Brawler for everyone

Excellent. Never a dull moment. All star cast, Great script and different levels of story telling. We now know why Chuck Wepner is the Real Rocky

Bad movie

This is truly a bad movie. The acting is terrible, the script is terrible, the fights are terrible. I watched maybe 30 minutes of the movie before I gave up. I can't find any good comment to say about that movie.

Worth the watch

Acting was strong. Story was strong. I was engaged until the final act. The writers didn't close. Flat and disappointing ending.

This must be a joke

The acting and the script in this film are so incredibly bad that I have to believe it's bad on purpose. Especially Muhammed Ali, his character portrayal is nothing short of a hysterical comic.

Ali as race baiter

Asking his opponent to call him the N word. I'm a pugilist fan, but this film really shows the underside of this dark sport.
