Big George Foreman: The Miraculous Story of the Once and Future Heavyweight Champion of the World is based on the remarkable true story of one of the greatest comebacks of all time and the transformational power of second chances. Fueled by an impoverished childhood, Foreman channeled his anger into becoming an Olympic Gold medalist and World Heavyweight Champion, followed by a near-death experience that took him from the boxing ring to the pulpit. But when he sees his community struggling spiritually and financially, Foreman returns to the ring and makes history by reclaiming his title, becoming the oldest and most improbable World Heavyweight Boxing Champion ever.

the amazing true story about how jesus appeared to a boxer and told him to flood the world with crappy grills
ndc32002Apr 27, 2023I’m very aware that my rating is going to be higher than a lot of people. I don’t really think this will do well but I’m probably quite biased. I love George Foreman's story. His testimony is truly brilliant. Giving up everything he’s worked for to serve God is very…
Josiah CooperApr 28, 2023I originally planned to title this write-up: “Heart of a Lion” But I’ve suddenly decided to call it: “Cammmalot's Letterbox’d: The Incredible Story of a Once and Future Movie Watcher and His Thoughts on the New George Foreman Movie Which is Called: Big George…

So to the film’s credit, you can see there’s actually an attempt to make something great here, and there’s a filmmaker behind the camera, bringing the movie a sense of style with some form of crash zoom and snappy editing here and there, hoping to make the movie much more…
Rafael "Mister Movie" JovineMay 9, 2023After such whimsical and reimagined biopics we've had recently (CORSAGE, ELVIS, etc) I still appreciate the straightforward biographical feature treatments which are mostly bringing the Wikipedia pages to life and sticking to the historical beats... I like how this film…
Lynn BettsApr 27, 2023The movie felt about as long as the title. Big George Foreman takes on a tall task as both sports movies and religious movies each suffer from being the hardest genres to make compelling and good movies out of. Big George Foreman is told in two parts, the first hour…

I think athletes that get a Christian-slanted movie based on their life should be considered their own status tier. I hope if they ever make a movie about my life, there isn’t a scene where I’m covering my face in natural-peanut-butter-lookin human feces. Takes the prize…
Dave TaylorApr 27, 2023The on-screen title is simply BIG GEORGE FOREMAN and not the hilariously long one it’s being marketed with, which makes this a reverse-65 situation. This movie cannot WAIT to finish rushing through the whole boxing story so it can get to the religious propaganda portion.…
Brett ArnoldApr 29, 2023I can’t really say I knew a lot about George Foreman going in. A biopic about a boxer is obviously something we’ve seen before and I can’t really say I was excited for this one. It didn’t really stand out as interesting or unique but still figured there might’ve been an…

- Scleratrice likedBig George Foreman
Honestly, I liked it a lot, I didn't expect it. I became very attached to the character of George, played very realistically. I love how it shows that Jesus can transform lives. And I highly recommend it to everyone! Especially to people who are passionate about boxing.
Ethan8 is "meh" onBig George ForemanNothing to memorable. Fight scenes were meh, almost no training scenes. It was cool to learn more on the guy but overall was pretty I hate say boring. Also the last 40 min could have been shortened by at least 20 min. Never have I started skipping mid movie but no need for 40 min

- Anita Max Wynn likedBig George Foreman
7.5/10 Honestly thought it was a good movie as a big boxing fan. I can see how it’ll be boring for people who aren’t too interested in boxing, but either way it was nice seeing his story being told and even learning a lot more about this man. Good Film overall Very long tho 😂
Bryan Beckel is "meh" onBig George ForemanMade for tv movie quality, with a lot of corny moments. Fight scenes were terrible, and the only thing adding any quality is the presence of Whitaker. Constant time warps and over dramatic, “found Jesus” scenes make the move just plain boring
Gabe likedBig George ForemanVery inspiring story to see on the big screen. I felt very engaged the whole time for the most part as well. Khris Davis did a great job portraying George Foreman through the many stages of his life. This was a like 8.4/10 for me.
- Richard Nardo is "meh" onBig George Foreman
Another “between meh and like” movie for me. Story felt underdeveloped and the fight scenes could have been better. I read someone’s review that called it “made for TV movie quality” and I think that sums it up pretty perfectly.
Jeramy likedBig George Foreman8/10 It feels very washed down. George Forman had a great story and a great career. And this biopic is a very alright telling of that story and career. With that being said, I still like it 😂
Jennifer vera is "meh" onBig George ForemanBig George Foreman is very predictable and doesn’t take many risks. While the performances are solid, the story feels formulaic and forgettable. Definitely not one of my favorite biopics.

Amazing movie that narrates the life-highs & lows of George Foreman. What a legacy his life gives@
PJPamela JankowiakI would have never chosen to see this movie, my husband expressed interest, so I got tickets. So glad I saw it, shows how amazing things can happen when priorities are in right order. Highly recommend!.
EMElsa MonroeUnbelievable but credible; the Mother should get an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor
- TRTijuana Rollins
I enjoyed the movie but I gave it 4 stars because it felt like parts were missing like they jumped from one thing to the next quickly. Overall good movie though!

It’s a movie with its heart in the right place and its sense of drama nowhere in sight.

The movie thumps through successive events of Foreman’s amazing life in efficient, unsubtle, on-the-nose style, skating over his many marriages a little.
