Any factual account of Ali's life should probably reference one of the biggest influences and factors in said life.

If you don't care, that's fine. But people probably don't care that you don't care, so all is well.

I make that reply for someone who put that thing too high on Ali resume IMO, huge respect for the champ, not really for the manipulators around him

I don't think we need yet another documentary. What we need is a better film adaptation of his life than the one Michael Mann gave us. Don't get me wrong, Smith was great (a bit too sombre) but alot of the movie was historically inaccurate and much like the central performance, way too serious.

We need a movie and a performance which captures the bright light that was Ali.

why?? Ali already had like 9 documentaries about him and 1 ****ty feature film.

Ain't this like the 5th Ali movie?
I'd like to see the Jack Johnson story.

they already made that. it was good documentary too. check out the video section for the movie, i remember someone share the bluray version of it.

Ali needs a TV series. Movies are too short to cover his life; that's why they always seem too shallow. One Season on Netflix, HBO or Showtime 12 1 hour episodes.

Movies are crazy these days. They talks about films coming out five years from now. I saw that King Kong movie and they teased a Godzilla tie-in, and then say King Kong vs. Godzilla is already on the schedule, but won't be released until May of 2020.

This isn a movie which is odd that it would take take about 4 years which is a bit stretching it out .

Movies on average take 3 years to complete with big budget special effects ,etc ....nothing shocking about King Kong vs Godzilla coming out 2020 .
