If anyone deserves an award, it is Ali; his charisma makes the film.

Rating: 5/5 --
Almost too concentrated on Ali, but the story plays well with an exhilarating pace and plenty of well-remembered expositional details.

At the time, it was a given that Foreman was going to slaughter Ali in the ring; the beauty of this movie is that it shows in amazing detail the process through which Ali stepped up to the challenge and succeeded against all expectations.
