Adonis (Michael B. Jordan) has been thriving in both his career and family life, but when a childhood friend & former boxing prodigy, Damian Anderson (Jonathan Majors) resurfaces, so do old childhood wounds; so now …the face-off is MORE than just a fight now!
One of the STRONGEST Creed Films Yet!
This is one of the BEST Creed films in the series if I am being brutally and candidly honest with you. This is Michael B. Jordan’s directorial debut, and he comes out swinging in it! I felt the power and passion in the film while watching it from start – to finish! The entire film was centered around Creed retiring from boxing and focusing on the gym that he had rebuilt and on his family. I must say that casting Tessa Thompson as Creed’s Leading Lady was a dynamite choice! Those two have a connection on-screen. They have magic, and chemistry, and share such a deep and meaningful vibe that is just unexplainable, and you can see it displayed on camera. And every time that you see Bianca in the film – she flourishes, and her beauty is radiant! She does not even need to speak or say a word; her beauty says it all for her! Wouldn’t you agree?
Tessa Thompson Shines!!!
Her character ALWAYS stands for courage, dignity, and integrity. She never told D what he WANTED to hear – Bianca told D what he HAD to hear regardless of whether he liked it or not. At times, the truth hurts and is POWERFUL! That is a wife! Bianca is a kind of character who many individuals can call independent. The introduction of Damian is not that uncommon in a film series such as this to write about in a past storyline. It was not revealed until halfway into the film what their past connection was and I was able to deduce what transpired between the two of them. Will you?
NEVER Let Your Guard Down!
Jealousy and envy are what got into Damian; that is what gets to anyone when fame comes into play when two people; especially friends who grew up as brothers get into a confrontation over money and wealth/power/prestige. Damian wanted him and he did not want to wait because he felt as if he was better than Creed he taught him some movies when they were kids and looked out for him, so he felt that he was owed and it was time to collect! Another very valuable life lesson here: be careful who you call a friend because NOT everyone is good and pure. Like the good Book says: “Beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing.” People may pretend to be nice, kind, gentle, and sweet, but they can only pretend for so long until they reveal their true colors and intentions along with those cruel colors of theirs!
Amara Creed
The little girl who portrayed the role of Amara Creed – Bianca and D’s daughter was so sweet as pie with her sign language and smile even though she was deaf. That was very devastating to see and watch, but then again it is a part of life and a possibility for anyone if it is inherited in families with the gene like Bianca. There is a scene in the film with Amara that will have you in total and utter shock and disbelief – well, really, and not really. It is kind of a toss-up. You will MOST DEFINITELY know the scene when you see it! TRUST ME ON THAT! There is also something that happens in the film that I was not expecting to occur, but it did, and it disturbed me, but again is a part of life.
Trav’s Remarks
In conclusion, I loved the hell out of the movie and Michael B. Jordan DESERVES as much acclaim for this masterpiece as he can get! So, go grab that bucket of buttery popcorn and give Jordan the recognition that he so proudly deserves because THIS film right here is SO worth it! I hope to see Mikey directing very shortly and a GIGANTIC Congratulations 2 him on receiving a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Wednesday, March 1, 2023 – WELL DESERVED AND MUCH MORE PROPS 2 U Michael B. Jordan!!!

Thank you, Rod! Thank you so much for commenting! It means so much to me to have you finally come to my site and leave your comment!!! This is what I have been aiming for on Twitter and all-over social media!!! More comments and viewers!!
It is! Maybe because Jordan directed this ome himself? He should have been directing then, huh? You think??? They are green lighting a 4th so u better watch the first 2!!!
Another great review my friend! That’s why you need to go to the movies more! Don’t let a month go by in between reviews!! LOL!! You gots to keep your clientele excited, haha. Anyways, yes I agree with you 100% – this is probably the BEST of all the Creed movies! And you had a quote that said it’s like “a wolf in sheep’s clothing” and boy that sets the tone for this movie and what Damian and Adonis go through!
What you talking about boy!?!? Go to the movies MORE??? Any and everyone who knows me knows that I pratically reside at AMC Theaters!!! You want me to move my furniture there? LOL! Hollywood determines how often I go – or if I have a week or weeks off! If I have something in the books, I will go & if nothing piques my interest, then … there is just nothing! I feel that as more and more sequels are made for CREED, they keep getting like Adonis: STRONGER! 💪💪💪
I really love Tessa Thompson as Bianca! I hope that she never never gets recast in these films!!
