REVIEW: Creed III (2023)
Jed | Hollywood Scholar | Mar 7, 2023 | 0
Creed III is a movie, and simply that. It’s not a bad movie or a good one. It is not thought-provoking or profound, and it isn’t unique in any way. It merely exists. Compared to many other films in theaters, Creed III is not a bad choice for an entertainment experience if someone has ...
