12A | ★★✩✩✩

Widely acclaimed for their ability to capture the true essence of their predecessors, the Creed movies had up until now managed the impossible task of breathing new life into the tired old Rocky Balboa saga.

With Black Panther director Ryan Coogler at the helm, Creed 1 felt not only fresh and innovative, but also managed to catapult actor Michael B Jordan into genuine Hollywood stardom.

Now back for a third outing and with Jordan this time also acting as director, the franchise now seeks to explore its titular character’s humble beginnings as a troubled LA teen and later pits him against an old rival.
