I thought Ali was quite horrible.
It's like, why watch Will Smith act out these scenes when you can watch the real thing?
The movie would've made a lot more sense to make had they actually made it feel like more of a personal story.
Instead, the film just jumps from event to event basically recreating many moments that are already captured on film to begin with.
They spend about 5 minutes of the movie on Frazier while just rushing through everything. The challenge was to fit his whole life into one movie when you could easily make 4 or 5 movies of different aspects of his life.
It's like a documentary with re-enactments.
I'd highly recommend "When we were kings" over "Ali" to anyone who wants a glimpse into Ali's world.

Forgot a few...

Diggstown- horrible boxing action, but an entertaining story.
Kings of The Ring (documentary)- awesome movie about the great champs Dempsey thru Tyson

And Tysonbruno, I totally agree about the kid in Rocky four and five. I noticed the kid aged six years in a couple of months too.

"The Boxer" with Daniel Day Lewis is cracking he's ex IRA trying to go straight but they won't let him. And "Cinderella Man" thats a real life Rocky story enjoyed that, did Max Baer really kill two opponents?

[Brockton Bomber]

He killed one opponent, and was supposedly never the same after it. Cinderella Man gave a very inaccurate portrayal. Max Baer was a clown out of the ring. They just needed a villian so they could make thier holiday movie magic.

yeah Baer was even DQ'd for clowning around during a fight "they called it stalling" he was basically 6'5 emanuel augustus with power

Thats what I've heard anyway..

[JohnnyKickAss]

Anyone seen "The Great White Hype"...?As far as I remember it has some funny moments...

[THE THIRD MAN]

'Somebody up there likes me' is the best, even Stallone clocked it for his Rocky movie.
Rocky is just a remake of that. Cinderella Man was good and yes Max Baer was treated harshly.
If they made a new movie about Joe Louis poor Max Schmelling would be portrayed as a demon!
That's Hollywood

is that the one where they put the stool out early and she breaks her neck? Clint eastwood? If so it was ok up until that bit.

Maxie sure as hell did....He hit like a truck....His jaw was not so good though...








What about "The great white Hype"...Not your classic boxing movie but funny as all hell...I love the refrence to Suliman they do

[AdamGB]

Raging Bull
Rocky 1
Ali
Cinderella Man
Rocky 2-6 (heh heh heh )

[Oggie]

It is Korean, but if you don't mind subtitles... in my opinion it is one of the best. Awesome storyline and one of the best and most dedicated actors in the business.
