Film of the year: Creed or Straight Outta Compton?

[valet]

I remember when Compton came out that some were calling it a classi.? Now, I'm hearing the same thing about Creed. So which is the better Black film?

 

[Swiggy]

Creed... off the strength of Dre having more knockouts and none of them being female

Straight out of Compton up there, tho

 

[O.T.I.S.]

I haven't seen SOC yet (was supposed to. Just gonna wait until it's out on bluray)

But Creed should be considered a classic. Both as a boxing movie and as a Rocky movie.

Creed

First 2/3's Straight Outta Compton > Creed

As a complete movie Creed > Straight Outta Compton

Creed is the better Film in every aspect. Also Straight Outta Compton loses because Dre had his character win more fights than any character from any Rocky movie.

 

[O.T.I.S.]

The scene where Adonis first called Rocky "Unc" was hilarious...

Spoiler

Adonis: "Yo Unc watup"

Rocky: "What does Unc mean"

Adonis: "It's short for Uncle.. It was either that or OG"

Rocky: "What does OG mean?"

Adonis: "Old ass gangsta"

Rocky: "Yeah, I like Unc better"

Was going to make a thread about which film gets a Best pic nod.

Too bad it can't be both


However, both THR and Variety are predicting Straight Outta Compton to get in over Creed

Creed is 15x the movie compton is

the musical aspect..the biopic aspect..the social relevance aspect. Creed is the better flick but straight outta compton has more going for it

Neither..Mad Max:smugbond: but Creed is my 2nd choice

Mad max is classified as a black film?

 

[PlayerNinety_Nine]

Out of the two: Creed. Michael B Jordan had to carry the film as the star and he did it really well. Got to salute Coogler, Sly and Tessa Thompson's fine ass too. The Boy Wallace all grown up now

Straight Outta Compton was dope though. Loved the factor of seeing so many legendary moments on the screen. Even though the Doc (tor Dre) Tales, got a little outlandish.

Really rated the cat who played Eazy, I'd like to see him in more stuff.

And while we're at it - Big up Rick Famuyiwa for 'Dope' too.

Mad max is classified as a black film?

ah thats my b for not reading it and being only half awake BUT, I do have a question though, how do we mark or classify a black film? Majority black cast or subject matter because I don't really see Creed as a black film as much as I see it as a Rocky film and Rocky movies encompass everything to me, even the bad ones

That's a good question that will return different answers from different people.
