Could have been great

Rating: 4/10 (3 January 2002)

The best thing about this movie is the actors. Wil Smith was a great Ali. As were the both unrecognizable Mario Van Peebles (Malcom X) and Jon Voight. And, Jamie Fox gave a memorable performance as Bundini. This movie had some really beautiful moments between characters, but all were under developed and in many cases they didn't bother identifying the characters (who was Paul Rodrigez supposed to be?) This film left me wondering what Muhammed Ali was really like. At times they seemed to forget to focus on Ali. Oh yeah, and someone should take out whoever's responsible for the shaky camera shots. It was worse than the Blair Witch Project.
