'Michael B. Jordan, a genuine star in a world of wannabes, returns in fighting form.'
Michael B. Jordan stars as Adonis Creed and Jonathan Majors as Damian Anderson in"CREED III."Sylvester Stallone wanted no part of this one. So don't expect a "Rocky" fix from "Creed III," now punching its way through theaters without a single mention of Rocky Balboa, the heavyweight champ who spawned this series of spinoffs.
After six "Rocky" films, the first in 1976 took the Best Picture Oscar, and two "Creed" follow-ups, the first in 2015 was directed by "Black Panther" wiz Ryan Coogler and brought back an Oscar-nominated Stallone to his signature role as Rocky, a mentor and trainer to Donnie, the bastard son of late champ Apollo Creed , the father he never knew.OK, enough with playing catch-up.
Jordan needed a live wire to play Dame and he found him in sizzling newcomer Jonathan Majors, an Emmy nominee for "Lovecraft Country" who is currently killing it as the evil Kang the Conqueror in "Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania." Working from a script by Keenan Coogler and Zach Baylin, Jordan builds suspense that tightens until the tension is unbearable. And that's even before the big fight, which Jordan stages with a close-up ferocity that will leave you ducking uppercuts in your seat.
