The "Rocky" formula is tried and true, easy to replicate but also easy to screw up. "Creed" gives that formula a nice facelift, not really changing anything at its core but doing it so well that you don't really even notice. Starring Michael B. Jordan as Adonis Johnson, the illegitimate son of Apollo Creed, this movie is a rolling firecracker, a solid, upper-tier entry in the "Rocky" mythos that does a great job of reigniting the franchise by getting its traditional main character the hell out of the way.
