Seen this last night, actually enjoyed it. Very good exposure for the club. What a top blue Bellew seems to be wearing the colours for a big movie like that. I seen a Kopite scarf made it into the movie somehow, even when it's about us they manage to ruin it.

Overall I wouldn't discourage anybody from watching it.

I noticed that. Glad thou the producers listened to Bellew when he told them he would not be signing a contract if the original story line - which was about Conlan the kopite - wasn't changed.

Everton's involvement in the film is solely because of him, not Stallone.
 

The producers wanted pretty Ricky Conlan to be a kopite, they were planning using Anfield before Bellew told them no chance I cannot do this. Listen to his interview on Toffee TV it's on YouTube.
 
I have a little question.

Goodison has a capacity of 39600 to 40221 depending on who you beleive. Creed claims that there is a crowd of 100,000 for the big fight at the end of the movie at Goodison.

Is this possible? Like the stands all sold out, and then the rest on the pitch?

Only if it included a rematch

I actually saw this last night, really enjoyed it. It was as close to the original as I've seen but not as good.
 
Watched this on Sunday night

Thought it was absolutely dreadful, but great exposure for the club. Was very surprised at how much exposure we were given in the film

I'm a lover of the Rocky franchise but I thought it was a terrible film, sorry.

Serious question, I don't necessarily mean for you to answer, but what image do people outside of Liverpool have of kopites?

I don't know the story of the film, but were they hoping for a virginal nerd to hero? Trying to show that even the most clueless and deluded can come good?

Or do they have an image of kopites being a bit more 'streetwise', for a want of a better word?

Exactly the same as you have, from my conversations with people from Liverpool, from the UK, and observing their fans back home in Bulgaria.
 
I personally quite enjoyed the film, but, with being a person who has followed Bellew to numerous places to watch him fight, I found it a bit disarming that he was in it. then wit the Goodison stuff, it just made a film, that is meant to be based around realism as much as possible, seem a little unrealistic. I did enjoy it though. It was well shot, and the story was well rounded, though the parts in it were solid and good character composition.
