Creed III review: Michael B. Jordan's directing debut isn't a knockout but still packs a wallop
the rival was Ivan Drago—Rocky’s old foe—training his son to avenge his long-ago defeat at Rocky’s hands. This time it’s the guilt that Creed feels for what happened to Anderson. That backstory is obvious from the beginning but is unveiled slowly via flashbacks throughout the film. By the time the full story is revealed, though, it has lost most of its significance and the psychological payoff for the character is less impactful.
Jordan makes an assured debut as a director. He knows how to make the story entertaining, though he’s unconcerned with making it his own. Why change something that has worked for decades across two film series? Here he uses some aesthetic flourishes in the boxing scenes, but he mostly sticks to what has worked in previous iterations. That is, he retains the series’ visceral feel for the boxing scenes.
film the boxing scenes with an intimacy that gives the audience a real sense of the arena and the athletes inside it. It’s all there in dazzling closeup: muscles flexing, teeth falling out, and blood flowing in slow motion. But it’s not all about the punches; the close-ups of the fighters add dimensionality and emotion to the charged atmosphere.
