Adonis Johnson (Michael B. Jordan) never knew his famous father, boxing champion Apollo Creed, who died before Adonis was born. However, boxing is in his blood, so he seeks out Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) and asks the retired champ to be his trainer. Rocky sees much of Apollo in Adonis, and agrees to mentor him, even as he battles an opponent deadlier than any in the ring. With Rocky's help, Adonis soon gets a title shot, but whether he has the true heart of a fighter remains to be seen.

Critics Consensus

Creed brings the Rocky franchise off the mat for a surprisingly effective seventh round that extends the boxer's saga in interesting new directions while staying true to its classic predecessors' roots.

Adonis and Rocky make one of the year's best cinematic pairings, their transition from strangers to acquaintances to partners to friends to something so much more absolutely exquisite.

It's a formula film, executed to near perfection. And it wields a secret weapon: our nostalgia for the original.

Ryan Coogler is quickly rising the ranks as one of my favorite directors working today. He arguably gives us the best film in the Rocky franchise, and it’s the saga’s seventh installment.

Michael B. Jordan is a star, and Sylvester Stallone turns his most iconic character of Rocky Balboa into one of the best supporting performances of the year.

Just when you were thinking: How long can Rocky keep fighting, this detour that introduces a new character, the illegitimate son of Apollo Creed, Adonis Creed, and brings fresh blood to stain the ring. A good transition for this boxing saga.

Rated: 3/5

Creed packs a punch with great performances and strong emotion. While the fights are thrilling, the story feels familiar. Still, a worthy addition to the Rocky legacy.

I’ve never been a fan of sports movies because I always thought they were too inspirational and kinda cheesy and even overlooked Rocky for a while. But this movie is definitely an exception. They did so well with the characters I was really emotionally attached to all of them throughout the film. A must-see even if your not a sports fan.

Loved it. Captured the old school Rocky nostalgia and put a modern twist on it. Great writing and a great story. Great fun.

Stallone is great yet again. They could have totally screwed this film up and spoiled some of Rocky’s legacy but it kept somewhat realistic. Adonis is no Apollo but that’s no great shame.
