First time watching CREED (Rocky will always make me cry!)

[@dimitrisionas9566]

There's not many series that can go multi generations and still keep a great standard. Creed is truly Rocky 7.

[@andrewj9831]

@@238Brotherhood Without "Rocky" their wouldn't be Creed....

[@dimitrisionas9566]

@@238Brotherhood I didn't mean any disrespect by it. I meant the opposite, that the titles are interchangeable, that Adonis Creed creates the same value as the earlier Rocky films. It's the highest compliment one can give a spin off.

[@didonna1974]

Creed is one of the best Rocky movies ever. Sly won a Golden Globe for his performance.

[@stonecoldku4161]

"Let me finish. I've got to prove it." "Prove what?" "I'm not a mistake." That's one of my favorite dialog exchanges in the entire Rocky/Creed cinematic universe. When he said that, you could feel the air leaving the theater. Everyone got the wind knocked out of them by that emotional gut punch.

[@Okidata29]

Amazing writing! "I'm not a mistake" is the ONLY reason Rocky didn't stop the fight. It's a callback to 1976: "..and if I can go that distance, you see, and that bell rings and I'm still standin', I'm gonna know for the first time in my life, see, that I weren't just another bum from the neighborhood" Seeing the subtle blink of understanding on Rocky's face after Adonis said that... it's for moments like that which makes going to see movies with an audience worth it.

[@jdneilso]

This line cut me deep because I always felt I was a mistake.

[@Dizzy473]

It's the closing lines to that scene as well that hit the feels. "I'm gonna knock that son of a bitch down" "I know you are. You know why? Because you're a Creed and I love ya kid" Then the often missed reply from Donnie "I love you too"

[@smartalec2001]

It contextualises all his behaviour, attitude and actions throughout the movie.

[@Shockwave99999]

Did u comment this same thing word for word in other reaction vids?

[@zbennalley]

That locker room scene between Rocky and Creed always gets me. He was robbed of an Oscar Nomination for that scene alone.

[@thedefinitionisthis]

For me, I always feel like the scene that got Sly nominated was the one where Rocky is told he has cancer. Like, THAT is acting. You see him go through the range of emotions in just his face. From just the shock of it, to his acceptance. And it's also worth noting that while he doesn't really break while being told he has cancer, the only time he comes close to crying is when he's offered a chance at chemo, and he replies fighting through brief tears: "My wife tried that." That scene just tells a story that could be interpreted as him not necessarily worrying about what he'll go through; it's about remembering how hard it was for Adrian.

[@zbennalley]

@@thedefinitionisthis the whole movie is that way for me.

[@lexkanyima2195]

When I saw this in theaters, I bawled when Rocky was diagnosed with cancer. Rocky is a huge part of my life.

[@2971username]

What’s makes the Rocky franchise so special and irreplaceable is we get to watch the character of a great man over his lifetime. For me that happened over a 40 year process when I saw Rocky in the movie theatre in 77. Your generation is lucky. You get to watch it unfold in the matter of days, weeks or months depending on how much you want to binge. When I was in college I made my girlfriend (now my wife) binge Rocky 1-5 all in one day. Now she just shakes her head as she looks over my shoulder to catch me watching another KZbinr reacting to this masterpiece!

[@maximillianosaben]

The sequel has one emotional moment that I never could have seen coming no matter how hard I imagined. Was so surprised that it even happens, but it absolutely got me.

[@Robj007]

Which moment?

[@maximillianosaben]

@@Robj007 - Didn't want to spoil, but I think it's safe from Addie seeing now. Drago throwing in the towel because he doesn't want to see his son hurt anymore. Would never have expected that from his character walking into the movie.

Welcome to Creed Trilogy!!

[@videostash413]

Only the first one exists.

[@cmcgccjsl]

Ryan Coogler is just a dang genius. He came up with the idea for this continuation of the Rocky universe and story, and just cast it perfectly with Michael B Jordan and Tessa Thompson as this generation's Rocky and Adrian. For these movies and Black Panther Coogler has a fan in me for life.

[@lexkanyima2195]

It was a good time

[@67Daidalos]

This movie came out 3 years after Sage Stallone, Sylvester's son, passed away. I can't imagine how emotional shooting the scene where Adonis pick the photo with both of them from the Rocky 5 movie should have been for him.

[@lexkanyima2195]

It was harsh

[@redensign24]

sylvester stalboa is a national treasure

[@jasonknotts5001]

Best thing I heard all year! Laughed my ass off 😂

[@darrenleone6988]

I saw 'Creed' at a sneak preview night before it opened nationwide. The audience was engaged from the opening scene, and reacted to favorably at the humorous, the dramatic, and the heart-tugging moments throughout this movie. One of the biggest reactions came when Adonis rose from his corner in the final round in his match against "Pretty" Ricky Conlan. When the "Gonna Fly Now" (Rocky theme) music hit, the packed theater erupted in cheers. Sitting in the middle of the theater, that moment gave me chills as my eyes were darting from watching the audience and the action on the movie screen. Awesome movie from start to finish!!

