Review: ‘Creed III’ is about the boys at heart, their triumphs, and struggles as they play a slightly safer version of war.
movies should be studied. Here is a film franchise, born out of another six-film franchise, that has never felt tired or extraneous—indeed, it’s been just the opposite. From’s thoughtful 2015 revival of the Rocky Balboa-Apollo Creed saga onward, these films have been as exciting as they are humane, dramas of men and might that manage an honest vulnerability rare in most macho movies about people punching each other.
Is Creed restless in his post-career? Maybe. Or maybe he senses an impending storm, which arrives in the form of Damian Anderson , an old friend of Creed’s who has spent the last twenty years in prison after an incident in his and Creed’s shared past. A boyhood camaraderie endures, but there is more than a trace of resentment and anger flickering in Damian’s eyes as he regards all of Creed’s wealth and familial contentment.
Jordan and Majors circle one another well, the former keenly playing Creed’s guarded embrace of his troubled friend, while Majors compellingly uncoils to reveal the true nature of Damian’s intent. As a director, Jordan doesn’t do much in the way of flourishes, but he shows a sure hand in ratcheting up the film’s emotional and physical tension. He’s learned well from his pastdirectors.
