Creed III deja a Rocky fuera del ring para enfocarse en algo más crudo: el pasado que regresa con ganas de cobrar factura. La película funciona porque el conflicto no es solo físico, es emocional. Las peleas están filmadas con estilo y peso, pero lo que realmente pega son las miradas, el silencio y la tensión entre Adonis y Damian. Michael B. Jordan demuestra que puede cargar la saga solo, y Jonathan Majors entrega un villano complejo y magnético. Es intensa, madura y de esas que te dejan apretando el puño incluso después de que terminan los créditos.

excellent conclusion of the trilogy, creed lives its own life, rocky from the last part to rest, showed once again the continuity of generations, but this time with the mistakes of youth

I finally watched creed 3 and great film! Terrific acting and the boxing had you captivated the whole time. I don’t think you necessary need to see the other two movies before watching this one but at least watch two. Amazing job from Tessa, Michael and Johnathan! I wouldn’t mind another installment with a good plot ! I would highly recommend this watch.

The movie portrays the reentry of Adonis just after retirement. His past and possible future is showcased very smoothly. The creed series steps out of the shadows of the rocky series in this story.

This is a really good sports drama. It's stand alone as well so you don't need to have watched the previous Creed films or Rocky to understand this one. A lot of the action scenes take inspiration from video games and anime (director Michal B Jordan even acknowledged this) which is refreshingly different to watch.

The movie is good, but some parts feel very formulaic and predictable,plus at the end of it feels like it all was very predictable how it will end and with the big fight and all. So that is why I am not giving it a bit higher rating.

Creed III. Mistakes of the past. The film "Creed III" is an exciting continuation of the story of the legendary Rokkian legacy. First-time director Michael B. Jordan skillfully combines fast-paced boxing matches with character development to make the film intense and entertaining. Michael B. Jordan is once again excellent as Adonis Creed, but this time he is not only boxing, but also searching for his place in the world. The masterfully choreographed fight scenes and emotional depth of the characters make each fight meaningful, and the film brings new life to martial arts cinema. "Creed III" explores themes of family, identity and personal courage. In addition, the film successfully combines new dynamic characters with familiar historical plots, allowing the viewer to plunge into an exciting journey of training, fame and betrayal. "Creed III" is not only a sequel, but also a new era in the Creed story, bringing a fresh take on the classic history of sports dramas and amazing boxing action.

