That's what I'm saying. Replace the jingoism with a harsh criticism of racial oppression and political treason in America today.
I know I'm probably asking too much of a boxing franchise but to me that's the only way to make a Creed/Drago movie worthwhile at the moment. It doesn't have to go that deep but to completely ignore those themes would feel like a wasted opportunity.

Southpaw is not better than Creed or Balboa, sorry

Its not that I don't think Stallone can direct a good Rocky film, this is no longer about Rocky. They share similar themes but they are different people entirely. I suspect Coogler knows the character better.
But I don't think it will be bad. Just that it could be better
And if we are doing this:
I > Creed >=Balboa > III > II > IV >= V

I would say that the street brawl is the best part!

Sly isn't a bad director. Just keep it low key and don't go over the top and it'll at least be "okay".

And there are aspects of the Rocky franchise that Coogler would not be able to replicate
Such as Paulies sexual relationship with a big ugly robot
Count of Monte Sawed-Off

I'm going to need new Robert Tepper and Survivor songs as well.

Can anybody explain me thoroughly all this shittalk about rocky balboa movies?
And how the fuck is creed anything better than the OG balboa movies? Like what EXACTLY was better done?
It was a good movie but nowhere to the hype that rocky movies give me and im not talking nostalgia wise but action wise and the sentimental part in there. Theres not even a place for comparison, rocky the typical humble guy giving himself a shot and creed a cocky as hell dude thinking he can beat some local dudes and then go straight at the world champion.
Oh wait..i forgot..its just GAF. Therell always be whining about even the greatest stuff out there.

For me:
1 > Balboa > 2 > Creed > 3 > 4 > 5
That being said, Rocky 4 far/away wins for soundtrack. "Hearts on Fire" is 80s cheese at its best.

He won't even try.
The sequel will be about what happens when you're a success and the world expects greatness from you but you've got doubts. That's something Stallone knows all about.
People forget that dude was Rocky and Creed before Rocky hit it big.

I'm down, I loved Creed and I like Sly as a director and writer. I really wish Sly would do one thing for the film industry before he retires for good... bring back that cheesey McCheese montage scenes and music.
Enough with the sneaky writing meant to "catch you off guard". No, stop... Give me Good guy, bad guy, music, more music, montages and soundtracks to span decades. Also big muscles, slow motion, mustaches, bikinis and robots.

Slightly? Well, I guess they did change the girlfriend's issue from being shy to going deaf. Don't get me wrong, I loved Creed, but that's because I love the original.
You act as if they can't figure out a way to play on that.
What... that was one one of the best parts of the movie. That's modern Philly culture, really showed that they knew their stuff
Is that so? Care to elaborate this a bit more? I'd be really interested.

The first Rocky is still the best in the franchise, so obviously Stallone is more than qualified.
I'm not from Philly so someone else can tell you more but just like in the movie theres a huge scene for riding dirt bikes and atv's in the streets over there. Google will probably help you out more than I could, also check out youtube for videos
