Manny Pacquiao overcomes personal hardships to become a champion boxer, politician and actor.

Peter Sobczynski

RogerEbert.com

A narrow and borderline fawning hagiography that will no doubt find great favor among his fan base, while inspiring shrugs of indifference from those less invested in his tale.

Rated: 2/4

Robert Abele

Los Angeles Times

It makes for a choppy, unsatisfying portrait when any topic outside the worshipful career momentum and expected dazzling fight footage - personal demons, his growth in a corrupt sport, the weight of being an icon - is addressed.

New York Times

Banal, stentorian narration by Liam Neeson ("Once victory is stolen from you, what are you left with?") mostly gives the sense that it's the viewer being carried around the ring.

Epoch Times

Pacquiao's the only boxer in history to win championships across eight weight classes. His story follows the classic Hero's Journey stages precisely, blow-by-blow, as it were.

Rated: 3.5/5

Boxing docu glorifies Pacquiao but skims the surface.

A potential knockout documentary pulls most of its punches.

Offers a decent insight into the boxers life and career if you don't know anything about this champ.

He fights not just for the money but for the pride of his nation. For the pinoy living on the street with nothing but who is proud to say that he is a Filipino and that a Filipino is the best boxer of his generation

I did not have great expectations for this movie and I found myself immersed in watching it. It does not just give you boxing but includes a very nice introspective on Manny the person. I really enjoyed it. A HIT in my books!

Drawn to watching this after his Mayweather fight. It doesn't deviate from the usual formula of sports bio-documentaries. What a lovely guy though. Such a polite sweet person with strong sense of morals. A perfect example of the Filipino race

Not as good as the Klitchko documentary but a fascinating insight into one of the all time greats.
