This movie was pretty good. It's unfortunate that it didn't make more money.

Is it the greatest movie in the world? No, but I was entertained throughout.

I thought that while the actor who played Muhammad Ali didn't quite look like him, he certainly had a charming personality and presence that reminded me of him.

I think the Michael Moorer fight was well done with the flashbacks of George's life as he lands a miracle punch to obtain his signature victory.

I would argue that this was certainly better than the Will Smith "Ali" movie.

8/10

It was a barnstorming film that moved along at a very enjoyable pace.

As a long time Foreman fan, I actually did not know this film existed until today over a year after it was released.

I think like George himself this one will mature like fine wine and people will be watching in many years to come to find out how a 45 year old regained the heavyweight championship almost 20 years after he lost it.
