Michael B. Jordan’s directorial debut Creed III escapes the shadow of Apollo, Rocky, and Drago and finds new ground for Donnie and the Creed spin-off series to build their own legacy.

“He should’ve called him.” I definitely understand that. But when Adonis says “it just felt easier to forget”, I completely get his side as well. Dame represents an aspect/era of Donnie’s life that he wants to forget about and compartmentalize. It might not be right per se, to just leave him alone, but I understand wanting to cut ties with aspects of ur life/childhood that you consider toxic or mentally breaking.

Jonathan Majors just elevates whatever film he’s in. I was rooting for Dame this entire film

29:50 everything Dame did are actually legit dirty boxing tactics, even that knee to his knee. My boxing coach taught me the exact same things. I was surprised to see it in this movie. Punches to the arms and the armpit are legal. Punching the armpit will weaken the arm because of all the nerves and blood vessels in that area.

The heck with the reaction. I’m jealous of these guys connection. Justin and Jane have such a beautiful bond. I love it.

This movie actually isn’t the last one. MBJ has said they’ll definitely make more. Great reaction y’all

Some of the fighting scenes was inspired by Michael B Jordan's love for Anime which was genius

Also, Jonathon Majors was really good in THE HARDER THEY FALL. A western with Idris Elba, Regina King and many others.

So, Stallone still gets a producer credit because it’s still part of his franchise. But from an acting and creative standpoint, he stepped down from “Creed III”, citing his beef with “Rocky” franchise producer Irwin Winkler, who refuses to relinquish 100% ownership of the franchise to Stallone. By not doing so, Winkler is the one who has the power to produce “Rocky”-related content without needing Stallone’s consent. Stallone did say as far back as “Creed II”, that he would no longer reprise Rocky after that movie. However, he also said that he read the script for “Creed III”, and realized his role wouldn’t have been big anyway, and that the story headed down a darker direction than he would’ve liked. All that being said, while promoting his show “Tulsa King”, Stallone said that if Michael B wanted him to come back for a possible “Creed 4”,’he absolutely would… However, because Winkler would still be involved, he would most likely decline.

You can't call an inmate, they call you.

Just like Sylvester Stallone, Michael B. Jordan has proven that he is as talented of a director as he is an actor! I especially loved how this movie tackles issues of mental health, toxic masculinity, and (for Amara) learning discipline along with fighting techniques like a true martial artist. You can also feel how his love of anime influenced his filming style. The shots of Donny and Dame staring at each other through the locker room wall, the entrances for the fighters of both fights, the super slow motion of the fighters finding weak points in their opponents, even the montages. All of them are screaming like a Super Saiyan with anime love. And the final fight is honest to god one of the best and most creative fight scenes ever filmed. Physically their fighting styles are unique, Dame picks his moments carefully and the strikes hard over and over like a viper; while Adonis fights like dog, scrapping and pressuring his opponent, forcing them to make mistakes. And then when the fight goes into “The Void” that’s when it becomes the most anime inspired live action scene ever made. Donny and Dame seeing each other as kids in the corners and then fighting against prison bars and a homemade ring. And I loved how even though he won and he could retire again as the champ he looks in the ring like he has maybe one more fight in him. Michael B Jordan is now going to be the number one pick for any live action adaptation of any anime show or movie.

I watch this movie atleast 8 times now and it gets me every time I enjoy rewatching it with you guys

I'm learning how to box but I don't need to compete just to prove myself I have been told that boxing is a dangerous sport

This movie was my favorite of the Creed movies because it was very emotional and the show the side of black people in America when it comes to how and who we perceive as family and what happens when 1 of them does something for you out of love even though your not blood . The scene after the fight between Donnie and Dame was the most emotional because you got to see them both release on a negativity that had built up throughout the movie end end of the time frame of what happened to the both of them and you could tell did they really didn't hate each other and they loved each other more than they hate each other . It made me cry one of my best friends like my brother always been here for me through all the bad things that happened to me during the time we've known each other like when my cousin got murdered when I was dead for 7 mins and was 2 mins away from being permanently dead and he would visit me the 2 days I was in a coma and he was there for me after my uncle died a month after I almost died. My friends three sons on my nephews and I love them all unconditionally