[@DerKlambers]

For me this will always be Stallones best performance in any movie he particpated in :)

[@kevinnelson66]

If given the chance I would definitely thank Sly for bringing Rocky to life.

[@patrickwaldeck6681]

I saw this in theaters and it got one of the craziest audience responses I've ever seen when the Rocky theme starts playing, People in my theater were cheering, it was absolute chaos.

[@mrantdagreat]

Aside from the great performances, directing and storyline, this has the heart of the first film. That’s why this one is so so good.

[@chaospoet]

Rocky going through Chemo was so painful for me to watch when I saw this in theaters. I had just lost my old man to Cancer and had spent a year doing what Adonis was doing. Being around him around the clock. Carrying him to the bathroom to be sick. Bringing him to his doctor appointments. I did it all. I FELT those scenes intimately. I applaud this movie for not shying away and making it as realistic as they could get away with.

[@stewart1555]

Adonis being angry and pushing away Rocky, yeah that scene hard to watch (it hurts) because Rocky is such a genuine guy [great acting from both of them].

[@carriemichelle322]

As a born and raised Philly chic, I absolutely LOVE the Creed series. First 2 are my favorites! Can't wait for you to see the next one!! ❤

[@videostash413]

This one is great, the next is awful

[@jdneilso]

The one thing that most of the people that review this movie miss...When he plays the fight between Apollo and Rocky, he's fighting Apollo, not Rocky.

[@shanewillis316]

Props to Michael B. Jordan. During filming he took a punch that KO'd him. Sly posted it as a behind the scenes video. He asked for it to see what it would be like to get hit that hard.

[@MarkGuerrero-cz9bh]

This was a very therapeutic film for Stallone His son Sage, who played Robert in Rocky 5 died from a heart attack a few years before and like previous rocky films, a lot of the film reflects some of his experiences The picture of young Robert and Rocky is actually a personal family photo that the director had to convince Stallone to let them have

[@ridleysaria]

I don't cry during movies but this one really messed me up. I saw it shortly after my father lost his fight to Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, so you can imagine the personal feelings I had about it.

[@davidl7605]

If you grew up watching these movies since back in the day when the first one came out, Rocky kind of feels like your uncle who lives far away and you only get to see every few years.

[@stop_your_bs]

These movies are going to hit so differently now that Carl Weathers is gone

[@Jason-bk3nl]

This is a great father/son movie. Definitely one of the best movies in the Rocky universe.

[@DoremiFasolatido1979]

Stallone is easily one of the top action stars of all-time. But because of the Rocky franchise, he's also cemented a place as not only a great action star...but also a great actor, a great writer, and a great director. I'm not usually one for hyping up any celebrity, but I'll always give them their due along with whatever critiques I have. Sly has plenty to criticize over the years, and the Rocky franchise hasn't always been the best, but he's definitely grossly underrated in everything he's put his hand to. Creed itself isn't only a great addition to the Rocky franchise, and an excellent passing of the torch, it's just a great film in its own right. And it is indeed a film, and not merely a movie.

[@Kap00rwith2os]

Sylvester Stalboa! Gotta say I never heard that one before, I like it 👍 😂

[@kevinnelson66]

I wonder if anyone has ever called Sly that.

6:46 I figured out that Apollo won that third fight when, in "Rocky IV", Apollo, during the press conference, said, when asked why he was so sure that he could beat Drago, "Because, I've been with the best and I've beat the best."

[@briandiggs3508]

Thats why Rocky 4 was disrespectful to Apollo Creed character. He beat rocky in his prime but couldn't last 2 rounds with Drago. Creed was good enough to last longer with Drago then that

Stallone has been on the receiving end of a lot of criticism during his long career (not unfairly at times) but I’ll be damned if anyone can watch how he plays Rocky’s diagnosis scene and tell me he can’t act afterwards. His mannerisms, facial expressions, eyes and tone of voice, it’s an acting masterclass.

[@KillingJoke96]

Pretty Ricky's actor is an actual boxer in real life. His name his Tony Bellew. He is retired now but he still works many big fights regularly as a commentator. Bellew hit Michael B. Jordan for real at 29:06 as its a right of passage to take a real punch. Bellew reckoned he only gave it 40% so as to not really hurt Jordan, but Jordan reckoned he felt like he got hit by a car for days after. Just goes to show how powerful boxers are and how dangerous it is to step in the ring for real.

That being said, Creed is a masterpiece. It works on every level from the directing to cinematography to writing to acting and (of course) to music. The pacing is sublime, and the fights were cinematic artistry. It was thrilling, emotional, and thought-provoking, all while remaining consistently entertaining. I think it's one of those movies that's gonna get even more appreciated as times goes by. Ryan Coogler really outdid himself with this one.

[@kevinnelson66]

Stallone tried to get the rights to the Rocky character from producer Irvin Winkler because he wants to produce a prequel film focusing on Rocky's teenage years, but Winkler isn't having any of that. Sly should have thought of negotiating ownership of the characters when he sold the screenplay for the first Rocky film to Irvin Winkler in 1975/76.
