Whether or not you're a fan of boxing, chances are you've heard of the legendary Muhammad Ali. After years on top, most sports fans and critics felt Ali was past his prime.

Dubbed "Rumble in the Jungle," the world's eyes were on Africa for what was to be the bout of the decade.

This is a great film abut the lead up to Ali’s fight against George Foreman one of the few he was not expected to win. Ali said he was going to dance around Foreman and everyone laughed. In the fight, though,he used tactics try and beat Foreman.
There’s a lot to say about the fight although I do not want to spoil it for the reader. It is a documentary where everyone was them selves. It also explains about the dictator in Zaire. It is a great film well worth watching!

I really didnt like this film. It was a documentary about Ali training for the big fight george foreman the best of the best. sound pretty cool doesnt it well I thought it was the most boring film ever. With old men popping up every few minutes to speak about Ali. I thought the only the good part of the film was when Ali fought Foreman and won.
