[@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]

[@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.

[@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

[@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]

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@redensign24]

[@jasonknotts5001]

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

[@akcamaro85]

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

[@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!!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

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.

[@ChrisReise]

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

[@andrewj9831]

@@briandiggs3508 Creed wasn't ready..and he took it as a joke... I seen too many MMA/martial arts/fighters/etc (some semi-well known) get beat in a bar fight. A few where they picked the fight, and lost in seconds. I think 50% of that was because they wasn't ready and over/under estimated. However this happens a lot with athletes in the "off" season...

[@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].

[@jmhaces]

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.

[@seanmc1351]

as you said, rocky and adriane, the greatest on screen romance of all time, im 60 years old, i was brought up with rocky having to wait for the next ones, from the 70 and 80 and further on, But what warms my heart, it watching a new genration, being able to binge watch, and feel what we felt, not just that, but how you get it the whole, concept, well done, great reaction

Because this is a condensed version of your reaction, I don't know if you know this, but the coach at the first gym Donnie went to (Apollo's gym) was Duke JUNIOR, Apollo's trainer's son.

I watched this movie in 2016 when it came out, in theaters, 6 times. This is the same year Mad Max Fury Road and SW: with Finn & Rey (I don’t remember the title) came out. I saw Fury Road 6 times as well and SW 3 times (mostly because it was new and Hanand Leia were in it).

[@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

[@youngzee8]

This one definitely hits you differently after Carl’s actual death.

[@TerellHayward]

29:27 I swear the way he got up after seeing his father was like Apollo possessing him or telling him wake up son and finish this fight!

[@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.

[@thetoxic_brit7905]

my favorite part of creed is that he doesn't win avoids the typical ending

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.

To avoid confusion in Creed 3. Rocky isn't in it because of behind the scenes issues with the rights holders. He's not gone and he didn't die or anything. He even said he wants to be in a Creed 4 if it happens.

[@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.
