![]() ![]() The main reason for watching this movie was Ali himself. I also found out that 'The Greatest Love of All' was written long before Whitney Houston made it a hit. 2016, you're quite the motherfucker so far. I learned a few new details about Ali's life I didn't know before. It feels clich to say, but Ali was truly too large and too good for this world, a heavyweight in every sense of the word. James Earl Jones did a fine job as Malcolm X, brief as the performance was. Ernest Borgnine did a capable job as Ali's trainer, but this was not one of his best performances. That's when I remembered: Ali himself was playing the character. He was okay, I guess, but the portrayal of the character improved dramatically at one point, and I also noticed the actor looked so much more like Clay. Chip McAllister made young Cassius Clay too much of a clown. Smith may have been the best actor out of the three, and certainly his film was the best. David Ramsey did an okay job in the first one, and Will Smith tried his best but didn't quite capture the champ as only the champ could. This was the third film (as opposed to documentary) that I saw on the life of the great boxer. Maybe he's no actor, but in this case he accomplished what he set out to do, and he had several really effective scenes, such as when he explained why he didn't want to go to Vietnam, and the scene where Clay demanded that he no longer be called by that slave name.

So, tell me what what what what gave it away that I’m a monster. I’m gonna tear, burst, snap, crash, shatter and break. You better get get get get outta this place. Muhammad Ali does a magnificent job playing himself in this movie.
