Ali: Movie Review
This movie was a big mess, but Will Smith as Ali was the best and the best don't mess!
In order to understand this movie you need to know the following people because the movie doesn't fully explain who they are and their relationship to Ali:
Mohammed Ali's Father: Marcellus Clay
Malcom X
Martin Luther King Jr.
Idi Amin
Don King
Howard Cosell
Maya Angelou
Dr. Ferdie Pacheco - Ali's Doctor. His review of Ali.
Angelo Dundee - Ali’s chief trainer.
Drew "Bundini" Brown - Ali's confidant
Howard Bingham - Ali's photographer
We ended up seeing Ali because Lord of the Rings was sold out. The lady sitting next to me had the price tag still attached to her hat. The guy sitting on the other side of my wife refused to move his coat to let anyone sit near him, so he took up four seats for himself in a packed theatre.
I thought Wil Smith did a great job making me believe that he was Ali. Most of the supporting cast was underdeveloped leaving you wondering who was who after walking out of the theatre. Never mind that, I was wondering who they were during the movie.
Who was that guy singing through the first half hour, a younger version of Ali's dad?
Questions, I have a lot of questions...
