AtariLegend Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 This is a good trailer: It also gives away a bit too much.The original actually comes across as a serious drama film, where the real hope comes later on. It's fairly bleak early on, it is a proper underdog story. That trailer doesn't scream underdog to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coltrane Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 This might be nit-picking BUT the one problem I have with the trailer is the "a great fighter once said..." thing at the end. Rocky said that to his kid outside of a resturant when no one else was around. So unless Rocky's kid ran and told everyone or at least Apollo's kid, he wouldn't know Rocky said that. Creed saw the movie that's how he knows what Rocky said. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange Broue Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 (edited) Why the rap music? because he's black? godprobablyand this film got nothing to do with Rocky, and Stallone's "comeback" is laughable at best Edited July 1, 2015 by Strange Broue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Why the rap music? because he's black? godprobablyand this film got nothing to do with Rocky, and Stallone's "comeback" is laughable at bestI don't think Stallone is trying to have a second comeback with this film. He just happens to play the same character in a new story that takes place in the same universe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just happens to play the same character in a new story that takes place in the same universe.Besides, he is already working on his comeback for Rambo 5. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 What's there to "comeback" from though? His career isn't in the slumps. Rocky Balboa was his comeback. He's remained in the limelight with some decently successful action since then. At this point he's not trying to reinvent the wheel so much as to just make entertaining films that recall his heyday, and he's doing a pretty good job.

AtariLegend Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 The Expendables was a success, the rest not so much. Mostly critically savaged films since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bond Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 But my point is I don't think he's trying to make any critical masterpieces nor is he attempting to stage another comeback film. If he was he'd be directing yet another Rocky film of his own and not having a supporting role in a spinoff. I can't even count the next Rambo as a comeback because he's been saying there would be a fifth and final one since the fourth came out.

James Bond Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 His films are a big hit in China.I thought Rambo IV was the best Rambo since First Blood.China has been a great market for films in the last few years. The industry has really opened up there and the box office reflects that.Also I agree big time. I don't really care for the second and third films but First Blood is a classic and Rambo was a great modern action fest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgy Zhukov Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Their box office is even bigger than ours. India also but they prefer to pirate Western films than pay for them. China has guaranteed the future of franchises like Transformers and Fast and the Furious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Bond Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Looks very promising indeed. I can't believe it's already been 9 years since Balboa. Back then I never thought we'd see Rocky on the big screen again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
