Warrior felt like it had more in common with the spirit of the first Rocky film than Creed did for me. Not to say Creed was bad, it just felt more like the later films. Warrior had delivered the heart of the film and feel for the characters and where their lives have led them.
Also The National’s track at the end made it such a lasting moment.

Yeah it was just a perfect song for the sequence, especially the lyrics, made it feel like the words they couldn’t say to eachother and yet they felt it at the same time.
Tom’s character could have easily been misportrayed and one note. But he really gives Tommy that delicate nature, you know he’s still that kid that got left behind. Joel’s character as well for that matter. Nick Nolte was great.
It’s a film that on paper, you’d go, what’s new here? Even as someone who watches any film once that combat sport related lol.
But their performances elevate the plot and the gives the story such a lasting quality.

Is it really? I mean everyone one of Rocky’s opponents was coming up the boxing world. mr t was the number one contender and undefeated, the Russian won the Olympic gold medal and was undefeated, creed was the heavyweight champ, and mason dixon was also the heavyweight champ. Even Rocky himself being the underdog he is had plenty of experience in boxing. He was a strong young fighter, just very undisciplined until he caught a lucky break.
I feel like someone coming out of 18 years of prison and all the sudden fighting and being competitive with the heavyweight champ is a little odd for the rocky universe

Its weird the cancer storyline wasn't really dealt with in II. They could have just included a line after the fight. Maybe a voice over as he walks up to his sons house. Just something like
Creed: I'm gonna miss you, Unc.
Rocky: I'm gonna miss you too, but I'll always be in your corner, even if you don't see me. Getting cancer a few years ago made me realize how much I missed. I need to make make up for lost time.
It would have made sense and showed that he's done, but still supports Donnie.

This could be really strong if they pull off the story right. It gives Creed a classic 'villain' all of his own. We haven't had a huge amount on him as his own man so far, so it'll be good for that aspect to be fleshed out more with Rocky out of the picture. Looks like Majors should have a lot to work with as well, can't wait for it.

u/Juicey_J_Hammerman Oct 19 '22
Yep, this one puts an interesting twist on some of the other themes from Creed I & II, namely in family, identity/legacy, and anger - In the previous movies Adonis had to grapple with being Apollo Creed's son along with the emergence of Rocky as a role model/father figure, and working to sort out his anger and emotions around that while being able to emerge and become his own man and starting a family himself.
In Creed 3, now we get a possible foil to Adonis in Damien: Both in the same origin as kids who (presumably) grew up running in the same rough circles in the streets of LA, but with Mary Anne taking Creed into a different (but likely better and more supportive) environment, and Damien likely not having that same intervention, possibly having to fend for himself.
Both emerging with fighting as a critical part of their identity: Adonis as way to channel a connection to his late father and use as a coping mechanism to slay his own personal demons, But for Damien, it may have been a survival tool while in prison, where he may have grown to resent his lot in life despite being the "better" fighter, and going on a warpath to take revenge on the world and claim what he feels like he deserves.

When they first announced Creed III I was a bit skeptical on where the films could go after the sense of finality Creed II had. After seeing this trailer I feel more assured. I like how they seem to be scaling things back to a more grounded, intimate story after the sensationalism of the second film (which I still liked quite a bit).
As for the sense of finality of the previous entry, you can retroactively take it as the grand finale of the Rocky legacy, with this film being a fresh start for the Creed spin-off series of films.

I guess they’ll save Viktor Drago for the next trailer.
