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.
