I'd rather recieve a sharp blow to the head

Rating: 3/10 (22 January 2002)

I went to this movie expecting an at least mildly entertaining film with some good fight scenes. I instead viewed a nearly unbearable piece of overhyped crap that was held together only by the fight scenes (which were, in all honesty, pretty cool). This disastrous film made it impossible for me to care at all about what happened to the main character, Muhammed Ali. If they had developed on one theme and perhaps exposed some respectable, likeable characteristics in the guy, instead of portraying him as this womanizing hypocritical boring ass, then perhaps it would have been possible to care about what happened to him. As it was, all I could care about was how much more time I had to sit through the painful dialogue and attempt at a plot. If you must see this movie, do yourself a favor, wait until it comes out on video and fast forward to the fight scenes.
