If you keep your expectations low I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

It was made for a very modest $35 million in respects of movies today, considering Robert Downey Jnr was paid $40 million for the last Avengers movie.

It made its money back and then some on its first weekend release and kept strong, and so far has grossed $102 million before even the international release.

Reviews have been surprisingly good as well. Not saying it's the next Rocky III or even IV, it's not even Rocky's story to tell, he is just a supporting character. Everyone loves an underdog. 

Really LAO?

Gonna try and get a stream tonight in that case?   

Just watched it tonight with Mrs Sieb. Both big Rocky fans before we met, and we both loved this one too.

The trailer doesn't do it justice in my opinion. At all.

Film experts always talk about how great the "one take" shot is in Goodfellas when Ray Liotta is walking into the Copacabana, but fuck me that first proper fight Creed had was one take, from walking through the curtains on the way to the ring right up until the end of the fight, incredible how they managed to pull that off.

Also how great was Stallone, again, as Rocky. No hyperbole but the man deserves an Oscar nomination at the very least for supporting actor. Sadly I think he will be overlooked again.

Would recommend it for sure, just keep in mind this Isn't the type of Rocky film when Stallone was in his pomp, when the characters and fighters were larger than life, this is more based in reality. This is a sometimes sober reminder of how hard life can be and how much enjoyment we can get from getting caught up in rooting for the underdog no matter what the 'fight' is.

Some deserved recognition at long last.

You're correct Siebby,he gave a great performance in 'Creed'.
