Wonderful character development!

Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

This film takes you back to the halcyon days of boxing, when boxers had to prove themselves. Might be 2 belts, but each holder wanted undisputed title.So you had epic confrontations between Ali / Frazier / Foreman. These bouts were watched throughout the world even if in the early hours. Tyson was the last to ignite that sort of interest. Now they can fight for 4 or 5 belts and avoid each other, that's why the non boxing fans have lost interest. But watch this anyway because of George, you watch a man as well as a boxer grow up and mature. Why he's not proclaimed as a role model for black youth I don't know, but I could probably guess.
