Movie Review - Big George Foreman: The Miraculous Story of the Once and Future Heavyweight Champion of the World
This feels a little more like something that should have been streaming than making it to theaters. It's not bad. The production quality is adequate. The acting was fine. It maybe could have been a tad shorter, but it didn't feel too overly long.
It's just an average movie. Not good, not bad. Just something to watch.
I'm not going to bore you with trying to come up with anything more to say. Oh, except that I liked Sullivan Jones as Muhammad Ali. I could have watched more of him. In fact, I wish they would have made this movie about their friendship. Maybe for another day.