IN A NUTSHELL: He’s back! Adonis has been thriving in both his career and family life, but when a childhood friend and former boxing prodigy resurfaces, the face-off is more than just a fight. Congratulations to Michael B. Jordan for directing this movie, as well as starring in it! He was the Executive Producer of the 2018 Creed II, and now he’s ready for the big show. He loves anime, so you actually see some influences from Dragon Ball Z and Naruto in the film. The writing team consists of Keenan Coogler, Zach Baylin, and Ryan Coogler. THINGS I LIKED: The terrific cat includes Michael B. Jordan, Tessa Thompson, Jonathan Majors, Wood Harris, Phylicia Rashad, and Thaddeus J. Mixson as the young Adonis Creed. I’ve never seen a bad performance by Michael B. Jordan. As expected, he’s great in this movie. Jonathan Majors looks amazing and does a fantastic job. You should also check out his recent performance in Devotion. Little Mila Davis-Kent is totally adorable as Creed’s daughter. She’s deaf in real life. Amazing slow-motion boxing shots. Wow. For all of you fellow nerds out there, you’ll be interested to know that this 3rd movie in the Creed series is being released on the 3rd day of the 3rd month in the 3rd year of the 3rd decade of the third millennium of the Common Era. It’s fun to hang out in Adonis Creed’s gorgeous house. I love that the movie features some of the pageantry in boxing when both boxers parade into the arena with their music and entourage before the big fight. That’s always my favorite part of boxing matches. One of my sons was a boxer for a short time. My husband thinks boxing is the coolest sport ever. I love training montages, except I felt like such a slug watching it while sitting on my butt and eating while watching. I definitely need to work out harder. Ha ha Hard-hitting soundtrack! I’m always amazed at how they film boxing scenes to make them look so real. I thought the scenes that just showed the two of them, alone, in a ring were especially effective and offered the perspective of how personal the fight was for the two men. Many of the famous boxing announcers and TV personalities offer cameo performances. I always get a kick out of that because it lends credibility to the scenes as if they’re in real-life. THINGS I DIDN’T LIKE: Sylvester Stallone does not appear in this sequel, which is a shame. He crafted the Rocky character and franchise, but was, sadly, left out of this new addition. That seems super disrespectful to ole Sly, as well as a disappointment to many fans. He hasn’t hidden his frustration about being shut down by Ryan Coogler and Irwin Winkler, saying he’ll never watch this movie. What’s really missing in this sequel is the heart and soul that Rocky always gave us. I assume we’re going to see Bianca competing in the ring one of these days, eh? Act 3 feels very rushed compared to the first two acts. For example, we see Dane call out Adonis in a show, and then, suddenly, they’re training and in the ring. There’s no conversation between Adonis and his wife who, surely, would have a strong opinion about his fighting again after so many physical dangers to his battered body. We see her hugging him as he enters the ring, clearly supporting him in his decision to fight again. It just felt like a huge jump in time and story. Like all of the movies in the Rocky and Creed universe, this film is extremely predictable. TIPS FOR PARENTS: Sign language and Spanish are spoken with subtitles. Lots of fighting action in and outside of the boxing ring. Talk of jail time. A girl gets in trouble at school for punching another student. Some of the music has explicit profanity and offensive language, including the “N” word. Some young teens get in a fight with a gun when cops arrive on the scene.

The Creed series centers on Adonis Creed, the son of Apollo Creed (Carl Weathers), the antagonist/friend of Rocky (Sylvester Stallone) in the original series. In the first two Creed films, Rocky mentors Adonis (Michael B. Jordan) as he begins his boxing career and, in a formulaic development, works to become world champion. Here, there’s no Rocky to be found. Consider that a benefit, because it allows this film to be considerably deeper, darker and more nuanced than anything that would have occurred with Stallone hanging **** a series of flashbacks, we’re introduced to a fifteen-year-old Adonis who gets into a fight with a man who beat him while he was a young boy in foster care. During the altercation, Adonis’ friend Damian (Jonathan Majors) pulls a gun. Damian gets arrested and goes to prison for eighteen years. Adonis flees the scene and the consequences of his actions. After getting out of prison, Damian reconnects with Adonis. By this time, Adonis has retired from boxing. He’s ensconced in a gorgeous house in the Hollywood Hills with an equally gorgeous family. He runs the Delphi Boxing Academy and has the leverage to be a high-level boxing promoter. He’s a man with everything to lose. Soon enough, it’s apparent that Damian has returned to take from Adonis everything he believes was stolen from him when he was sent to prison. Damian goads Adonis into a match for the world championship. The obligatory training montages ensue, but with a recognition that this has become a full-blown cliché. At one point, Adonis dons a harness and pulls an airplane, although it’s only a two-seat **** cast is excellent. Michael B. Jordan is his typical captivating self. Jonathan Majors is clearly having a moment. He has 18 acting credits since 2019 including “Lovecraft Country” and appearing in the latest regrettable Marvel fiasco. His Damian is simultaneously menacing, thuggish and vulnerable. Tessa Thompson (“Westworld,” “Sorry to Bother You”) is solid as Adonis’ wife, Briana, a pop star who is losing her hearing. Their daughter Amara, scene-stealing deaf actress Mila Davis-Kent in her feature film debut, offers an opportunity for Adonis to demonstrate his humanity. Scenes of the parents signing with Amara are actually quite touching.This film explores a lot of themes unassociated with sports movies in general and or with the previous movies in this series. Although it’s still a compelling boxing movie, “Creed III” is ultimately a story with other, broader intentions. Examining the adult relationship between Adonis and Damian, it explores issues around pain, loss and the nature of friendship. It addresses the gulf between the haves and have-nots through Adonis’ sense of obligation to his former friend and his awkward attempts to help. Along the way, it even suggests that there are approaches to masculinity other than brooding manliness, unbridled aggression and emotional distance.While the ending of the film is underwhelming, the story generally moves at a fast pace that makes its flaws easy to overlook. As a first-time director, Jordan shows a competence and confidence behind the camera that rival his magnetism in front of it. Overall, “Creed III” breathes new life into a franchise that had clearly lost some of its punch.

This movie is nothing like the originals that this movie tries to take advantage of. Where is Rocky?

The drama has some low moments, but visually it's the more interesting film in the saga

Very good boxing movie. The fights in this third installment are spectacular!

Not a bad movie and not a good one. Middle of the road all the way around. Missing Rocky to which imo helped the first two. Even if he had a small role it would’ve helped.

Possibly has the weakest boxing scenes of any of the Creed or even the Rocky movies. Michael B. Jordan tries to be too stylish with the slow motion and etc. The story and performances are at least good. It’s funny how Jonathan Majors pays the older one of the two former friends. When Michael B. Jordan is 36 and Majors is 33. I was into the main fight until it pretty much turned into a silly dream sequence. That was more about the cgi than the fight. By the time it got back to reality, I barely cared anymore about the fight. There was too much style. That takes you out of the fight. With the last fight weaker than maybe any from a Rocky or Creed movie. The movie is more about the friendship and their history than the fight but still the fight was weak.

Well made (but highly predictable) sequel to the Rocky / Creed franchise is entertaining and has some pretty great fight scenes. However, the novelty of the series has run its course and believe it or not, not having Stallone involved actually hurt this installment.

It has moments of good directing, acting, and cinematography. Both actors look **** whole thing just feels so redundant. Nothing surprising happens. Predictable, repetitive, anticlimactic, bland, vacuous, boxing movie. The central conflict is toilet paper thin. The montages are so typical and reused, it almost feels like a parody. The boxing genre is a failed genre at this point. Please do something new someday!!

Alright movie but it got away from what made this movie great. No Stallone in this one either. Now he's retiring already. Kind of dumb. I want to see him box more maybe more fights. It's always just one fight. Idk he's to young to retire and I don't want to watch him become a trainer now just like rocky.

Formulaic, but well made. Would have loved to watch this as a television series.

I think Creed III was very entertaining but not as good as the last two. The stakes don't feel as high in this one and I thought that the dramatic punch that the finale of both the first and second had was missing here. I think the pacing is very good and there is never a scene that drags. I feel like this movie would have benefitted from being a bit longer and develop why Donnie fighting Damian was actually worth it. Jonathan Majors is electric in this film and the film blows by really quickly.

Honestly, a great movie. Michael B. Jordan does a great job in his directorial debut. I like how the plot is based on Adonis Creed and not off of his father or Rocky. The end fight is amazing.

ok thats it for the creed franchise - its done well so leave it at that yeah

Inconsistant story saved by the musical atmosphere of a Rocky movie. Yes, it's still a Rocky spinoff. Despite the tragedy, I found it difficult to attach myself to the characters. The preparation for the fight was shown too little. -1 pt for the feminist propaganda. +1 pt for the absence of LGBTQ+ propaganda.

