Movie Reviews of Don King - Only In America
Movie Review: Ving Rhames was wonderful as Don King
Summary: 5 Stars
The only things I knew about Don King was that he's a fight promoter and that wild hair he has. I like fight movies even if I don't like the reality of it. Weird huh? Ving Rhames was wonderful as Don King. I can understand why he won a Golden Globe award (which he gave to Jack Lemmon). Don King wouldn't have been so gracious. He was arrogant, mean (he killed a guy, beat him to death), racist (but a reason comes up in the film) and generally unlikeable. But Ving made him three dimensional in such a way that I admired King. He's smart and savvy (even if he does butcher the English language). He has a lot of spunk and drive. If he could have been honest with himself and others, no telling what he could have accomplished.
This movie has great moments. My favorite was when he was selling the idea of helping him get Mohammad Ali to participate in a fundraiser for a Black hospital. He was caught by a preacher and his wife using the MF bomb. So he turned that around in such a way that was hilarious.
Movie Review: Good Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was very realistic as it had a real story line. The only part I did not like was the way it was presented as a commentator and then excerpts. I would have rather have seen a movie without the Don King commentator. Also, the title, Only in America, does not fit this movie at all.Movie Review: LOL
Summary: 5 Stars
I know that this was supposed to be a biopic of Don King but Ving Rhames (King) was hilarious. I couldn't really hate Don King for all the shady things he did because I was laughing too hard. This was a great movie with great acting.Movie Review: Simply the Best
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the best movies I have seen. Ving Rhames is excellent,at times is hard to tell the difference between Ving and the Don King. I reccommnend this movie to any boxing enthusiast, or anyone interested in Don King.Movie Review: Hard To Find
Summary: 5 Stars
Never thought it possible to find this outrageous Don King (that was probably redundant).flick . If one has great memories of those times to relive and is not "language sensitive",go for it!
