Went in completely blind and saw this in IMAX today

Great movie that last scene was incredible

I gotta say though, working the IP films allowed him to learn and bring what he learned and applied it to this film.

That kind of why I’m ok with directors like Coogler going in and doing big blockbusters or IP driven films. It works as a lesson that they can take and apply things to their originals.

Without the Panther films I don’t think he would have been able to pull off some of the things done in this film.

I agree 100%. Coogler is the best person to handle IPs, look at Creed he did a fresh spin and made that s*** feel like an original.

negativity gets the most engagement

Very solid point

Only seen Creed 3 to this day

Wait….
Do you mean you skipped Creed 1 and Creed 2 and only watched Creed 3?

Round 3 (taking my mom and aunt they gon piss themselves at that jumpscare at the start)

ROUND 2 IN IMAX BABYYYY

It always kills me how people watch a movie this stacked with meaning and walk away with the dumbest takeaway ever

Like what do you mean “yeah that’s why you leave them white women alone”

APPROVED

Because it’s not a win financially yet. Pretty simple

Im a madman I admit

you ok????

These first week numbers are a win, and the fact that a big film studio gave a black director $100 million dollars to make an original horror film is a win.
And the film having strong word of mouth is a win.

I hope this film makes a nice profit, but these media publications are always too focused on box office numbers and “film profitability” as soon as a movie releases, instead of actually appreciating quality of the movie itself

I’ve been noticing that as well smh . They were doing the exact same thing for Mickey17

Im gonna fix this I promise

His X-Files show will likely be great btw. I usually wouldn’t have much optimism about an older show getting a reboot, but Coogler always has a clear vision and he is a strong writer.
I think the show will be in good hands, and we are going to get a lot of diverse and interesting stories

The cinematography, lighting, and music will probably be great as well

Naw now I’m curious on how you landed on Creed 3 first

It’s the worst one in the trilogy (still a cool film but it’s below 1 & 2)

It isn’t Coogler

It spoils the previous movies (like now knowing his daughter is deaf when in Creed 2 it was a mystery)

And it isn’t Coogler

Saw the trailer for Creed II back then and I was like "eh, prolly won't watch this," but creed 3 trailer I was like yeah, I like the dynamic between MBJ and Beats by Majors.

When it comes to Creed I, the hype train completely missed me had a lot of bs going on in 2015

“I don’t wanna hear a white persons opinion on this movie”
Like I get it, I can rock with it to a certain extent, but the movie has a lot more to say than just the racial component of the film. The deeper commentary imo is on religion, and maintaining cultural practices
