Muhammad Ali - The Greatest

Genres Documentary
Run time 75 mins Certificate PG

2nd March 2005

I watched it all - and it's not terrible. It's just not that great either. It gives a complete list of his fights and shows a couple of minutes of each including the key moments. There's also some discussion of what the boxing community and journalists thought of him and his abilities at each stage in his career. So probably quite good for the Ali-anorak. But even for you guys not great because amount they show of each fight shown doesn't always satisfy. What I would have liked is a bit more bio-graphical detail - they guy is fascinating but we weren't shown any of that. Nothing about his personal life. Suddenly, from nowhere we were told he was onto his third marriage without ever having known he'd married even once before. Not enough banter from him, or archive footage of his interviews either. Bit disappointing really.
