This is also Jordan’s first film as a director. That’s a lot of pressure to put on a threequel; luckily, the film has been a significant hit with both audiences and critics.

“Michael B. Jordan directs a third Creed movie without Rocky” feels like it *should* have been a recipe for disaster. Instead it has blown past all critical and financial expectations and is about to sell more tickets than any movie in this franchise since Rocky IV 38 years ago. https://t.co/AoqNuOerx1

This box office success is a major win for movie theaters and the industry. People will show up for a movie if they love it, and people clearly love Creed III. Even filmmakers not involved with the film are taking note of its great success.

Im so glad we are all remembering the joy of movies in MOVIE THEATERS!!! Congrats Creed III

People are praising the technical aspects of the film, especially Jordan’s direction during the boxing matches. Jothan Major’s performance as the film’s villain is also getting a ton of love!

Yeah, CREED 3 is IT. Stunning directorial debut from Michael B Jordan. The fights were very good. MBJ may have given one of my fave performances he’s done. Jonathan Majors plays the PERFECT antagonist. Soundtrack is also fire. I thoroughly enjoyed this and would watch again.

#Creed3 is so so good and one of my favourites of the franchise, perhaps being a contender of best film this year. Please go and see this on the biggest screen possible, I’m so excited to see what Michael B Jordan does next with his directional career. pic.twitter.com/5Ib1JXIyqY

Creed 3: Michael B. Jordan directs the shit out of this with exhilarating flourish, way outclassing what could’ve been a journeyman effort. Sick choreography and knockout performances across the board make it easy to look past its pat conclusion. Jonathan Majors is astonishing. pic.twitter.com/P4g3IBa6fz

Creed 3 was good! Some incredible flourishes, particularly in the final act, every fight feels grand like it’s straight outta DBZ. Phenomenal directing debut from Jordan. Great nervy performance from Majors, some heartbreaking work there
