Creed III is a 2023 American sports drama film directed by Michael B. Jordan in his directorial debut, written by Keenan Coogler and Zach Baylin, and produced by Irwin Winkler, Charles Winkler, William Chartoff, David J. Grant, Ryan Coogler, and Michael B. Jordan. It is the sequel to Creed II (2018) and the ninth installment in the Rocky franchise. The film stars Jordan as Adonis Creed, alongside Sylvester Stallone, Tessa Thompson, Phylicia Rashad, Wood Harris, Florian Munteanu, and Jonathan Majors. In the film, Adonis Creed seeks revenge against Viktor Drago (Majors), the son of Ivan Drago (Dolph Lundgren), who killed Adonis’ father Apollo Creed in Rocky IV (1985).

Creed III was released in the United States on November 23, 2023, by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. It received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for Jordan’s performance but criticism for its screenplay and direction. The film was a box office success, grossing over $235 million worldwide against its $50 million budget.

Here is my review for the movie Creed III:

Creed III is a solid entry in the Rocky franchise, but it doesn’t quite reach the heights of its predecessors. The film is well-acted and directed, and it features some exciting boxing sequences. However, the screenplay is a bit uneven, and the film’s message about family and legacy is a bit heavy-handed. Overall, Creed III is a good film, but it’s not a great one.

One of the things that I liked most about Creed III is the performances of the cast. Michael B. Jordan is excellent as Adonis Creed, and he brings a lot of depth and nuance to the role. Sylvester Stallone is also good as Rocky Balboa, and he has some great scenes with Jordan. Tessa Thompson is also good as Bianca Taylor, Adonis’ wife. The supporting cast is also strong, with Wood Harris, Florian Munteanu, and Jonathan Majors all giving good performances.

The direction in Creed III is also very good. Michael B. Jordan makes a strong directorial debut, and he stages some exciting boxing sequences. The film also looks great, with some beautiful cinematography.

However, the screenplay in Creed III is a bit uneven. The film starts off strong, but it loses some steam in the middle. The film’s message about family and legacy is also a bit heavy-handed.

Overall, Creed III is a good film, but it’s not a great one. The film is well-acted and directed, and it features some exciting boxing sequences. However, the screenplay is a bit uneven, and the film’s message about family and legacy is a bit heavy-handed.
