The storyline was very captivating and not AS predictable. Humor was natural and not forced. Even had a sit on the edge of your seat fight, reminiscent of 1st Creed-Rocky fight...surprise throw back with its own twist or presentation The cinematography was amazing! Missed seeing Rocky but I knew he wasn't going to be in it and it stood strong without him. We purchased Creed, Creed 2 and as soon as we are able, we will grab Creed 3.
