Years on from the story of Rocky IV, in which Rocky Balboa’s longtime rival and later friend Apollo Creed died in the ring, his son is now looking to follow in the footsteps of a father he never knew. The ambitious Adonis Johnson struggled through a difficult upbringing in his one-parent family and now sees boxing as the only way out. He turns to the one man who he knows has the utmost respect for his father’s legacy in Rocky himself, as the legendary boxer turns coach in the latest of Sylvester Stallone’s classic series of films. With rave reviews from all corners, this is a true return to form for Stallone who plays the grizzled veteran, guiding Johnson to his big fight. Creed will keep fans of the original more than happy while also taking the franchise in a completely new direction, albeit one that packs a punch.
