Spike Lee said Mann as a white filmmaker wouldn't be able to give Ali's story justice, but I think he was proved wrong there. I've seen parts of Malcolm X, which looks great, though I have to say I felt Mann even went further to make the Malcolm X assassination more poignant in Ali then in the Lee film.
A lot of other people oddly felt that they didn't focus enough on his personality.
