	Author	Review
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"Thanks to a charismatic, natural performance from star-in-the-making Michael B. Jordan, a script from writer-director Ryan Coogler (...) and fine work from Stallone...Creed is a terrific addition to the 'Rocky' canon"	POS
United States	Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly	"Ryan Coogler's rousingly emotional new film is the best installment since the 1976 original."	POS
United States	Rodrigo Perez The Playlist	"“Creed” is a worthy successor to the best of the “Rocky” movies (...) One of the highlights of “Creed” is Stallone’s best performances in years. (...) A worthwhile entry in the series capturing the spirit of the classic “Rocky” movies."	POS
United States	Andrew Barker Variety	"Not only lives up to the best of its predecessors, but also respectfully forges its own path. (...) a smart, kinetic, exhilaratingly well-crafted piece of mainstream filmmaking"	POS
United Kingdom	Jordan Hoffman The Guardian	"The film keeps pounding through the predictable set-up and storyline until finally (...) it charges back with some scenes of originality, pathos and (...) excitement. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	NEU
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"Coogler makes the transition from the indie world to big-budget studio filmmaking with a result that's sturdy and smooth."	POS
United States	Brian Truitt USA Today	"he Rocky film franchise is in better shape than it has been in years (...) n exciting, emotional and often funny chapter to the iconic legacy of cinematic boxing champ (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"'Creed' is only sporadically compelling, resulting in a movie that never quite shakes the impression that it's a novel but not particularly necessary addition to the Rocky series."	NEU
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"You can feel Coogler's affection for the material in every frame (...) So irresistible is Stallone's blend of tough and tender that Oscar should give him points (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Joe Morgenstern The Wall Street Journal	"Many of the boxing genre’s conventions are observed in the screenplay (...) and the fight sequences are brutally effective.... But the film is full of life and loose humor...and Creed often transcends the genre"	POS
United States	Eric Kohn IndieWire	"'Creed' does justice to its roots while trying something new."	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"'Creed' is a dandy piece of entertainment, soothingly old-fashioned and bracingly up-to-date."	POS
United States	Robert Abele The Wrap	"'Creed' emerges as a reverent entry but never a truly refreshed one."	NEU
