Less than what I expected

Rating: 5/10 (14 May 2002)

Ali was one of the worst films of the year last year. I was surprised to see that it was nominated for 2 oscars. Sure, Will Smith's performance was absolutely stunning. I believe he did a tremendous job in playing Ali. However, I believe that the screenplay was awful. It showed me stuff that I already knew about Ali and exaggerated it over and over and over again. The final scene in which Ali fights George Foreman makes you want to fall asleep. It takes so damn long and looks so damn boring. There was no dialogue during that scene. There were many other sequences that seemed very boring. All except the sex scene between Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. That was probably the best part of the movie. Now, don't get me wrong, if you don't know anything about Ali, it is absolutely phenomenal. However, if you know something, don't see it. Michael Mann directs Ali as if it were for dummies. Seriously, do not see this film because you will waist 3 hours out of your life. (which is how long the film is)
