I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.
View MoreThe movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
View MoreIt really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
View MoreQuite the shambolic retelling of the tragedy/fortunate life that is Iversons. I've never been a big sports guy outside of THPS. However I've been on a big basketball documentary kick lately, and have to say this is one of favorites. Not your typical sports doc, which I think explains the 7.0 average rating. I was shocked to see that after watching it and checking the rating I was thinking it would be 8.0 + easy, and was sadly mistaken.The new Jim Crowe would be a sensible pairing because of their proquinity in liberal social-political informative similarities. In summary, Iverson is much more of a introspective humanitarian piece, rather than a biopic basketball doc. Like minded people will have an appreciation for its positive informative undertones and overtones of exposing such common injustices.
View MoreYou were probably deceived by the media's portrayal of a brash, conceited, ball-hog. In reality, Allen Iverson was a saint. A sadly misunderstood saint. With his nightly miracles on the hardwood captured on tape for all eternity, there can be no doubt. Pope Francis, are you listening?
View MoreThis was a great inspirational, motivational movie. Before this movie, I had no idea who Iverson was . After this movie, he was my favorite player. Even though Iversons presence in the world wasn't as impacting as people like Muhammad ali or Martin Luther Kings presence was, this film made it seem like it was.This film shows you many things you probably didn't know about the man who could have and was one of the greatest athletes , not just for what he did on the court , but also off the court. Despite this film being a documentary, it was made in a story-like fashion. It was also made in chronological order , which adds to it being an even better story/documentary.Since this movie is expressing Iversons passion for the sport , it can be touching for basketball lovers. I felt slightly emotional towards the end of the movie. I strongly recommend this film for basketball fans , sport fanatics or anyone interested in important figures in the history of sport. Its suitable and interesting for any audience , that's what makes such a great film.
View MoreA.I was the undisputed king of the 6 feet and under players ever to grace an NBA floor. He also is a top 25 regardless of height. I may be a homer because of the fact that I am born and raised in Philly, however the stats and the heart don't lie. This story shows that even though the odds are stacked as high as the great wall with enough drive and talent you can be a star. A.I is an icon in Philly and whether you hate em or love em you have to respect him!!!! A.I can still be seen every week in Philly and is one of the most approachable athletes in the city. The movie shows how a young man from the ghetto made his mark with more than just athletics; it shows the lives he touched and paints a picture that the media failed to portray during his career. Very well done and a great watch for any fan
