Re: "Creed" a new Rocky movie in the works.
Maybe "Creed" is just a movie where Rocky punches Scott Stapp in the face.

I think it looks pretty damn good actually. A nice extension of the franchise. Lots of potential for really meaningful connection between Rocky and Creed.

Re: "Creed" a new Rocky movie in the works.
Outside of the hook of Balboa training Creed's son the rest of the script just writes itself. I didn't see anything in that trailer that looked surprising or original.
The problem I have with most boxing films (Rocky series especially) is that they don't really box. If you've seen any real boxing then Rocky's fights are painful to watch. The first Rocky film succeeded only because it was a great story. This film doesn't seem to have that.
It looks like the same kind of fighting in this movie. In the training montages it's apparent the actor didn't train enough to develop any muscle memory. I like my boxing movies to have some note of authenticity or else it's not a boxing movie but just a fancy drama. A bad boxing film is all about the fists. A better boxing film also looks at the feet.

Re: "Creed" a new Rocky movie in the works.
Zero expectations coming into this - I wasn't even aware that a trailer for this film was being released today. That said, I liked the trailer quite a bit and am actually excited for the movies release. I liked the trailers vibe and feel, I enjoyed Rocky's introduction into the trailer and believe it or not, I enjoyed the mini-training montage and accompanying music. I'll be on line ...

Re: "Creed" a new Rocky movie in the works.
Looks great. I loved what they did with Rocky Balboa and this looks like a strong extension of it.
As for developing muscle memory as boxers... I'm certain they got as good at boxing and in as prime condition as they could in their short preparation for this relatively low budget film. Michael B Jordan is an actor - and a really good one. I'll take a great actor, fake boxer over a great boxer, fake actor in a film like this every time.

I just happen to think authenticity is more interesting to watch. The training montage in Million Dollar Baby showed a lot more preparation and was great. I don't think their budget was much different.
I don't think it's an issue with the budget or Jordan's acting ability. It's because they're not even trying for authenticity. The franchise is a boxing fantasy - just as Pearl Harbor was a fantasy about WW2 and The Fast and Furious was a fantasy about street racing. The fight choreography looks nothing like real boxing because they think it's more exciting to have two guys just trading power shots to the head.

The emotional side of me says: that's horrible!!!
The musician side says: Where he belongs.
No offense but I was over his voice 20sec into the FIRST time I heard their first single...

Re: "Creed" a new Rocky movie in the works.
When I saw the title of this thread, it was the first time since before episode 1, that I was actually interested in a prequel.
Kind of a shame it's not. The Apollo story might have actually been worth watching.

Re: "Creed" a new Rocky movie in the works.
So many people seem excited about this as the next Rocky movie, but it sure doesn't seem that way to me. Seems much more like a boxing movie that had no legs, so they tagged Rocky in to give it some sort of credit.

Re: "Creed" a new Rocky movie in the works.
I get more of a "passing the torch" vibe. Stallone is just too damn old to carry a Rocky movie anymore, but these days Hollywood is all about the franchise. So they need a way to continue it, and get people in the seats based on the name without having to worry about starting something new.
That said, it looks not-horrible. I was pretty impressed with the last Rocky film, we'll have to see if this one can carry the same kind of vibe.
