    Nope. Only J. K. Simmons is worthy to be J. Jonah.

    Meh. All merchandise is considered spoiler material. Remember when the soundtrack CD to Episode I was released two weeks before the film? The track listing completely gave away Qui-Gon's death.

    Finally got to see Creed, and I must say that it is the single best Rocky film since the first. The trailers don't tell you exactly how deep this film goes in depicting the life of Adonis "Don" Creed. Ryan Coogler delivers with outstanding direction - especially with one fight in the second act that uses only one camera and one take. Michael B. Jordan's performance as Don is his way of apologizing for Fant4stic, and we will definitely forgive him for that. Many critics have already hailed Sylvester Stallone's performance to the point where they claim he'll take home the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, and I don't doubt that one bit. British boxer Tony Bellew also delivers as World Light Heavyweight Champion "Pretty" Ricky Conlan, the film's antagonist. And this film gives you an idea of how rabid the UK boxing crowd is in their home turf. In terms of character development, Creed really hits home. Rocky Balboa, who has been nearly everyone's childhood hero, is now older and wiser, but after the passing of Paulie, you can't help but tear up, as his time is almost up. Don, the new underdog and hero, is a stark contrast to what Rocky was 40 years ago. Whereas Rocky was a complete nobody with nothing to lose in the first film, Don has the heavy burden of being the illegitimate son of Apollo Creed. Despite being taken in by Apollo's widow Mary Anne (played by Phylicia Rashad) during his childhood, Don is not comfortable with other people calling him "Baby Creed", and Rocky is there to always remind him to fight only for himself. Like Rocky Balboa, Creed has numerous Easter Eggs that reference the previous Rocky films; at the same time, it assures us that Rocky V never happened. The whole setting of Philadelphia is all familiar to long-time fans, from Mighty Mick's gym to the Rocky Steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Other callbacks include Rocky's pet turtle and the "chase the chicken" training. Ludwig Göransson (Fruitvale Station, 30 Minutes or Less) delivers an outstanding score that doesn't overburden us with the hip-hop sound of other sports films; it also makes numerous nods to Bill Conti's works in the previous Rocky films. Overall, Creed is worth every penny of the full admission ticket this year, and a worthy addition to anyone's Blu-ray collection.

    Wrong person, dude. This film stars Jason Scott Lee, not Jason Lee.

    That Barbatos upgrade has an F90 vibe to it.
