Movie Reviews of When We Were Kings
Movie Review: A Story Worth of History
Summary: 5 Stars
This is not a perfect documentary. Some of the music is already a little dated, the exposition a little choppy, and the interviews a little trite. But the fight between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman is one of those true life stories that is better than fiction could ever be, and this film does it justice. I'm not a fighting enthusiast, but it taught me enough to appreciate what made both Foreman and Ali such skillful craftspeople. It also highlighted the magnetic personalities of Ali, Don King, B.B. King, James Brown and even George Foreman that made the event possible. Although I'm suspicious of celebritism, I can't argue with heroism.

Movie Review: One of My Absolute Favorite Films
Summary: 5 Stars
I was going to say that it was my favorite documentary, but it transcends the form and puts its shadow across any type of movie you could think of. "When We Were Kings" is as inspiring as it is educational; the fight between Foreman and Ali will show you a philosophy so profound and so sharp it'll feel as if a glove is making contact with your cheek.
Absolutely stunning, recommended for all - never before has being "up against the ropes" had such awesome effects on my thinking.
Movie Review: El amor propio y la grandeza
Summary: 5 Stars
Este es un clásico. No es acerca de boxeo, aunque puede disfrutarse algunos intercambios. Es acerca del valor, del quererse a sí mismo. De buscar con audacia el propio camino. A diferencia de las especificaciones técnicas del DVD, tiene SUBTITULOS EN ESPAÑOL. Pienso usarlo en mis clases de administración para ejecutivos de empresas. Un ejemplo, extremo y NECESARIO. EMOCIONANTE ¡¡¡¡¡¡
Movie Review: By far, the best summary about Ali`s personality
Summary: 5 Stars
A must for a boxing fan, and a double must ++ for those of us who admire Ali. To know all the detours and delays to have this movie fixed makes us think it doesn`t matter, at last we have it. You can hate Don King, but it`s needed to recognize his effort to do something big, with a music festival with mainly black musicians, in Africa, in a time when still racial stuff was hot. You have to watch it.Movie Review: One of the greatest documentaries ever made.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is truely one of the best movies I've ever seen. If you were lucky enough to grow up in the seventies and witness this amazing event, I was [..] at the time, you will not be dissappointed. In my opinion Ali vs Foreman is a David and Goliath story. Ali was expected to get destroyed by Foreman but cut him down with character and sheer will. It doesn't get any better than this!
