<p>Ryan Coogler sets up story with this formulaic revisit of the 'Rocky Balboa' story-albeit with a new and relatively fresh young player to help stir up the passions. Despite all the shortcomings, 'Creed' is a fairly decent representation of a new-gen spin-off of the age-old studio hit formula</p>

'Creed'
A; Drama, Sport
Director: Ryan Coogler
Cast: Michael B. Jordan, Sylvester Stallone, Tessa Thompson, Phylicia Rashad, Tony Bellew
Rating: 
Warner Bros sure know how to encash on an age-old (40 years) successful studio property. The film that transported the monosyllabic, expressionless Sylvester Stallone to big-ticket super stardom and continued to rake in the millions in all it's sequel editions since, becomes the basis for this new-gen spin-off helmed by a fresh new director. Ryan Coogler (of 'Fruitvale Station' fame) sets up story and direction credits with this formulaic revisit of the 'Rocky Balboa' story- albeit with a new and relatively fresh young player to help stir up the passions.
