I am with you about Creed btw. It isn't one of the worst movies of the year for me, but it is a very mediocre movie imo.
re Creed - I was never a fan of the Rocky franchise but checked this out recently due to Coogler and Jordan (I really liked Fruitvale Station and Black Panther was good of its kind too). It probably wouldn't make a worst list had I seen a few more films, but filling out the lists for more recent years becomes increasingly difficult as 1) I have so many movies I hope to see but haven't yet and 2) as I get older I become more and more discerning about what I watch, so tend to gravitate away from anything that I am reasonably certain I'll dislike. Life is short! Anyway, it was watchable, more of a mediocrity than an outright bad film, but it really was such an obvious compendium of cliches, right from the opening scene through to the climax - and much, much too long. That so many critics raved it so enthusiastically is puzzling to me.
