Creed will work a bit better as a film for those who have never heard of Rocky. For those who have, once you get passed the concept that it's basically a remake, you'll be fine, as the performances are excellent.
As one of Warner's 4k UHD releases, it's far better looking than those that preceded it, possibly with the exception of In the Heart of the Sea, which also works nicely in HDR, if not quite as well as Creed.
The plus for Creed is that the HDR isn't color / contrast boosted, as seems to have become the style for the majority of the early releases. It's almost as if there's a need to hit the consumer over the head with color, contrast, and baked in teals, oranges and dark blues, to prove that their HDR function is actually on.
As I've said in the past, there is no necessary relationship between 4k and HDR, and especially with 4k, HDR, and boosted attributes.
Shot as data, and finished as a 2k DI, Warner's 4k up-rez works nicely.
For that reason, Creed allows a gorgeous 4k image, with delicate HDR. It's an overall superb disc.
For those who haven't yet stuck a toe in the muddy waters of 4k, I continue to recommend the purchase of the 4k releases, to future-proof your library.
