Ali is a good movie only if you are not a boxing fan or if you know nothing about Ali himself. I thought Will Smith did an awesome job playing Ali, his height and build was off but he depicted Ali to the smallest details. The movie itself was very poor though cause it didn't cover more important parts of Ali's life. The first hour is amazing though, then it winds down. Some of the fight dates and events of his life are dramatized especially the Foreman fight and his divorce. But overall from the boxing threads I done, I can see that not too many boxing fans are here. So I reccomend the movie but not as a factual basis for the man himself.
Then again how do you package a man like ali? There is another ali movie out there called 'the Greatest' in which Ali plays himself in the film and even he couldn't portray himself, and he was nowhere near the shap he is in now so it wasn't that. But a man who meant so much not only in a sport but in the world can never be recaptured.
