Great acting and how that it may not win awards or that over in the critics viewpoint on it. But that George Foreman had such a very hard life growing up and that he at first didn't want anything to do with God. Would you believe that?!

Due to not having a father and growing up in beyond poverty and his mother wanting him to turn his life around. All he ever did good in his words is that over in boxing. He fought to stay alive but it was in the Jobs Corps and Forest Whitaker's character saved him from a life of crime that he was doing to begin with.

After a personal crisis, he turns his life around and quits boxing and marries his second wife that he is still married to. And becomes a preacher. That is an answer to his mother's prayers. But after financial hardships, he reluctantly returns with the reluctant agreement with his wife.

He also sells grills and also in the setting his family up for life. Just really a great movie. No cursing nor that much violence except for the boxing matches. Go see it.

I sure learned a lot from this biographical film, and Foreman's story is like one of those fictional underdog Hollywood films, but it's true. It doesn't get much better than that. All casting and performances where excellent, especially Sullivan Jones who emulated Muhammad Ali perfectly. Even though the pacing felt a little slow at times, the 129 min runtime still flew by with the many vast sub-plots that contributed to Foreman's life story. The screenplay had great fluidity and cohesiveness to it, and was very easy to follow, albeit a little reserved. My only complaint was that I felt the action/fight sequences were filmed underwhelmingly, and could've used more dramatics and better choreography. Plus I felt they were a little too short and rushed, and the focus was more on the story than the action. I'm ok with that, because I wasn't expecting a Rocky or Creed film, but the biographical story of a legendary human being, and that's exactly what I got.

Finally a biographical pic on one of the most inspirational boxers of the century! I'd be lying if I wasn't hyped as hell to watch Big George, and for the most part it was exactly what I wanted!

Unfortunately, the third act was when things started to get a bit iffy, following Foremans decade long hiatus from boxing. I don't expect the film to broadcast EVERY single one of Foremans fights, but they really rushed his comeback. The training was all fine, but the Holyfield and Moorer fights were really downplayed, to the point that they used stock footage for Holyfield v Foreman. And then suddenly we are dropped into the Moorer fight with perhaps little to no buildup whatsoever. And then the film just kind of ends all of a sudden. The pacing took an absolute nosedive.

On a side note, the Jamaican accent that Foreman's wife uses was shockingly bad and killed any seriousness in a scene with her in it.

Beyond those issues, and perhaps a bit of an intrusive soundtrack at times, this is as good of a George Foreman biopic as you could ask for.
