This week, several new movies are arriving on major streaming platforms, including a top-rated rom-com featuring well-known actors. Among the highlights are comedies and documentaries, with a notable film focused on the World Cup and a documentary celebrating a Saturday Night Live legend. Viewers in the U.S. can access all five mentioned films.
One standout is Creed, which has garnered attention for revitalizing the Rocky franchise. Released on November 25, 2015, this film follows Adonis "Donnie" Johnson, portrayed by Michael B. Jordan, who aspires to be a professional boxer while seeking guidance from his father's friend, Rocky Balboa, played by Sylvester Stallone. The film's engaging narrative and strong performances have positioned it as a close contender to the original Rocky film.
Directed by Ryan Coogler, Creed runs for 133 minutes and is currently available for streaming on Netflix. The film's success reflects both the talent of its creators and its appeal to audiences.
