The buzz on Creed is that it's pretty good, even though it's not coming out until November and I'm not quite sure where this early buzz is coming from- maybe it's had some early screenings, but there's no critical word yet and for all we know it could be studio plants. But since the movie was written and directed by Ryan Coogler, whose first movie was Fruitvale Station, I wouldn't be surprised if it was at least decent. And it does have the Rocky nostalgia going for it, which is quite powerful and goes back a long ways. Hopefully this one can be as uplifting as the first, bring back some of that original underdog theme.
