I'm watching Foreman biopic at moment and it's weird. It looks like the fighters are CGI half the time. It's not terrible but they really rushed through Foreman's career so far. Looking like it will be fairly average so far.

It’s good and the best they could manage due to big George not wanting to address a lot of that old stuff due to his religion and how that could affect his marketing. We need an unofficial one done without his consent cause that’s the only way we get to see smooth juggernaut George with harem of women.

The hurricane was one of my dad's favourite boxing movies that and the boxing movie 'Gladiator' the one with Cuba gooding jr about underground unlicensed boxing. It bombed in the box office and reviews but it's one of them films that's easy to watch

I finished it now. I would give it a 5/10 (where 5 is an average film). It was definitely interesting to hear his story. I always remember things like that more when I've seen them visually.

Yes an unofficial version would be great but it's hard to see someone making one tbh.
