Netflix subscribers have only weeks left to watch Creed, the 2015 boxing film that some fans consider superior to the iconic Rocky. The movie, starring Michael B. Jordan and Sylvester Stallone, will be removed from the streaming platform at the end of August.
A Modern Classic Leaving Soon
Creed serves as a spin-off of the Rocky franchise, following Adonis Creed, the son of Apollo Creed, as he seeks training from the retired Rocky Balboa. The film holds a 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics and audiences praising its acting, screenplay, and direction.
One fan wrote: "Movie is a masterful reboot of the fan favourite Rocky series. The movie has great camera work, great action, a well rounded protagonist that makes you relate. A good movie to watch when you're feeling down."
Fan Praise and Comparisons
Another viewer commented: "Creed is a masterclass in escalation. The action and intensity rises to a point where by the musical training montage I basically lose it and am constantly welling up on the verge of tears until the end of the fight with Pretty Ricky."
Some fans have gone further, claiming the film surpasses the original Rocky movies. One said: "The return to the world of Rocky Balboa was not only a heavy dose of nostalgia, but was a higher quality movie than any in the original franchise." Another echoed: "Creed (2015) is probably one of the best Rocky movies out there, right next to the original. It adds a bit of a different but unique change to the franchise, and it definitely has a great and powerful story."
Last Chance to Watch
The last day to watch Creed on Netflix is August 31.
