Had a chance to be a joyous celebration of this special athlete, but for much of the running time the atmosphere was funereal…

Review of Ali (2001)

By Jack Mathews (1,044) for New York Daily News (5,623) on 01 Jul 2002

Review of Ali (2001)

What we get is what would happen if Monet tried to pass a paint-by-numbers work off as a stroke of his brush…

Review of Ali (2001)

By Ian Waldron-Mantgani (282) for UK Critic (265) on 03 Mar 2002

Mann directs the movie with a calm and original approach; Smith gives a surprisingly convincing performance…

Review of Ali (2001)

By Mark Dujsik (2,093) for Mark Reviews Movies (2,037) on 26 Feb 2002

There's great material here, but the end result plays like a highlight reel--an intriguing introduction to a man's life for people not fully…

Review of Ali (2001)

By Shay Casey (101) for Film Written Magazine (27) on 02 Feb 2002

The problem is that none of these very well-directed scenes manage to fit together into any kind of collective whole…

Review of Ali (2001)

By Rex Reed (1,506) for Observer (1,042) on 09 Jan 2002

It is well-intentioned, sketchy, sprawling and unremarkable. At two hours and 38 minutes, it is also long-winded and exhausting…

Review of Ali (2001)

Will Smith flies like a butterfly, but what director Michael Mann does to the greatest fighter of all time just stings…

Review of Ali (2001)

By Rob Vaux (1,125) for Flipside Movie Emporium (617) on 06 Jan 2002

Review of Ali (2001)

By Adam Nayman (350) for eye WEEKLY (415) on 06 Jan 2002

Review of Ali (2001)

By Richard Roeper (2,737) for Ebert & Roeper (629) on 03 Jan 2002
