Like the movie, these reviews are too long!

Rating: Null/10 (29 December 2001)

This film is a good compliment to the documentary When We Were Kings and the ESPN Classic biography. Despite its length, it missed covering some really interesting angles like the intentional strategy Ali used to get the following of the people of Zaire, and how he played George Foreman. The background on his relationship with Malcom X and his various wives gave added depth missing from the more sports-oriented programs already seen. Worth seeing if you're an Ali fan, and broad enough to generate interest in a fascinating historical figure. Long, but not quite boring if you like boxing.
