The first one was decent. Never saw the other two. Overall, never felt like Creed had the loveable charisma Rocky had.

3 is terrible.

2 is OK

1 is a great

The single continuous shot in the first real fight in 1 was amazing.

I've been on the verge of watching all three Creeds lately since I had only ever seen the first one. This thread now has me rethinking that objective.

I enjoyed the first two but the third was really bad.

1 is good.

2 is not so good.

3 is an epic fail.

About as good as the Rocky movies of the comparable number. They're fun movies. No need to take them seriously.

watched 1 and 2 on a flight just last week.

1 was a ok movie and i enjoyed it. 2 was meh at best.

i did find myself skipping all of the scenes after awhile involving creed and his romance. i found that part poorly done and just flat out uninteresting.

since Stallone isnt in creed 3 i didnt bother.

IMO it's one of those, you are laying around on the weekend and they are on so you watch type of trilogy. The third one is just boring and very very rushed. I think the story had wings, but it just fell flat.

1st is pretty good.

2nd is meh.

3rd is pretty bad. Not unwatchable at all, just pretty boring.

Rocky is a serious film. You can’t judge it based on what the franchise became.

That was my point. Creed was supposed to be emotional and character driven. Was it as good as Rocky? Nah, that was lightning in a bottle, but it hit similar notes. After that? The series (like subsequent Rocky films) became formulaic parodies of the original.
