“Creed III” (***1/2 out of four) was a dynamite third entry showing Adonis Creed (Michael B. Jordan) who has retired from the ring and now runs a boxing gym training and mentoring new boxers but a dangerous childhood friend (Jonathan Majors) from the past re-emerges and challenges him to get back in the ring. Jordan is sensational again in the lead role and Majors matches him with volatile intensity; a very impressive directorial debut for Jordan who is slick and skillful in telling what is probably the best “Creed” entry and the best “Rocky” entry since “Rocky IV” although Sylvester Stallone sat this round out. Boxing scenes are first-rate!