CREED 3 is a good movie and very fun. I am happy to see we can have a boxing movie without Rocky (Let the dude retire, he deserves it by now!). There is really good character development around the main cast, though most of the side characters tended to blend together; no Michael Peña from Ant-Man here, but that is fine, it should be about Creed and his family, after all. They did pretty good with Drago and left me wanting a spin-off and seeing him become champion! I wouldn't be against a Rocky Cinematic Universe. I also really enjoyed the music quite a bit, even though I don’t really listen to rap. All the orchestral and rap music fit the scenes and vibe of the film. And the boxing scenes may be some of the best looking yet. Like in every Rocky and Creed film, they try new cinematography ideas for the boxing scenes; they were pretty interesting. There were a few scenes I thought were a bit off, but nothing egregious. I did like the antagonist (though I wish they did a better job explaining his specific crime and length of time in prison) as it is one that feels multidimensional and has motivations that are understandable. If you are a fan of the Creed films, this is the third good one in a row and suggest it to any fans of the series. The movie is not perfect as the writing can be rough around the edges, but I enjoyed most of the film and it left me wanting more.

We gotta talk about some issues with the movie and yes there are good amount of issues. And this is alright movie .Firstside plot they show Creed daughter getting bully from a cartoon villain. Got a fight with her and than it doesn't get bring up again. So what's the point? For a tie end story . Second side plot Bianca she retired from singing and Dane is is taking to guilt shame her this girl is singing her song . Number three killing her mom was lazy and trying to copy from Rocky 3 . Even Dane character started out good like clubber Lang than it went Abit really really is this happening.

This was yet another excellent chapter in the Rocky/Creed series, however it's also one of the most aesthetically unique. As this is Michael B. Jordan's first film as a director, I think he is still figuring things out and doesn't quite get the look he was trying for. Also, the movie suffers a little bit to transition between acts; it always feels a little abrupt. Having said that, the rest of the film is effective. The main plus is the antagonist; Jonathan Majors portrays one of the rocky/creed series' most nuanced and engaging antagonists. Outside of him, the battle sequences are superb, the character development is outstanding, and the training montages are strong. Where Michael B. Jordan's style really shines are the combat sequences.

Horrible!!! I hate this movie because isn't Rocky movie. I not recomended to watch it

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

As a Rocky fan who didn't really love Creed II, I thought Creed III was the true sequel to the first Creed (which I hold in high regard and the best Rocky film besides the first). Similar narrative themes can be found from writer Ryan Coogler's other films like Creed, Black Panther, and Fruitvale Station but Creed III's unique identity definitely comes from new-director Michael B. Jordan, who infuses his own sensibilities and tastes into every scene. Especially the fight sequences. The film's core story felt similar to Rocky V but done in the right way; solid performances, great cinematography, well-paced editing, and clear directionality to the narrative. The film charts into more familiar and predictable territory near the half way marker where character, unfortunately, take a turn into cliche stereotypes and lose a bit of humanity. Emotional clarity is lost during training montages and what's at stake is a little muddled. Fortunately, it does end off on a high note with a satisfactory conclusion. I truly did feel like the absence of Sylvester Stalone's Rocky was not only missed, but could've been narratively powerful, sending the film soaring. His absence doesn't compromise the film altogether but would've been a good film truly great with the right scene.

