    Everyone needs to check out this movie. Especially fans of the Rocky franchise. It was fantastic. Maybe my favorite film of 2015.

    Stallone does great job as Rocky in his 7th film appearance. Probably the best he has been since the original.

    Jordan is also great as Creed's son. I won't say anymore, but would be nice to discuss with people who saw it.

    I saw this opening weekend, and it was really good. One of the better movies I've seen lately.

    Great film...I saw it past weekend and forgot to mention it. All credit goes to Coogler, the writer, and Jordan/Sly.
    Jordan must be so thankful this film came out this year after that travesty of a movie call Fantastic Four

    Loved the story and boxing scenes. The score was good too...I liked Adonis Creed

    Also once this score hit near the end, you can't help but get goosebumps

    Streamed it the other day and it was ok...I kinda thought it was unoriginal and overrated. It's basically Rocky 1 with with Creed in Rocky's role and Rocky in Mickey's role.

    Yes, a modernized version of Rocky I. The beauty of it was it could have felt unoriginal and cheesy, but it did not. It was great.

    Yeah it was so good I didn't even care it was loosely reminiscent of Rocky the original with a few other elements added in.

    It definitely wasn't cheesy it was well done, but I did find it unoriginal. It is pretty much your run of the mill underdog story. I personally thought 2006 Rocky Balboa was a better movie.

    He'll do anything for a buck now. I guess he can count his lucky stars that he's still getting movie deals and not doing commercials for mobile games like Arnie is now.

    Not sure whether either of them really need to make a buck anymore.

    Sly is worth almost half a billion and Arnie is worth about $300 million.

    I think they do a lot of stuff overseas that makes them millions. I guess they just need to keep their names relatively relevant.

    It's always rubbed me the wrong way that Sly's claim to fame was ripping off Chuck Wepners life.