For everything that the Rocky series is... Creed is the superior story. It does one thing that Rocky never gave us... BACK STORY. Rocky gave us "now" and beyond... but never "before". What took Rocky to Gazzo? Why was he fighting? What was in the basement? Creed gave us the fuel for the fire. It answered the why of who Donnie was. That's the juiciest bits. Rocky is a fantastic movie. A fantastic character. A fantastic love story. But this, is a masterpiece

Lmao Justin is literally the only reactor I’ve seen who caught The Watcher beat as soon as it began 😂 love you both and congrats on the road to 200k subs!!!!

I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as I did, this was my favorite of the series, followed by creed 2 and then rocky 4.

Been following y’all a long time amazing reactions y’all keep it up 👍🏻 ❤

I love the channel!!! ❤️❤️ now that I know you love the chronic album I love you guys!!! ❤️❤️❤️

jonathan major charism is underrated !

I love you guys!! Greetings from Chile

Such a good movie!

Majors is such a great actor. Hope he didn't throw it all away

Been waiting on this reaction for so long😅

YOU RUN THE HOUSEHOLD. YOY ARE THE MAN WHO IS THE HEAD OF THE MARRIAGE AND HOUSEHOLD

Hope you two are having an great and awesome day ❤

According to Jordan, the character psychology direction of "Creed 3" was influenced by the Japanese boxing manga "Hajime no Ippo.

This movie was phenomenal 🔥🤯❤️🔥🤯 #Creed3

I notice you assumed that they were "gang bangers". in America, guns are really common. Especially for people who live in high crime areas. Some people carry guns for protection. Although yes, Damion was into criminal activity, I didn't see any specific indication he was a gang banger.

29:50 those are dirty boxing tactics. My coach taught me all the same dirty tricks. I was very surprised to see them in this movie. 31:00 the armpit is full of nerves. Enough shots there can actually make your arm go numb. 31:47 George Foreman and a couple fighters from the earlier 1900s used that kind of block

first comment ? love

The watcher the cronic 2001 is my favorite album ever

Jimmy Lennon Jr is a real ring announcer. When boxing was big, And had paper views. HBO had Michael buffer and showtime had Jimmy Lennon junior and Buffer said his catchphrase and Lennon said his "It's Showtime". When he left showtime he had to change his phrase slightly because of copyright and it wasn't the same. "it's fight time" etc. Buffer gets a cut anytime someone says his line.

The new editing style is so much better! The way it used to be with the small circle at the bottom was kinda… ehh.. but this is great!!!

john majors was really good in Devotion!! def check it out

that block cross block that he was doing is a real defensive technique used by George Foreman most famously

You got me cracking up. We have an independent wrestler that wrestles in new jersey in indie companies as a tag team "The New Heavenly Bodies". It's a Duo, but sometimes there is 3 of them. And one of them says or screams lol Justin every time Justin gets hit hard.

Also, I looked at the screen the same way Justin looked at Jane for the tampon/sniffles part 💀💀💀💀💀

The 76-year-old actor said in an interview that he did not participate in the filming of the movie because the story had been given a direction with which he did not agree. "That's a regretful situation because I know what it could have been," Stallone told THR about disagreeing with the new film's tone.3 jul 2023

It’s not the final one, they’ve said they’re making spin offs for Drago and Amara, as well as an anime series.

