Forget What You Think You Know

Loved, reviled, underestimated and oversimplified, Muhammad Ali was anything but ordinary. One thing though was indisputable: he was "The Greatest".This is what we know. Now prepare for what you don't. In his Academy Award nominated and critically acclaimed role, Will Smith stars as Ali, the man who dared to take on any opponent in or out of the ring. From black segregation in the 60's to the U.S. Government's involvement in the Vietnam War; Ali made it his own personal fight and paid the ultimate price. Yet despite every move to keep him silent, to stop him boxing, to prevent him from being the best, Muhammad Ali showed that he was never down for the count. So take your ring-side seats. This film packs a punch you never saw coming.

This movie was a little slow for my liking, in saying that it was interesting to find out a little more about the man.

Well-made movie, and Will Smith really did look like Ali in many scenes. It just didn't have any wow factor for us, despite being an exceptionally good piece of filmmaking. Good points: telling the... Read more
