Creed (2015)

Rocky returns but this time to train Apollo Creed's son in a surprisingly solid boxing flick that is one of the best films in the Rocky franchise. It has good dramatic weight with strong performances all around even from Stallone who is on form for the first time in a while. The film is also really well shot including a boxing match that is done in one 'continuous' take. It's nothing new or stand out plot wise but the execution is strong leading to a very enjoyable movie.
Overall a very good boxing film that fits nicely into the Rocky franchise,
