Creed (2015) dir. Ryan Coogler. 7.4/10

I like how I agree with everything Rocky says. He’s such an agreeable, likable, and wise man.

The fight was much more skilled than I’ve seen. Like, they know what they’re doing rather than sheer force.

Ricky’s entrance was like the Durmstrangs entering.

Spoiler: [About little Adonis getting into a fight in juvie. He has a visitor, who he believes to be a social worker since he’s hopped for foster home to foster home. She tells him she’s the wife of his father, Apollo Creed. She wants him to live with her. Adonis is grown up now and goes to Mexico to go fight fights and comes back to LA real quickly to go back to his day, office job. He just got a promotion, but he decides to quit. He goes back to his large mansion of a home and watches fights of his father. He goes to the gym to train and they don’t accept him from his little small time fights. He offers his Mustang to anyone who can get a head shot on him. He fights the first guy and destroys him. Then the #2 Pound for Pound boxer challenges him and destroys him and gets the car. He goes home and tells him mom that he quit and is fighting now. He moves to Philly and visits Rocky at Adrian’s after it’s closed. He asks about the famous pictures everywhere and about the closed doors fight between him and Apollo. Rocky asks him how he knows about that. Adonis asks to be trained by Rocky and he says he doesn’t do that. Adonis calls himself Donnie and starts talking about Mickey and Rocky wants to know how he knows all this. He reveals he’s Apollo’s son and to ask his mom. Rocky says he can tell Donnie is educated and he shouldn’t have to fight. He also says Apollo won the closed doors fight. Donnie is trying to sleep until his neighbor blasts music and he goes to shut it down and finds a pretty girl. He then goes to Mickey’s gym in the morning and starts practicing. He sees a poster of Bianca at a music show and sees that she’s his neighbor. Donnie goes to Rocky and gets some training tips since he won’t train him. Donnie then takes Bianca out to go eat and learns about her gradual hearing loss. He also wants to come with for her next show. Rocky stops by to Mickey’s even though he hasn’t been here for a very long time. He talks with Pete, who introduces him to his son–The #4 light heavyweight, Leo. Donnie then comes up and talks with Rocky. He agrees to train him. Pete eventually wants Donnie to fight Leo even though Rocky doesn’t want it. Donnie then moves into Rocky’s place and as he leaves, he introduces Rocky to Bianca as his uncle. Pete comes to Rocky saying he knows the kid is Apollo’s kid after he asked around. Rocky says to keep it a secret so he can make a name for himself. He fights Leo and wins. He gets with Bianca at Rocky’s place after Rocky goes to sleep. In the morning, she searches up Donnie to find out it’s now known that Apollo is his father. She’s upset that he didn’t tell her the truth and they talk about their relationship. He tells her the truth from now on. Conlan’s people come to ask for a fight at the expense of having him change his last name to Creed since he’s been going by Johnson. Conlan is the current #1 pound for pound fighter. Bianca talks to Donnie about not being ashamed of being Creed’s son and accepting that he is a Creed and his own person. As Rocky and Donnie are training, Rocky throws up and goes to the hospital. He later finds out he has non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. He doesn’t want chemotherapy since Adrian did it and it didn’t go well. He keeps the pamphlets in his pockets, which Donnie later finds. He learns that he won’t take treatment and gets upset. Rocky regretfully tells Donnie that he isn’t family. Donnie goes to Bianca’s show and fights with a guy that calls him Baby Creed. He ends up in jail. Rocky comes to get him and Donnie is still upset and gets rid of him after Rocky talks to him to help him. Donnie gets released and goes apologizes to Bianca, who wants them to focus on themselves right now after she learns about Rocky’s sickness. Rocky and Donnie have dinner together and both agree to fight. Donnie starts training at the hospital as Rocky gets treatment. It’s around time for the fight and Rocky brings Bianca to Donnie and they make up. The day of the fight, Donnie’s mom sends him shorts that are red, white, and blue. The fight happens and they make it to the bell, but

Conlan is still undefeated. Rocky and Donnie walk to the top of the step at the museum.]
