I'm not going to write too much but this series was in one word disappointing. Plot is rather convoluted and the pacing isnt great. You have long stretches of characters just talking and not much happening. This is fine if the plot was engaging but it just isnt and your interest is not held well enough.

The only reason I stuck with it was because i was invested in the characters (Loki and Morbius mainly). Thankfully there are only 6 episodes so there was not a massive commitment - longer than that and I would have given up on it. Its a decisive one as I know some people who absolutely love it but i'm not going to be able to recommend. Perhaps watch the first 2 episodes - if it doesnt seem to be your thing just drop it as it doesnt get any better.

Wanted to like this film and to be honest i think it was a good idea to finally move away from the Rocky character- but this falls flat on its face.

The premise is good and it starts off okay but it becomes really muddled really fast. If Adonis and Dame are literally like brothers why do they have next to no chemistry? Do we root for Dame or is he just the antagonist? In all seriousness Rocky V was poor but it actually did this storyline so much better.

Training sequences and the fights were the worst across all the Rocky/Creed series- yes visually they look great but there is no feel of a boxing match, no flow, no heart pounding sense of threat or danger. The less said about the CGI sequence the better- completely deflated the climax of the fight and robbed us of any investment we had left.

If there is going to be a Creed IV, Stallone needs to have a greater involvement. Yes you can call the previous Rocky/Creed films generic and predictable but they're also crowd-pleasing and above all fun and entertaining - and at the end of the day thats what it comes down to.
