WAIT FOR THE VIDEO!!
I saw the movie last night. It was too long and had too many scenes that could have been left on the cutting room floor (ie spend 10 minutes showing Ali jogging up the street, huh?).
In contrast there was nothing about his earlier life as most autobiographies tend to have. The movie did not answer a number of questions about his life before or after boxing.
As far as acting, Will did a credible job, Jada looked like a tart and a ho (was her real life character really like that?) and Jamie Fox could have stayed home. Mario van Peebles SUCKED as Malcolm.
I was also kind of lost because I did not recognize many of the players/characters in Ali's life.
