I think Balboa is underrated, but how is this so much better than that? Because Mike B Jordan is a better actor than Petrelli? There wasn't much special about the story and I think that Balboa covered the father-son-shadow of a legend dynamic better. AND it doesn't feel like a Philly movie. LOL

Netflix dropping 1-4 so imma go ahead and knock these out the way

Based on 1 so far, I'm not sure how Creed isn't considered the GOAT but I'm not done yet :patrice:

He seems to have the same problem I had. It's a good movie, hell, a great one even, but I think they made a huge mistake to repeat the ending from Rocky after Rocky Balboa already did it too. That's literally the one thing I hold against this movie.

It wouldn't have been realistic for Creed to win in this movie. He had one pro fight under his belt and was horribly matched.

Yeah exactly. I honestly would have had the problem they had IF he won. I wouldn't have been realistic to me.

Who's saying anything about having him win the fight? :why:

He could've lost in a hundred different ways in respectful fashion other than by split decision. Like have the fight stopped because of his swollen eye after taking another vicious punch in a round where he was starting to turn things around or something. They went for the copy/paste finale and it just kinda sucks because Stallone already did that himself with Rocky Balboa.
