Best Actor in Creed Goes to...
A stunning
performance from Michael B. Jordan and the star studded cast as the Rocky
franchise continues with Creed. Jordan plays Adonis Johnson the son of the
deceased heavy weight champion Apollo Creed. Adonis carries his father passion
for the sport, but wants to make a name of his own, so he travels to the city
of brotherly love, Philadelphia seeking support, training, and answers from the
icon Rocky Balboa of course played by an old Sylvester Stallone. Eventually his
secret gets out that he's the champ's son and is set for a match against the
current heavy weight champion "Pretty Ricky" Colan, played by Tony
Belew. What is set to be an easy match before Colan goes to prison quickly
turns out to be a serious blow out.
Recently
Stallone won a Golden Globe for his part in the film, which yes he deserved.
However the Jordan isn't nominated for any awards for the film and I think this
is ridiculous. He was the best actor in the entire franchise history in my
opinion. If anyone were to watch Creed without seeing Rocky, they'd still enjoy
the movie. They would actually want to go back and watch Rocky, which is one of
the reasons the movie was created. Jordan made you feel his pain and
passion for the sport, I don't even like boxing, but I enjoyed Creed. Good job
Jordan, even if they don't physically recognize your talent, you definitely did
your thing and your fans love you!
We can't
wait for the sequel. MGM CEO Gary Barber told Variety "there's no doubt
that we're making a sequel." Variety reported that Creed 2 is aiming to
hit theaters November 2017.
