Islam this - Islam that

Rating: 5/10 (12 December 2004)

The film 'Ali' was one of the worst boxing films of all time. To be honest, I don't even regard this film as an action/drama film at all. All this film is, is an Islam promotion/documentary on what its about to be a Muslim. Will Smith who played the part of Muhammed Ali/ Cassius Clay was an alright choice for the part, however I can't even take him seriously as an actor anymore for I can only remember him as a child actor (ie.In the TV series - The Fresh Prince of Bel air) and not an adult actor. Fine - Being a Muslim is what Muhammed Ali was all about, but whether or not Malcolm X was assassinated and everything else in this film that had to do with Islamic history and lifestyle should be irrelevant to this film, as this film should be about Muhammed Ali becoming the Heavy weight Boxing Champion, and not the Muslim prophet Muhammed and Malcolm X. If your thinking about becoming a Muslim, than go ahead and watch the film 'Ali', but otherwise don't bother.
