“Creed” features two excellent performances from Jordan and Stallone-who is the best I’ve seen him in years-but what really sets this film apart is the directing and cinematography.

Then MBJ showed Simmons the video who yelped upon seeing it. Well, yesterday we all got to see it when Sly posted it on Twitter.
Not only does the movie breathe new life into the Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) story canon, it helps to break free from that franchise’s shadows while shining a spotlight on new contender Adonis Creed (Michael B. Jordan).
Actor Michael B Jordan attends the Opening Night Gala of “Room” during day one of the 12th annual Dubai International Film Festival held at the Madinat Jumeriah Complex on December 9, 2015 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Ryan Coogler directed the film and Jordan says that he needed to step up and agree to being punched in the face, after peer pressure from Sly.
And he said when Jordan came round, he got up and filmed the blow again. “That’s called guts”, the actor tweeted.
“The first couple times we tried to do (the punches in the scene), we tried to it with the slips”.
“All of a sudden, you just hear this snickering from the corner, and everybody’s like, ‘What?'” Well I’ve got no idea how you can dress up this punch with any special effects, because it looks like this is a full-power right hand to the face.
