User Reviews
I hate boxing. Like "it's worse than golf" hate. But Ali's personality and the out-of-this-world drama make this an incredible story.
Masterfully edited, but the real strength of this doc is just letting the camera roll on some of the most charismatic characters in history.
My favorite sports documentary of all time. Every minute is full of history, culture, and color.
Exquisite documentary with a perfect title. The glory days of heavyweight boxing where the spectacle and characters were enormous.
“Only last week, I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalized a brick; I’m so mean I make medicine sick” the most badass quote
A compelling documentary about the famous "Rumble in the Jungle" boxing match.
One of the best documentaries out there. It chronicles the road to arguably the biggest boxing match of all time and humanizes the GOAT.
A great story is in this somewhere, but sadly this lands somewhere around average. Still worth a watch
Depressing to think Ali was the man back in the day. And this day we have Jake Paul smh
Amazing boxing documentary about one Ali’s greatest fights ‘the rumble int he jungle’. Fascinating, Must see
