Creed III

The dialogue in this movie was difficult to hear over my wife telling me how hot Michael B. Jordan is. I highly recommend subtitles or sitting next to someone else. I mean after seeing him shadow box shirtless, did I do a few sit-ups? Maybe…but the point is the guy commits to his role and you forget he’s not actually a pro-boxer, but an actor/director playing one. The second point is don’t do sit-ups on the theater floor unless you want your back covered in day old soda residue and half eaten Sour Patch Kids.

The acting and physicality in this movie is phenomenal. They also do a great job with somehow turning the lead into the underdog again and the story works. I did miss Rocky, as he doesn’t make an appearance in this film and was barely referenced, but unlike me in a pair of scuba fins, this movie does stand on its own.

In conclusion, we’re giving this our “Rent it” rating. It’s outstanding and worth the watch, but there aren’t any big cinematic sequences or sound pieces that necessarily need to be witnessed in the theater, but we do believe it’s worth paying for. And if you take a trip to the movies for it, you won’t regret it, just don’t do sit-ups on the theater floor because you still won’t look like Michael B. Jordan and you’ll be grossed out when you learn those weren’t Sour Patch Kids stuck to your back.

💳= Rent it. It’s worth the money.