I love the Rocky franchise. It has its lows and its over-the-top entries but for the most part, this series has been mostly hits than misses. Creed was a spinoff and I never expected to enjoy it so immensely. I loved Creed 1 and Creed 2 which is why I was hoping for a hat trick with Creed 3. There was some worry as this is the first entry without Rocky. it was also Michael B. Jordan's directorial debut with him starring as Creed and directing. So does it succeed or is this a miss? Firstly, Michael did a great job in his directorial debut. He pushes the Creed movies out of Rocky's shadow and gives it more grit. The fights feel more visceral and flashy with some clear anime-inspired influence. He uses a lot of slow-mo which leads to some nice-looking shots. I also think the boxing intro and montage were also really well shot as well. He also does something interesting in the final fight that involves silence which gave it a new feel. The soundtrack was awesome and the cinematography is great. He also gives darker qualities to the story with the backstory and personal connection with the antagonist Damian (Jonathan Majors). On that note, Jonathan Majors is terrific as the antagonist. I love his performance, with the subtle awkwardness and slightly pained expression in the first half. Then in the second half, we get to see Jonathan give an arrogant, menacing performance when he goes full bad guy. I also enjoyed how sympathetic he is as a character as well. You understand why Adonis would help him. Additionally, Michael continues to give a great performance as Adonis Creed with the amount of emotional moments in this film. There is great chemistry between Michael and Jonathan which made the friendship between their characters feel believable. Tessa returns as Bianca and she is good in her small role in this film as well. However, I do have some issues with this film. The first half focuses on building up the characters and eventual conflict which is fine. The second half is incredibly rushed though with clearly many cuts made towards it. We don't get a great sense of how much time passed so it is baffling to suddenly see Damian successful so quickly. It would've helped to have seen Damian in more fights. We could have seen him growing more and more successful while also seeing how much of a threat he is. Unfortunately, this movie doesn't have a lot of boxing fights and enough build-up in the second half. It is also weird how quickly Damian's personality changes. Another issue is the lack of inner conflict for Adonis. We see him feeling guilty about what happened to Damian but that's mostly it. For example, we don't see his doubt about retiring or concern about his daughter and wife. On that note, there is a daughter subplot introduced in this film that went nowhere. Felt very pointless. Overall, Creed III is another good entry in this franchise. It's an impressive directorial debut from Michael and I look forward to future work from him, Creed or otherwise. Even without Rocky, this franchise seems to be doing well standing on its own feet. I'm not sure what direction Creed 4 can go in but if it is of a similar quality to previous entries, then I will 100% be there to watch!

This was a good watch. Predictable but most in the series are. If you enjoyed I & II you will enjoy this one too.

I can respect Creed wants to be it's own thing, but I refuse to support it without Rocky.

huge disappointment. Worst film of the entire Rocky saga. lame and stupid story without quality. very poor interpretation of creed. and not having Rocky in the movie is the biggest mistake of all.

I can say this was an outstanding movie directed by Micheal B Jordan,it really showed how the main protagonist over came his past challenges,to move forward in his future and i loved how it focused on both sides of the story between both of the friends and not just one person and all the way towards the end of it you can see the growth between both characters.

I really enjoyed this movie when i saw it but the stuff now with Jonathan majors makes me really sad.

For this third episode, Jordan knew how to play the double role of actor and director, with a story that involves redemption and the inevitable boxing match with all its dynamism. One of the few March releases that are well worth the effort.

Not bad, even though very predictable. What works, and what made it worth my time was that I felt EVERYONE was into the story. It did not feel hackey. Well directed. Well paced, and well acted. But man, is it ever predictable.

Bastante buena, escenas de combate que molan, con un toque diferente respecto a las otras entregas. Algo lenta en algunos ratos, las justificaciones de la trama, bah, está guay, pero creo que me sigue gustando más la 2. · Cosas buenas: Creed y Damian, por sus interpretaciones y la forma en la que están dirigidos. La forma de contar el background de la historia. El guion está bastante bien. · Cosas malas: el villano, pillado con pinzas, me encanta la actuación, pero el personaje bah. Situaciones muy forzadas y tramas secundarias que no llevan a nada. · Conclusión: peli interesante, bastante buena, y que continua con la saga de una forma digna, sin Silvester Stallone esta vez.

It is incredible how this franchise continues to give us great stories and emotions. Creed 3 is a fantastic movie that will generate emotions from beginning to end. As has been its tradition, Creed 3 brings a fantastic soundtrack that will take all the emotions to a new level. As a boxing fan, I must highlight the great work done in recreating the atmosphere of the boxing industry and fights. In a nutshell, Creed 3 is an incredible movie that will take your emotions to the limits.

Nonsensical plot lines, absurd logic, below par acting. What a shame! Creed I and II were some of the best in the Rocky series, but this follows the lows of Rocky 4 and 5.

