Adonis Creed is no longer an underdog, but the threadbare writing in `Creed III` inorganically forces him into believing he is, just three years after his last title…and against an opponent who has just one successful KO after a 10-year-long prison stint

Director: Michael B. Jordan
Rating: 3/5
Runtime: 116 min
This sequel spin-off of the ‘Rocky’ franchise heralds Michael B. Jordan’s fairly impressive directorial debut and is punchy on style rather than story.
After dominating the boxing world, Adonis Creed (Michael B. Jordan) has been thriving in both his career as a trainer, gym co-owner, and Boxing promoter and also his family life. But then, a childhood friend and former boxing prodigy, Damien Anderson(played by Jonathan Majors), resurfaces after serving a long sentence in prison and is eager to prove that he deserves his shot in the ring.
Adonis Creed is no longer an underdog, but the threadbare writing in `Creed III` inorganically forces him into believing he is, just three years after his last title…and against an opponent who has just one successful KO after a 10-year-long prison stint.
The story feels rather flimsy especially because the final duel comes through because of a personal grudge that Adonis Creed’s childhood friend holds against him. So this film is rather more personal than the earlier two Ryan Coogler directed editions which also had Sylvester Stallone playing a reluctant trainer and father figure.
