Creed III
At the top of his game, Adonis “Donnie” Creed (Michael B. Jordan) has stepped away to train the next generation of elite boxers. He is enjoying his family & the fruits of his labor. However, a childhood mistake has returned to haunt him & backs him into a corner so he must come out swinging. Jonathon Majors is introduced as old friend Damien Anderson from the neighborhood. Tessa Thompson & Phylicia Rashad return as wife Bianca & Mary Anne Creed. Jordan also directs this film. A chid idolizes her dad. A mom tries to protect her son. A man tries to bury his past. This story fits the “Rocky” mold and carries on the Balboa-Creed legacy. Is Donnie too busted up to re-enter the ring? Will Donnie be able go toe-to-toe for the full 12 rounds? Will there be a Creed 4?
Alien gives it 3 “checkmate” stars out of 4.
