Quick Review: CREED III...

A theatrical poster for CREED III.

Earlier today, I watched Creed III at AMC theaters.

Michael B. Jordan, who played Adonis—the son of Rocky Balboa's famous adversary and friend Apollo Creed—since 2015, did a great job helming Creed III. This was Jordan's first directorial assignment.

Spoilers ahead: With this being the final installment in the Creed series (presumably), it was expected that Jordan's titular boxer would emerge victorious at the end...this time against his long-time friend Damian Anderson, played with ferocity by Jonathan Majors.

It's unfortunate that Sylvester Stallone didn't make a cameo as Rocky (since he was against doing a third Creed film in the first place), but at least this movie ended on a happy note with Adonis, his wife Bianca (Tessa Thompson) and their daughter Amara (Mila Davis-Kent) spending quality time together inside a boxing ring at an empty Dodger Stadium—the venue where Creed once again showed the heart of a champion earlier that night.
