Not that bad at all

Rating: 7/10 (29 December 2001)

First of all, this movie is not as bad as others have said. The boxing scenes were fantastic and more realistic then any of the Rocky's were. You can't say the story writing is bad when it is an autobiographical picture either. There was only so much they could put into it. Considering I was like 11 years old when Ali won his 3rd belt, I remember him being a great fighter that bounced around a lot. He was ugly to watch for the most part but effective. And the movie caught that. Will Smith did a great job too getting buff and mimicking his moves in the ring. But the movie was uneven and a little long so my suggestion is to have fun with the actor's portrayals in this movie.
