'Big George Foreman' Biopic Spells Disappointment, Except to the Champ Himself

The new George Foreman biopic covers the boxer's life but fails to do justice to its subject or enthrall its audience.
The film follows the standard rise-and-fall-and-rise-again arc of biopics but does so without authenticity or artistry.
While exploring Foreman's anger issues and later religious awakening, the movie bogs down in clichés and dull fight scenes.
The overstuffed script and unimaginative direction leave even the charismatic cast struggling in this two-hour snoozer.
The sole satisfaction seems to come from Foreman himself, one of the film's executive producers.
