Watched it Thursday night and thought it was REALLY good!

Honestly, one of the better movies I’ve probably seen in the past three or four years.

The next morning it dawned on me why Ben Affleck worked so well in the role he played. He’s a douchebag playing a douchebag!

I think the decision to not focus on Michael Jordan the person actually was a good one and this is what I saw on IMDD:

quote:

Michael Jordan is portrayed by Damian Young, but his face is never clearly shown; either obscured or facing away from camera, and he only has a few lines of dialogue. The real Jordan can be seen throughout in archival footage. Director Ben Affleck stated he decided to portray Jordan this way because, "Michael Jordan is so famous that I truly felt if we ever saw an actor playing him, it would be hard to get the audience to suspend their disbelief, because, in my opinion, there's no convincing anybody that someone who isn't Michael Jordan is Michael Jordan."

Michael did not want to be in it, at all. Ben and Matt met with MJ in person and they told him if he didn’t want them to make the movie they’d kill it, and not move forward. MJ OK’d it and demanded that Viola Davis play his mother.
