Creed III Comes Out Swinging

After dominating the boxing world, Adonis Creed, played by Michael B. Jordan, has been thriving in both his career and family life. A childhood friend and former boxing prodigy Damian, the hotter-than-ever Jonathan Majors, resurfaces after serving a long sentence in prison, and he is eager to prove that he deserves his shot in the ring. The face-off between former friends is more than just a fight. To settle the score, Adonis must put his future on the line to battle Damian – a fighter who has nothing to lose. Michael B. Jordan stars in and directed the film. Here’s our own film critic-in-the-making Meena Anderson’s take on the boxing flick!

I went into Creed III a little skeptical: I hadn’t seen the first or second film, and I personally am not one to really enjoy watching people brawl. However, if the people in question are oiled up and shirtless Michael B. Jordan and Jonathon Majors, I’ve discovered that I actually do enjoy boxing matches.

The relationship between the two boxers throughout the film was what made it great for me. There were multiple visual and narrative parallels between the two main characters, fostering a significant sense of brotherhood, betrayal and ultimately, healing. I was enthralled, and not just because of the onslaught of beautiful men: the fight choreography was tight and coordinated and the soundtrack—with a fun Kehlani feature—was engaging and interesting, overall I was enthralled for the entire movie. Creed III was surprising, uplifting and visually engaging. 8/10 boxing rings.

The Cast of Act Your Age Cuts Up
