Creed | Rocky Spinoff | November 25, 2015 | Box Office Knockout | Stalloscarnominated!!

Recommended Posts





Do we know who came up with the idea of the montage (the director, the editor, Stallone ?) in the first Rocky and is there another film before Rocky that did it ?

 

The montage with the Bill Conti fanfare is one the most iconic scene in the history of film.

I was actually reading about montages a couple of days ago weirdly enough, and apparently the first montages were in early Soviet era movies. The reason they are present was because of budget constraints in the state-financed movies system so the montage was an effective way to convey the information while spending very little.

 

Rocky may be the first to effectively use it in a training context which has since been parodied and homaged countless number of times though.

Yo baumer, where would you rank Creed in the Rocky franchise?

 

 

It's on par with every other good Rocky.  I give every Rocky at least a 9 except the first which is a ten and the fifth which is the film which shall not be named.  So I can't rank it behind or ahead of the others.  Push comes to shove, I'd say it looks this like:

 

Rocky:  10

Rocky Balboa:  9.5 (if it had a better training montage, it would be the best one imo)

Rocky II:  9.5

Creed:  9.5

Rocky IV:  9.5

Rocky III:  9

Rocky V:  5
