awesome

Rating: Null/10 (22 January 2002)

This was a terrific movie, if a bit too long. It boasts a great performance by Will Smith in the title role. It focuses on not just Ali's more controversial moments (refusal to be inducted into the army, being stripped of his title, etc.) but also on his personal life, crowning achievements, and civil rights activism. It was well done, and the boxing scenes are well choreographed.
