A captivating series that showcases the journey of Creed in his final chapter, to fight and overcome the demons of his past.

This continuation film was a bold choice for actor Michael B. Jordan to take on, as he chose the Creed trilogy to be his directorial debut. He exceptionally surpasses the expectations on both sides of the camera, reprising his role beautifully as boxing heavyweight champion Adonis Creed and achieving success in the box office - up to US$275 million worldwide making it the highest grossing Creed film.

The story is set seven years after the original sequel, where Creed has retired on top of the world as champion and is now focused on being a trainer, as he attempts to coach a future young boxer.

However, things take a turn when he reunites with his childhood friend Dame, which triggers unpleasant memories from the past which involved illegal arms possession and jail time. Through conversations that occur during the film, it unpacks hidden trauma and unknown secrets, leading to an imminent clash between childhood friends for the title to become World Heavyweight Champion.

Michael B. Jordan does a great job in showcasing his emotions as Creed, as he unravels the memories of the past and takes on the battle against his childhood best friend. 

The film also includes beautifully choreographed boxing in every fight scene, which immerses audiences yet keeps them at the edge of their seats, as the intensity increases in every second of the fights. 

As for the characters, the movie showcases their past and current thoughts, as every interaction between them seemingly unties the plot in the leadup to the fight. The main characters Michael B. Jordan, Tessa Thompson and Jonathan Majors are all charismatic individuals that have portrayed their roles to the best of their abilities.
