Keenan Coogler and Zach Baylin wrote the screenplay.
The young man is in his homies corner and watches his friend win the amateur fight.
Smash cut to adult Adonis (Jordan) hanging with his daughter and relaxing at home.
Of course, the answer was no at first.
Years of plunging himself into his work has distracted him from addressing real issues.
This film definitely sees Adonis mature as a character.
As for the directing, Jordan knocks it out of the park.
There is a lot of risk taking here in combining action and drama, which he balances visually.
Majors elevates any project hes a part of.
Although Damiens journey is rather unrealistic, even as a flawed underdog the viewer roots for him.
Hopefully, that balance will come with more experience and directing opportunities.
As a story,Creed IIIisnt as interesting.
There is a lot of sameness, and the audience can see the conclusion coming a mile away.
The emotional beats that peek into Adonis past are the most engaging because it givesCreedmore humanity.
