ComicBook.com: “with Creed III“The franchise achieves what Adonis set out to achieve, getting a movie that steps right out of the looming shadow of Balboa and Stallone that avoids the limitations of typical sports dramas to bend fully to the heart of our lead character, instead using those sports imagery to ramp up the tension.” .

Hollywood Reporter: “Jordan uses the full power of IMAX to direct some glorious fight scenes. The ace musical supervision raises our sense of the stakes of each bout long before the athletes enter the ring. Not only does Adonis’ montage and Damien’s training remember the scenes in [Ryan] Coogler creed; It also gives viewers a chance to bask in the aesthetic glory of our customers. Jordan borrows from his passion for animation – along with his energetic cast – to choreograph encounters as if they were modern dance. We see the ring from each fighter’s perspective, to live in their minds as they plan their next move. These flourishes will surely please many fans of the franchise, even as the narrative – why we keep watching Adonis fight in and out of the ring – disappoints us.”

Entertainment Weekly:”Creed III It suffers from a certain lack of heft and idiosyncrasy in the storytelling structure, and a sense that the original magic isn’t all there. But it’s also often better than the last film’s blistering melodrama, which similarly suffered when it was an original. creed Director Ryan Coogler departed to take over Black Panther He was replaced by the little-known Stephen Capley Jr.

Watchman: “While the shaking is still being felt across the world after the lackluster last week ant Man threequel, next week delivers a much-needed balm, a rare sequel that comes close to restoring one’s faith in the value and legitimacy of the franchise as a concept, the latest chapter in what may be the best we have now.. while the series may not reach the heights of the first creed A movie (a near-perfect balance of heart, head, and fist), it’s incredibly satisfying to watch the sequel made with real purpose and patience. “

ribbedIn his directorial debut, Jordan, a fan of the anime and manga, brings a cinematic touch the series has never seen before, expanding the visual language of the Hollywood boxing movie in fascinating ways…the approach sometimes works against the nature of the earlier saga, but Creed III He has enough visual acumen to snoop over his accidental non-narrative. But its strongest suit is its creators’ desire to weave a character-centric tale that doesn’t repeat the beats of the Rocky movies, by the way creed And The second dogma Follow the broad structure of rocky And Rocky IV. “

almost: “while Creed III It ticks the boxes with training montages, family drama, and an exhilarating finale, it’s a formula that’s just as inspiring as it was when Rocky Balboa took on Apollo Creed in 1976.”

Starring: Michael B Jordan, Tessa Thompson, Jonathan Majors, Wood Harris, Florian Munteanu, Mila Kent, and Phylicia Rashad. Creed III It only hits theaters on March 1st.
