Just watched this again for the 10th time. Look, i know this was a shitty time for black people (and others) but look at what it produced! MLKing, MAli, MX, SCooke! All at the same time! Where are their equivalents today! JayZ, lennox lewis, Obama? Pa-lease! These jokers dont come close. I mean forget black ppl, look at ANY Ppl today, look at subsequant generations! Why is it that the only catalyst for greatness seems to be oppression and injustice? Ideas?

Awesome! The greatest opening with the greatest singer singing for the greatest fighter. Well done M.M.! This was one of my favourite films ever. If i had a time machine, visiting Ali during this period would be one of my destinations. Aaha if only

Michael Mann (The director of this film) is a very good director. Look at that editing, camerawork and overall flow!

what an underrated piece of cinema

this film was so incredibly underrated. I believe it is flawed, yes -- revealing little about Ali that avid fans didn't already know. In that respect, Mann played it a little too safe. But, boy did Will Smith nail this. Ali, was a quiet often somber individual who was an entirely other person when the camera was on. He knew how to manipulate the media and his reputation in an almost Machiavellian manner. I thought the fight scenes were a bit underwhelming though. Oversized gloves? Yeah.