12:35 yeah, that was a shocker when he took off his robe. He was in absolute insane shape, even put MBJ to shame

What Donnie said to his adopted mom about Dame was necessary but the way he confronted her was wrong . The part when he said dame treated him more like a brother did her own two kids what's also messed up and sad because they took out their anger of what their dad did to their mom out on Donnie. I always wondered why Apollo's other kids were never in the storyline of any of the three movies until Donnie mentioned them

42:30, is Terrance “Bud” Crawford from my city Omaha Nebraska! Love watching your guys Chanel and bless you and your family:)

You guys should watch “The Harder They Fall” Jonathan Majors was great in that movie as well.

I think the fight they were referring to was the tank vs Garcia fight

Another thing that would have been cool would have been if Bianca went and talked to Dame and thanked him protecting Donnie when he was a kid because if he didn't apollo wife would have never been able to find him

Can someone please explain to me why the f does she keeps saying “JUSTIN!”?

The fighter you were talking about with Tyson Fury was Deontay Wilder 😁

Yeah, you're definitely a height snob. 6ft 1 is pretty tall. Hell, I'm only 6ft and I'm still almost always among the tallest people in any room.

I like how u guys watch the movie already, and act like this is ur one time watching it.. 😮..

Moms intentions were pure BUT what she did was basically ROB Donnie of his and Damien’s friendship. She is the true villain of this movie! 😂

Justin!!

You guys have to remember after Creed beat Drago Rocky said it's your turn now basically he was telling him it's your turn to tell your story without me and that's what this movie was about his story not his story with Rocky in his story

Yeah. This is definitely your first time watching this.

Bianca in marvel too, the disrespect to Valkyrie 😅

George Foreman use to block like Dame.

Last thing when it comes to Donnie not checking up on Dame . Once Donnie got he could have looked up and find out what happened to Dame so yes his mom had a part in him not knowing what happened to Dame but like he said he forgot about Dame and didn't care what happened to him

Jan 5 people from this movie were in marvel movies . Michael killmonger majors Kang lil duke played ant-mans stepdad partner in the first Ant-Man movie , Drago was in chang-chi as razorfist and Donnie wife was valkerie in 2 last 2 Thor movies , Ragnarok & love and thunder

#UptheVickers❤

The got the fighting style and the double punch form dragonball z cus goku and vegeta always fought like that and always did the double punch to eachother

Speaking of montage dreamville made an album soundtrack to go with the movie

Ryan coogler wrote & directed the first Creed movie

Jv you're absolutely right about Donnie should have checked up on Dame because Dame protected him when they were in the group home together and protected him after he beat up Leon and was getting jumped by Leon's boys . Especially I the black community in America if someone does something for you that leads to you having a better life and in turn cost them a better life, you're supposed to look out for them especially if you both consider each other family

As I read, Stallones attempt to purchase the creed franchise fell through so he decided not to be in this movie. But he said he may return if there’s a sequel.

Bianca in some marvel movies as well she's valkyrie

Yes you can bet on yourself to win. You can't do the opposite

"if you're such a good boxer why are you doing this"........ask every rapper sometimes they just be doing hood stuff

Adonis was still a kid when Damian was in jail his mom hide the letters that Damian wrote him to you really think back then he was mature enough to process to go see his friend in jail when at some point he was also in juvy ? after that he may have think bc his mom hide the letters that Damian maybe didn't want to see him he also had a lot going on .. honeslty Justin would be a petty friend to have after a trauma tho Damian has every right to be mad but he was doing way too much bc even tho Adonis didn't reach when he was in jail he is the one who gave him a chance to Boxe ..

