Creed is a knockout even if no punch landed. For it is a movie that deals with the human psyche that is surrounded by the sport of boxing. It takes you deeper in the mind and surroundings of the sport then any of the Rocky movies have done in the past. To be honest the movie didn’t grab me until the 1st round but once it started moving I didn’t want to leave till the ending credits. Yet even if one is not a fan of boxing the need to fight our own battles is a message that should ring in all our hearts.
Creed **** (I added a 1/2 star because I’m a big Sylvester Stallone fan.
