So he will go to Philadelphia to ask Rocky, a friend of his father, to become his trainer.

I think that’s a good beginning, the story is well thought.
Rocky will finish to accept. Adonis chains won fights, he is phenomenal. One day, he is challenged by the world champion. But during his preparation, he will know that Rocky is affected by a serious illness and will be disappointed.
Positives elements are that actors are really good, also the filming style. The scenario is pretty good.
But there is one problem, it’s really strange to see a tired Rocky, normally he is a full-energy man, but in this film he do some things like monologs front of tombstone, he is demystified.
I loved Adonis’s character because he is a ressourceful boy, determined. I think he can be an example for young peoples. Rocky is also an elaborated character. The old Rocky has changed, now he is more mature and wise. He take the place of Adonis’s dad.
Adonis is the son of Appollo Creed. He is about 19. He wants to become a professional boxer like his father. He is ambitious and brave.
Rocky is an old professional boxer. He is brave behind his illnes. He is skilled in the boxe field and a good trainer.

For me, it’s a successful movie. It was difficult to do a new Rock spin-off as well as other, and original. I was impressed by the performance of Micheal B. Jordan.
Characters are very elabored. Before to enter in the cinema I was septic. But I was happy to discover that it’s not a simple boxe movie, but a film about human relationship.
