Creed III (2023)
Creed III marks Michael B. Jordan’s directorial debut, delivering an intense and emotionally charged addition to the Rocky spin-off series. This time, Adonis Creed faces a deeply personal battle when his childhood friend, Damian (Jonathan Majors), resurfaces after years in prison, seeking the success he believes was stolen from him. The film shifts focus from external rivals to internal struggles, exploring themes of guilt, redemption, and legacy.
Jordan shines both in front of and behind the camera, bringing a fresh perspective to the franchise. The fight scenes are visually dynamic, with anime-inspired slow-motion shots that heighten the drama. Jonathan Majors delivers a powerhouse performance as a formidable and complex antagonist, making the emotional stakes feel raw and real.
Unlike previous entries, Creed III stands on its own without Sylvester Stallone’s Rocky, proving that Adonis can carry the franchise forward. With its gripping narrative, stunning fight choreography, and heartfelt performances, this is a knockout sequel that packs both punches and emotions.
