| Muhammad Ali (formerly Cassius Clay), like many others, was an
interesting persona because he pretty much did what he wanted and
stuck to his principles, even if it was self-destructive. This is a
great quality in a person in a world where the vast...more |

| Ali Review |
| by Christopher Null |
| It saddens me to think that when most kids today see the name "Ali,"
they probably think of whipped-cream-bikini babe Ali Larter, not
Muhammed Ali, "The Greatest," as he was wont to call himself -- as in
the greatest fighter of all time. more |

| ALI stars a badly miscast Will Smith (WILD WILD WEST) as boxing legend Muhammed
Ali. A wonderful comedic actor, Smith isn't the least bit convincing as Ali.

the year, but, sadly, like his Heat and The Insider, this film is just way
