‘Creed III’ Review – One of Us
Is Michael B. Jordan’s directorial debut worth seeing? Check out the One of Us crew’s Creed III review to find out.
Hard to believe that there are now actually nine films in the Rocky film franchise, even if Creed III counts as the first one that doesn’t actually have the character in the film (he is mentioned once). Michael B. Jordan has decidedly made the boxing series his own with his heavyweight champion Adonis Creed, son of Rocky’s old nemesis and then friend, Apollo.
Adonis has proved himself and has settled comfortably into boxing retirement, at least from being in the ring. He manages a young boxer who is rocketing to the top himself and has a happy family life with his wife (Tessa Thompson) and young daughter. But messing up his equilibrium is an old friend who reappears.
Damian was Adonis’ older friend who was himself on the fast track to becoming a professional boxer but who got sent to prison for defending Adonis with a gun. Decades later, he hasn’t wasted any prison time going to seed, and he comes out hungry to get back to where he left off. He comes to Adonis asking for a shot at the title. But Damian isn’t as clear-headed or as nice as he seems, and he’s willing to do whatever it takes to be the king.
