Creed III has been one of my most anticipated films of the year, I loved the first film, Jonathan Majors continues to amaze me and MBJ was directing. Then the trailers kept getting better and better. I was ecstatic when Friday came around.
I don't even know where to begin with this movie because there is just so much I love about it!

Reading reviews on this fantastic site, especially from the likes of Mike Apps, makes me frustrated with myself that I don't have a consistent or measurable rating system.

That (and the star rating) is for the absolute destructive action of Sam Hargrave. That guy does not want you to miss a moment, so the camera drives after cars, through windows over doors, down allegs and sewers, into homes and down building. The action is intense and you can actually enjoy it!
And if we never got a second film that ending would just about be perfect.
Maybe it's just because February was a very difficult month, and I haven't watched a movie in a long time, but that was incredible.
