After a successful career in the boxing world, Adonis Creed (Michael B. Jordan) has hung up his gloves and is currently leading a retired life. He resides with his wife, Bianca (Tessa Thompson), and their young daughter, Amara (Mila Davis-Kent). Each day, Adonis mentors and oversees many new and upcoming boxers who may carry the same potential he once did. However, Adonis's world is about to be shaken when someone from the past re-enters his life. Damien (Jonathan Majors) was once a childhood friend, and the two share a dark secret that has never seen the light of day until now. Damien is also a boxer filled with desires to show the world what he is made of and wants his moment in the ring. Adonis attempts to help and support his goals and dreams, given their past together and Damien's brokenness from being in jail and serving time. However, things between Adonis and Damien only become more tense, dramatic, and hurtful, and the pair will soon accept that the only way for them to move forward is to battle it out in the ring and settle once and for all who the champ is. "Creed III" is, in fact, a sequel that continues from "Creed II," which was released in 2018. Here, we are introduced to a moment of Adonis's life that we knew nothing about until now: his childhood. It's a great extension of the character we've loved from the previous films and taps into a moment of pain and suffering haunting him for a long time. Such a topic has great themes and messages about past hurt, moving forward, and forgiveness. Sadly, while this film is a continuation built from the "Rocky" franchise, actor Sylvester Stallone is not in this film whatsoever. I can't deny it; his presence is dearly missed, and it's the first time the character has not been present in the series. Overall, with great performances, including Michael B. Jordan and a welcoming new presence from actor Jonathan Majors, "Creed III" packs a solid punch. Visually, a few changes feel upbeat, modern, and refreshing. The story here is enjoyable, but it also felt safe and, for the most part, highly predictable, including the film's showdown. Like many "Rocky" fans, I'm also on the same bandwagon that I missed the presence of actor Sylvester Stallone here immensely, and it feels slightly odd without him; still, it's a worthy instalment, and the series remains highly enjoyable. * This review has been written for Sanity.

Good movie, I think the first 2 are better but it has some good parts

Excellent movie from the beginning until the end thank you Sanity

Very good movie franchise

Creed 3 starts with Adonis who has been killing it in his boxing career and family life, but when a childhood friend Dame who is a beast of a boxer comes back into the picture the gloves are on. Dame has just got out of prison and feels he deserves a piece of Adonis’s fame and fortune that leads to the face-off which is a showstopper of a fight between the two. Really solid entry into the Creed movies and a brilliant directorial debut from Adonis himself Michael B Jordan. The story is pretty thin but let’s be honest most of them are ?? but the performances are really what make this one sing. Johnathan Mayjors is fantastic as Dame. Fun boxing flick 7/10
