CREED.
I got to admit; I enjoyed this. I enjoy boxing and MMA movies, though. The storyline was cool, except for the romance aspect, which (like most movies) was lame, stale and corny. Oh, and they totally milked the Rocky nostalgia, which is to be expected. The fights were pretty good (Apollo's were arguably better), although the leading actor's biceps bothered me a bit because those muscles don't look like that from boxing training... They look like that from "curls for the girls." On a side note, "Claire Huxtable" has aged like a dream.
A solid 7/10; will watch again.
