Foreign Press Review of the film “The Creed Legacy Rocky” – Film.Ru studio

In the seventh film Balboa and Creed once again become central figures. But it will not for Apollo, and of Adonis – the son of the once invincible champion. He coached Rocky and he will enter the ring at the Philadelphia Arena charged knockout hook. Do not forget about Adonis and his father’s boxing stars and striped pants.

In general, the original Creed, that is Apollo, was a collective image of several boxers. For the most part it is a cross between Muhammad Ali and Larry Holmes. From the first his manner of movement around the ring, the second – a firm jab. Both are included in the Boxing Hall of Fame, and two have 136 fights, 125 victories and 100 knockouts. Included with the track record and the great name of the Creed, Ali got a cheeky manner, self-confidence and theatricality.

Adonis – a boxer. He does not show off, but defiant temper he still his father. Donnie also plant a half-turn. Young Creed moves even faster than Apollo, for his weight and smaller. The son of the champion fighting at light heavyweight, and, among other things, to heighten the realism cinematic Creed thrown into battle against a real boxer. The key battle, the filmmakers put in the corner opponent Briton Tony Bellew, light heavyweight with 29 fights and 26 wins. What symbolic Bellew in the professional ring only once sent a knockout, and technical, and made it a boxer Adonis (Canadian Adonis Stevenson).

On the role of Adonis Creed took Michael B. Jordan, and put at the helm of director ” Stations Frutveyl “Ryan Kugler. It is this tandem optimistic from the outset. You see, reboot-sequels in recent years missing and not all of them successful. Even the “Jurassic World” and “Star Wars” for all their commercial success, many criticized for operation of nostalgic feelings and parasitizing on religious chips plot moves and ideas from the past. That is why the “Creed”, many raised concerns because, on the one hand, this fertile material and ready to brand, on the other – the risk of stretch in the bar waiting and not to please the audience.

Well, the “Creed” I did not reinvent the wheel and really decided to follow the formula of modern reboot. At Kugler in the film there are many nostalgic references and plot twists twin nevertheless tandem with “Frutveyl” managed to complement the formula with new colors.

«Normally expansion franchise is different lack imagination, but the” Creed “- it is an absolute Knockout “- praises tape Calvin Wilson ( Calvin Wilson / Saint-Louis Post-Dispatch ).

« Kugler respectful attitude to the formula, “Rocky” and improve it so that “Creed” looks like something old-fashioned at the same time fresh, “- said Stephanie Zakarek ( Stephanie Zacharek / TIME ).

« I was afraid that the “Creed” can tarnish a track record Kugler and Jordan. Instead, they received the summary cheerful film, which is exactly like the audience. This fact only strengthens my belief that this duo has the potential to create real art “- shares his thoughts Aisha Harris ( Aisha Harris / Slate ).

« On surprisingly one of the warmest and most interesting films of the year “- ranked” Creed “among the surprises Lu Lyumenik ( Lou Lumenick / New York Post ).

« Many features of boxing movies traced in the script, but the fights look very impressive, the film is full of life and light humor, and “Creed” gently carries the mythology of the “Rocky” in modern times “- solidarity with colleagues Joe Morgenstern ( Joe Morgenstern / Wall Street Journal ).

«” Creed “- is not a” Raging Bull. ” He just tightened and crosses the plot unnecessary element with an illness that needs to escalate the emotional strain in the third act. However tape Kugler surprisingly shows that iconic franchise launched in the seventies, we can competently revive “- pays tribute to the creators Jeff Baker ( Jeff Baker / Portland Oregonian ).

“When the movie finishes his story, he manages to turn the difficult trick – to make you remember everything that happened with a sense of pleasant nostalgia and remember the” Creed “as a distinctive, powerful dramatic work,” – writes Dryukov McWhinney ( Drew McWeeny / Hitfix ).

«This is the best film in the series” Rocky “since the days of the original. He keeps the legacy of Stallone and takes a new direction, “- his verdict Chris Hewitt ( Chris Hewitt / Empire ).

The movement in a new direction Adonis Creed will continue in November 2017. This has already been officially announced Sylvester Stallone and MGM boss Gary Barber. Did Donny have to develop a franchise with another director as Ryan Kugler secured for “Black Panther» Marvel, which is scheduled for February 16, 2018. Either Kugler will work without lunch and rest, or one film supplant other of the shooting schedule.

As for the “Creed” with the subtitle “The legacy of Rocky,” he started in the Russian box office on January 14.