Adonis Johnson Creeds mum wasn't Apollo's wife he had an affair and his dad was killed by Drago before he was born and later Apollo's wife adopted him xx

Jane and jv , the actor who played Paulie died last month

And yes Donnie daughter should always solve problems but when you try to do that and the person that's messing with you keep messing it's you and keeps doing what they've been doing to you , you sometimes how to use aggression towards that person because it will be the only way to make them stop . I'm pretty sure the girl that Donnie's daughter punched was told to leave her alone but she didn't stop and his daughter couldn't take it anymore. Violence does have to be used in order for things to get better because if not then they didn't have to have all of the wars we've had

Deontay Wilder 28:40

4:40 NBA players have only been allowed to play in the Olympics since 92

You all gotta also remember that Donnie was a kid too when Dame got locked up. Putting the blame on him is a bit unfair too if you ask me

Jane everything that Donnie accomplished was also because of Dame taking the wrap for him and Apollo wife instead of sweeping Dame under the rug she should have gave Donnie the letters Dame gave to it tried to help him out and looked into what happened to Dame and try to help in some way

Idk if y’all knew, but the actress that played Amara is actually deaf.

Well, the "Rocky" franchise had Apollo Creed coming back...

🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓 0:22

I also didn't like the fact that Bianca mentioned Damien having a gun when she knows that lots of black men who live in poor neighbors in America have guns for protection

Did you know eminem wrote those lines for dre?

why she saying Justin so much bruh

Disneymovies are called Creed not Creed and Rocky

If there is a creed 4 I got a feeling it's gonna be about his daughter boxing

You can def bet on yourself Floyd may weather has made millions on himself lol

Ryan Garcia

Dame didn’t cheat. He threw a cheap blow which has happened soo many times in boxing. But imagine the dude that you defended in a fight that he started, with the end result being him running & you serving over a decade…without a single word heard from him. Then he became the champion of the world while you sat behind bars…and once you finally got out & won, that same dude gave you zero recognition & was actually on the opposing side. IMAGINE the mental trauma from that shit…that’s why I think Dame was done wrong CONSISTENTLY throughout this movie…tbh…I think they all got lucky that Dame wasn’t a legit killer after going through all that. He handled himself the best that a person legit could in this situation.

See, what Damien realizes is that he’s older, and he’s not in his prime years anymore when it comes to the athletics of boxing. So, now that Damien is fighting this younger boxer who’s stronger and quicker than him, he’s using a smart systematic form of “Dirty Boxing“ to intelligently break Felix down physically debilitating key bodyparts of his body in the ring to create openings for attacks so that he can easily win, and become champion. 29:38

The thing that bugs me about the movie was duke son saying Donnie didn't owe Dame anything since he didn't even look out for Donnie when he was younger and I'm pretty sure Duke's dad knew about Donnie since he and Apollo were so close

A lot of people ask, "Why was Donnie upset with Dame?" Maybe because Dame gaslighted him into giving him a title shot, and when he was training with Felix, he was targeting his arm before their fight. As much as I love this film my only gripe was that they didn't show Dame winning more fights before fighting Adonis. Honestly, I think Donnie should've lost.

I like the reaction but you really don’t have to say “Justin” every 2 seconds. It’s beyond annoying.

It looked like an ok movie enjoyed your reaction, I’ll never actually watch it due to the sly situation but none the less you two did great

Donnie was a pretty shitty friend. And in the very end as he walked out of the locker room and Dame sat there alone, I was thinking bro still has no one and messed up his whole life sticking up for Donnie

Mistake getting married

I was in tears too because Adonis owes everything to Rocky, yet they could barely mention his name once in passing. It was rude and disrespectful.

As far as Dame he got more time than he deserved for what he did and the reason why he got the time he did was because he was a black kid from the ghetto of Los Angeles with no lawyer looking out for him and the fact that he wasn't a white American

Yea this movie is OK. Not a big fan of it. In real life non of this would of happened.

This isn't a Rocky movie. They barely mention him at all. I am not a fan of the fake backgrounds either.

Didn’t like this one. Too many plot holes. So many parts of the story just didn’t make sense to me and I didn’t really feel a pay off at the end. Regardless I loved the first two. Series needs Rocky also.

Honestly all the creed movies are garbage, creed 2 had drago and his son and i cared about their story far more than that punk Adonis who it clearly made no sense for him to win in the end plot armor aside.

A real man does not cry for Hollywood
