Empire Magazine Rated: 2/5 Dec 30, 2006 Full Review Geoff Pevere Toronto Star Has the advantage of immediacy. Rated: 3/5 Aug 23, 2003 Full Review Vincent Canby New York Times The material in Muhammad Ali has been enriched by time, but it leaves one yearning for a film that covers the entire Ali career in somewhat greater detail and depth than was ever, apparently, Mr. Klein's concern. Rated: 3/5 Apr 12, 2003 Full Review John A. Nesbit Old School Reviews Hardly definitive ... contains some invaluable puzzle pieces to one of the most enigmatic and complex sports figures of all time Rated: C May 22, 2010 Full Review Donald J. Levit ReelTalk Movie Reviews The three fights covered in this documentary are not pictured at all beyond a very few grainy stills. Dec 11, 2008 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Quirky enough to blow smoke around most other boxing documentaries. Rated: B Mar 25, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews
