Glass Jaw: "Creed III," reviewed.
Chris Klimek
I go into a Creed sequel hoping for another Creed or Rocky Balboa but perfectly willing to accept a Rocky III or a Creed II. Creed III is... well, better than Rocky V, but dang. I'm so disappointed.

Here's my NPR review of Chuck, a biopic about Chuck Wepner, the self-sabotaging New Jersey boxer who inspired Sylvester Stallone to write Rocky. It ain't bad, but I wanted to love it. Anyway, Rocky already has a wonderful latter-day lega-sequel.
Here's my NPR review of Bleed for This, writer-director Ben Younger's new biopic about super middleweight champion Vinny Paz's unlikely-but-true comeback from a massive injury. Not essential, but not bad.
In my NPR review of writer-director Ryan Coogler's stirring new Rocky sequel Creed, I avoid mentioning that I sorta-cried four times during this movie but only once during Inside Out. Read it here, and Happy Thanksgiving.
Those who're skeptical of the doctrine of self-mastery through sweat probably won't find much to hold their interest in Southpaw, a boxing melodrama so old-fashioned it's almost new. But I dug it. If my NPR review contains slightly fewer cliches than the movie does, it's not because I took a dive.
