“Jordan... makes some shrewd decisions – thematically, visually – that make Creed 3 thoroughly entertaining. No small feat, considering the potential pitfalls of diminishing returns.”
★★★★ Matt Maytum, Total Film

“It is, admittedly, exciting to watch. Not because it’s Rocky. But because it’s Rocky reborn.”
★★★★ Kevin Maher, The Times

"Can the Rocky franchise exist without Rocky?... Creed III, finally, has actually answered the question at hand. And it’s done so with a firm and enthusiastic “yes”." 
★★★★ Clarisse Loughrey, Independent

"A rare sequel that comes close to restoring one’s faith in the worth and legitimacy of the franchise as a concept, the latest chapter in what might well be the best we have right now." 
★★★★ Benjamin Lee, Guardian
