Portrayed him well, but not his life

Rating: 4/10 (26 December 2001)

Will Smith did an amazing job portraying Mr. Ali, in all the aspects of his life. My girl, friend who knew nothing about him, now knows how great a fighter, and a man Mr. Ali was. The problem is they did a terrible job portraying his life. The Thrilla In Mannila was a greater, more monumental fight than the Rumble in the Jungle. And it wasn't even mentioned, let alone given 1/3 of the film like the Rumble was. Also, there was no mention of his Olympic Gold Medal. That was a huge part of his early life and career. These oversights brought down the movie.
