Creed

Creed directed by Ryan Coogler, starring Michael B. Jordan and Sylvester Stallone.

A good continuation of the Rocky movie.  Nothing really new here, though which is OK.  All the typical themes, motifs, and story plot points are all hit here but the main character played by Michael B. Jordan does a wonderful job of selling this movie.  His charisma and acting ability alone are worth watching this movie for as he continues to prove he was no fluke in the little known movie Chronicle and every other movie he's been in since that one.  This movie is odd in that it's like a reboot but yet not one that feels gimmicky.  This reboot feels more organic in tone than most which feel more forced.  Not a classic movie by an means but a good one to pass the time and a good continuation of the Rocky franchise.
