After making a semi pilgrimage to watch this film in one of the handful of IMAX theaters in California, my main takeaway is frustration. Way too much of the dialogue is drowned out by background noise. Struggling to make sense of what characters are saying is not my idea of a good time. The director appears to have fallen in love with this technique. While he and "critics" verbally put an artistic spin on it, I truly believe there's nothing more to it than a deep seated power complex. It really knocked the enjoyment down several pegs for me. So much going for this film and yet my lasting takeaway is annoyance.

The elephant in the room needs to be talked about. Michael P. Jordan is not a good actor. In fact he may be the most overrated actor of this generation. In a film full of legitimate professional actors, he continuously brings scenes down with his lack of talent. It is borderline cringe worthy in several scenes. It's like they hit up a local theater troupe for the casting of his role. This is the first Creed movie I've watched, and it will be the only one. I can't sit through the obvious mediocrity. Whoever has contributed to his stardom has clearly done so for financial reasons. He may be a great human, I have no idea. But this game is about skill and he is severely lacking.

Was so looking forward to this. The actors lined up are mostly all people I find hilarious. But the writers completely let this down. It is so mediocre that in retrospect the writers should be ashamed to have cashed their paychecks for the project. The fallout from this botch job is going to affect their careers for quite a while. How do you, as a professional writer get gifted this kind of comedic acting talent and give them such absurdly generic scripts as these? So embarrassing. What a shame. Hulu must be sick. They could have thrown $100K in a trash can, never greenlit this and be been in a better position today than they are now. Epic fail.
