Ranking the Rocky and Creed Films

The Rocky films have never been my thing. I tried out the first one when I was much younger, and I was so unimpressed that it took me over a decade to give it or any of them another chance. One of the things that kept a desire in me to look at them though is that I loved Stallone’s work in the Creed films. He is such a talented movie star when he has the right role. And Rocky Balboa, if nothing else, is his defining role. And now Adonis Creed is Michael B. Jordan’s defining role.

Probably would have made a huge difference based on how it turned out. Listen to how everyone claimed a paycheck for this mediocre superhero film.
