From Rocky to Creed (2015)
*** (out of 4)
This hour long documentary is basically a promotional piece for the movie CREED but it also talks about the previous six films in the series. Several members of the series are interviewed including Sylvester Stallone, Irwin Winkler, Dolph Lundgren, Carl Weathers as well as the newcomers to the series, director Ryan Coogler and star Michael B. Jordan.
If you're a fan of the series then I'm going to guess that you've already seen countless other documentaries on the subject so you're really not going to learn anything new here. Once again we hear about how Sly was broke when he wrote the original movie and how he had to fight to get to star in it. We hear how all the sequels came into play and how the series was over after the disastrous part five.
Obviously the most interesting aspects are the discussions on CREED since this film hasn't already been documented to death. We get some great interviews with the director and two stars and you really get a great idea of what they were trying to go for as well as the hesitation that Stallone originally had.
