Movie Reviews of When We Were Kings
Movie Review: Great Sports Documentary
Summary: 4 Stars
Here is a great film that encompasses the era, the sport, the culture and the significance. If you like documentaries this one will not dissapoint, there is no requirement to like sports or boxing for that matter. This fight was about many things but truly conveys a message of stregnth and spirit.Movie Review: This left me for interested in George Forman than Ali
Summary: 3 Stars
I liked this if nothing else to see Ali, Foreman, James Brown, Don King and every black celebrity who was anybody young. I know the back story on this and there was so much material that the filmmaker was afraid to cut anything so just kept everything for nearly 30 years. I would have liked to see the entire fight but I really enjoyed it and have shown it to several people.
I was actually more interested in George Foreman after this and would like to see another documentary focusing more on him. I had the good fortune to meet Mr. Foreman in Houston a few years ago and he was very charming and articulate. It's nice to NOT be disappointed in a celebrity athlete for once.
Movie Review: come to bongo congo, meet the hypesters & the hipsters ...
Summary: 3 Stars
released more than 20 years after it was filmed, this documentary follows the 1974 heavyweight championship bout between muhammad ali and george foreman. staged in a circus atmosphere in the nation of zaire, the fight took on all sorts of political implications. whats obvious now is that it was replete with hype, on the part of ali, on the part of the zaire government, and mostly on the part of promoter don king. and the oblivious sad sack is foreman, who learned all about hype himself. the movie is probably too long, but i liked it.
Movie Review: Here the Man
Summary: 3 Stars
No need to watch Will Smith imitate him, here you can see and hear Ali as he was, in his prime, as man who confronted greatness.
