Leave your thoughts about Big George Foreman.
| The A.V. ClubTimothy CogshellBig George Foreman: The Miraculous Story of the Once and Future Heavyweight Champion of the World is an excellent movie about a beloved figure who indeed seems ageless and whose story includes the kind of comebacks usually reserved for fiction. |
| The GuardianPeter BradshawThe movie thumps through successive events of Foreman’s amazing life in efficient, unsubtle, on-the-nose style, skating over his many marriages a little. |
| The New YorkerRichard BrodyThe story of young George’s childhood and rise to fame has a tense and turbulent charm, but the story of the professional heavyweight’s dash to the championship and everything that follows (up through the nineteen-nineties) has a whiff of a ghostwritten corporate autobiography. |
| VarietyOwen GleibermanIt’s prosaic and conventional and a touch stolid, but it stays true to the facts and the spirit of the man (he’s both sinner and saint), and the saga they add up to is singular in the history of sports. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckBig George Foreman isn’t bad exactly, merely serviceable. You keep waiting for it to deliver a knockout blow that never comes. |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchKatie WalshOne can’t help but feel that the man himself — grill and all — is so much more fascinating than this rote representation. |
| EmpireJohn NugentAn all-too conventional look at an unconventional man, Big George Foreman is, alas, a swing and a miss. |
| The New York TimesGlenn KennyIt’s a movie with its heart in the right place and its sense of drama nowhere in sight. |
| Slant MagazineRoss McIndoeThe film stumbles sluggishly from one chapter in Foreman’s life to the next. |
| IndieWireChristian ZilkoIt’s almost impressive that Big George Foreman: The Miraculous Story of the Once and Future Heavyweight Champion of the World is so dull. |
