for that🤷🏽‍♂️ also exhibitions rarely ever get THAT heated. The ref shoulda stopped it

    Watching Rocky Balboa got me into the Rocky movies when I was younger cause I was always the underdog when it came to sports. I ran cross country and track and I always tried my best but I got beat because I didn't have that natural talent. But knowing that no matter how hard I kept getting beat, I knew I always had the chance to get back up and try again like Rocky. Also Creed and Rocky Balboa both made me cry so there's that too. I always appreciate the kind of motivation that makes you want to be better you than before instead of being the best.

    I was watching this thinking "both Jordan and Thompson have been in the MCU. That's kinda cool." And then I realized, wait, crap, *so has Stallone* because the MCU is all-encompassing, all-powerful, and no one can escape its grasp.

Look up their numbers and awards, and forget everything you remember and heard.

    I think boxing and other combat sports definitely should exist, but I get what you’re saying. People have died and gotten hurt, of course, but action is emotion. Violence and martial arts are how we express cultural values and are a (mostly) safe way to express emotions. There’s a TTRPG I’m playing called Gubat Banwa that’s really good with this. Great video, though. I love this movie

    17:50 it's a callback to the line earlier that "women weaken legs" (itself a callback to Rocky 1), which refers to the belief that orgasming the night before a fight will weaken your stamina.

  • @LenGott8345

    In a way, this went step for step with the OG Rocky only this one had Creed's son getting the attention of the champ after he tried so hard to keep his true lineage a secret. (In the modern age we live in where the average person is a paparazzi just cause they have a phone with a camera, yeah. Luck with that one.) What I loved about this one was how they leaned into the lineage well without overdoing it. How organic the relationship between Adonis and Rocky grew with time and it wasn't just immediate.
    Creed 2 served as a super nice postmortem on the events of Rocky IV and I'll wax poetic about it next week. I think it's more emotionally gripping than this one was, for a lot of different reasons. I also like the way it blended something from Rocky 2 and meshed it perfectly with something that went down in Rocky 4. Oh speaking of, finding out who won that third fight in Creed filled in the blank as to why Apollo took the exhibition with Ivan. Rocky sorta kinda spelled out why he lost it apart from being across the ring from a PED enhanced Russian cyborg in human form throwing haymakers at him.
    Loved this movie, loved the second and excited to see where they take it for the third movie. (Hopefully it's the finale.)

    Speaking as a huge boxing fan, most trainers would only agree to keeping the fight going as long as that's what their fighter wants, and even then some won't risk it. Joe Frazier's corner forced him to quit during his last match with Muhammad Ali, even though he insisted on continuing. But he became completely blind in the fight because his only seeing eye became so swollen he couldn't see, so his trainers knew he'd be screwed.

    The thing is, also, a lot of managers DO book their fighters in fights they think they can win and they gradually increase the difficulty. They’ll never put their fighter in a fight with someone that’ll completely outclass them.
    As a martial artist, boxing among my arts, it’s about confidence. Most fights are won because you’re confident things will go your way. Plus, there are some fighters whose egos are way high. They lose, and they’re not a fighter anymore. They’re someone in shape that can throw punches.
    There’s a major philosophy that every fighter and martial artist has. There’s a difference.

    Great shoutout to tjlovesfights. This movie is the bomb and has a lot of things that are actually very representative of what professional boxing is like, particularly in regards to boxers and their undefeated records. Current undisputed lightweight champ Devin Haney as well as Canelo got a big start at a young age in Mexico padding their records before they were old enough to fight professionally in the US, and you see Adonis do that at the start of this movie

    I love all the Rocky/Creed films, they’re all so inspiring no matter what. But the one thing that bugged me about the character of Adonis is, Apollo seriously had an affair towards the end of his life and had a bastard as a result? Idk why but that kinda tarnished how cool and inspirational Apollo was. Well, to me at least. Also, he and Mary Anne had kids (shows them in Rocky II), but they strangely aren’t even acknowledged in these new films. That being said, I still love the character and the films and can’t wait for the third one next week.
