\nJust watched “Ali<\/a>” on DVD. This is an excellent movie about boxing star Muhammad Ali (played by Will Smith<\/a>). I’ve really enjoyed the film. It does show the difficult life of Muhammad Ali, his rise, fall, and another rise. Camera work is excellent as is the soundtrack. Boxing is shown from an exciting perspective. The movie is in the spirit of “Rocky<\/a>” and sequels, but it also brings the motion picture progress of the last 20 years into it.<\/p>\n

Those looking forward for a lot of action should probably skip this movie. It’s a drama and a story of the life of a famous man. Lots of fighting, not a lot of boxing..<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