Good, not great. The film finally gets its own story instead of leaning on the Rocky franchise, but it still lacks that triumphant, boisterous energy that made Rocky so lovable. It sets up lots of ideas but doesn't follow through when you think they will. The fights are better choreographed than the Rocky films, but you don't follow the dramatic moments like Rocky did so well. It's just two guys boxing till one wins. There's no moment of personal growth in the ring, a strategy change, a powerful breakthrough of strength. It just goes and then stops. It's good. If you like the franchise, it's exactly in line with the others and will not disappoint.

Good, solid movie which I enjoyed start to finish. The tone was darker and the lack of small humorous moments felt to me like a step backwards from I and II. But then the focus shifted more towards personal demons and regrets in life, which is a hard topic to be lighthearted about. Solid performances all around and I like the creativity of the inner and outward fight scenes of the last fight of the movie. Good movie, but liked II and particularly I better.

Creed III starts slow and takes its time to build its story and they do it beautifully. What this movie does well is its personal conversations that the characters have, it's very well acted, directed and written. Some shots look beautiful and Creed III made an effort to make itself look and feel different from the other Creed movies and it succeeded for the most part. This installment had a stronger story than Creed II which I think was Creed II's weakest point. Even though this movie is overall better than Creed II in a lot of ways, this movie has some pacing issues. Once you know the fight is on BOOM they rush through the training monologue and we are right into the fight without much time for the characters to breathe, and that feels inconsistent to how the first two acts were. This is a good installment to the Rocky/Creed franchise and it will be interesting where they go from here *Slight Spoilers* As a Rocky fan this movie was hard to get invested in. Rocky isn't in it, they changed the themes and moved away from the original score. I understand that they are trying to become their own franchise and they did a pretty good job being their own thing. Even though this is a better overall movie than Creed II I enjoyed Creed II more just because of the nostalgia it has on me. I don't know what they will do from here, but I think Creed IV is a make or break movie for the franchise. The next movie will either be good and they will continue the story or be really bad and they won't make anymore. I just don't see what stories are left in this universe without being it cliche or bad.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

A great way to round out a trilogy. Some great moments in this movie. Action is good and interesting. Both main characters work well together. Impressive directorial debut from Michael B. Jordan.

Great movie from start to finish, has the emotional pull of the past creed movies. And still has the rocky vibe even without rocky in it.

In this third outing in the 'Creed' franchise, Michael B. Jordan stars as the titular Adonis Creed, son of late famed boxing legend Apollo Creed, and finds himself face to face with a childhood friend-turned-rival looking for a shot at the heavyweight title. Ever since the first 'Creed' film was released back in 2015 and thereby expanding upon the 'Rocky' franchise that humbly began all the way back in 1976 with Sylvester Stallone (who's noticeably absent for the very first time with this film), I've been rather interested to see where things would go from there for these characters and their descendants, and Jordan has always remained a formidable talent. This time however, he not only delivers another knockout performance on camera, but also handles offscreen duties rather deftly as the film's director. He carries both the muscle and the emotional heft needed for us to really root for him till the end. That being said, the film itself isn't quite without its shortcomings. For starters, the film uses an almost gratuitous amount of corny slow-mo shots of characters getting punched and pummeled around till we can see their skin ripple and glisten with an absurd amount of sweat. It becomes over-reliant on this almost to the point of becoming unintentionally humorous. Furthermore, it does contain a lot of the same predictable plot beats that the franchise has become known for (training montage included), and I also couldn't help but feel like the film felt incomplete without at least a 2 or so-minute cameo from Stallone as Rocky. It definitely wouldn't have weighed the film down at all in my humble opinion. On the plus side however, besides Jordan's stellar performance, Johnathan Majors (hot off of his villainous turn as Kang the Conqueror in 'Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania') once again delivers an all-too commanding and bravado performance here as the antagonistic rival. Tessa Thompson also continues to hold her own well as Adonis 's wife. The boxing sequences dazzle at times but also get a little too stylized and carried away at times for my liking. But overall, it's passable enough to feel enjoyable while also not quite feeling necessary to the franchise. Familiar and predictable plot beats weigh it down more often than I'd like, along with some corny and overly stylish slow motion and fight sequences, but Jordan's commitment to the character and legacy can't help but still be admirable.

Assim como todos os Creed e Rocky, o filme tem uma história de superação pessoal, nesse abrangendo Raiva, Culpa e Perdão. Ao melhor estilo Goku x Vegeta e Naruto x Sasuke, o conceito de Amizade e Rivalidade é retratado com excelentes cenas de luta.

This trilogy is about Creed's legacy, Adonis Creed, not Rocky Balboa. This movie is independent of the original franchise but there is still a connection and scensse of it. Michael B. Jordan is such a good actor and he has huge potential on the direction. The story is engaging and well paced, Jonathan Majors does a good perfomance as Dame Anderson and the fights has extremely good choreography and direction and it seems that the fights has some references of iconic anime moments (pretty good tribute). This movie is the start of a new beginning of Creed and being independent of Rocky's presence

Not as good as the 1st. To be fair, nothing was gonna live up to the first. The 1st Creed was fresh and a new take, everything else was gonna be more predictable because it had to be. That being said, this is definitely better than the 2nd one. They do a much better job of fleshing out the dynamic. The biggest issue I had with Creed 2 was I felt like the Drago story left much to be desired. Damian and Adonis' dynamic is much more at the forefront. I do feel like the final 1/4 of the movie was a bit rushed as there was plenty of time give more to inside the mind of Donny as well as the traditional training montage was the weakest in the series. That being said this is a must see for any Rocky/Creed fan as Jordan delivers an above average cinema spectle for his directoral debut.

Não espere de Creed III algo diferente de um roteiro clichê sobre boxeadores. Tem até aquelas famosas cenas que mais parecem sum clipe musical, mostrando a preparação para a luta final. Acontece que aqui há um salto estrondoso de Michael B. Jordan tanto em sua atuação como direção, estão impecáveis. Adonis Creed, enfim, se aposenta, mas isso será temporariamente. Quando seu amigo de adolescência retorna da cadeia, com sangue nos olhos para sagra-se campeão mundial, o embate entre os dois é inevitável. Até porque eles precisam resolver pendências do passado, explicado aos poucos e com delicadeza, mesmo sendo um evento bem simples mesmo. Talvez para os amantes de boxe brutal, o filme tenha se sobrecarregado no teor dramático, como por exemplo o arco com a família de Creed: a mãe, a filha e sua esposa tem papéis fundamentais aqui. E não é que todos os arcos se saem bem? Todos eles contribuem à discussão do boxe enquanto esporte, da luta pelos sonhos, do foco, da necessidade de reconstrução narrativa do boxe enquanto esporte. Eu incialmente fiquei reticentes quando o roteiro inseriu o boxe na vida da filha, mas a última cena comprovou que o Jordan me nocauteou com esse acerto. O que me incomodou um pouco foi o seu rival, a impressão que dá é que sua personalidade não foi construída de forma basilar, e sim baseada na convenção do roteiro. Em determinado momento do filme, sua personalidade soou amedrontadora. Depois, resignada. Independentemente dos resultados da luta, me parecer um personagem que poderia ter rendido mais e acabou mudando de atitude de forma muito grotesca. Quanto às cenas no ringue, Creed III consegue se sair muito bem. A primeira cena de luta é meio fraca, mas as demais estão sensacionais, com destaque para a última cena de luta, um espetáculo visual que consegue suspender a realidade e inserir camadas oníricas durante sua projeção, mostrando não apenas o embate físico dos personagens, mas principalmente o embate psicológico. É de uma sensibilidade não vista em filmes entre brutamontes, mesmo que tudo pareça sem grande aprofundamento, mas por ser bem atuada e muito bem filmada, consegue até mesmo emocionar. É clichezão bem feito, filme pipoca agradável, e que comprova a maturidade e versatilidade de Michael B Jordan.
