Was Will Smith credible as Muhammad Ali?

Haven’t watched it yet, but not sure I can buy him as Ali. He just comes across as Will Smith in all his roles.

There was absolute murder in the ring. Murder.

Gigantically undeserved Oscar nomination for that role. Film was a commercial flop.

He's a terrible dramatic actor. He just flares his nostrils and makes a constipated look

I believe he channeled Muhammad Ali's arrogance quite effectively indeed.

Will Smith’s idea of dramatic acting is wearing a tight Afro wig.

It wasn’t a good movie. It was late 90’s Oscar bait which was all crap.

I enjoyed a few scenes, but overall, the film was boring and too long. The film and Smith don't make viewers understand why he's a sports legend. I thought this guy talks too much in a cringey rhythm, shuns a great friend (Malcolm X), cheats on his wives, is a religious hypocrite, and surrounds himself with leeches.

Well that's not true Teacake, r8, because I know I am R1 and R5. I don't know who the others are.

Ali had so much charisma.

Bad ears. Not convincing as anyone except Dumbo.

The Big George Foreman movie was enjoyable and Sullivan Jones who played Muhammed Ali was sexy and convincing and actually made me see how charismatic Ali actually was.

Well you can see Ali himself in many tv appearances and few movies.

He was great in Halston on Netflix, R13.
