When We Were Kings
It’s 1974. Muhammad Ali is 32 and thought by many to be past his prime. George Foreman is ten years younger and the heavyweight champion of the world. Promoter Don King wants to make a name for himself and offers both fighters five million dollars apiece to fight one another, and when they accept, King has only to come up with the money. He finds a willing backer in Mobutu Sese Suko, the dictator of Zaire, and the “Rumble in the Jungle” is set, including a musical festival featuring some of America’s top black performers, like James Brown and B.B. King.
VexMovies Review:
When We Were Kings – was the biggest surprise of the year 1996 It is my favorite documentary movie because parts felt very similar to my life experience. I know it gets a lot of stick for being the mainstream popular movie, but honestly I can not think of anything wrong with the movie online.
It is a movie that truly knows what it is and wastes not even a second in conveying what that is. There is not a single thing wrong with that movie. It sets the 10/10 standard for every other movies in existence for me. This movie online seriously is incredible. My favorite movie of this director, and that’s saying something!
I needed some time after I watched to get back to mind. I decided not to load the When We Were Kings file here so everyone now can see it online for free.
