You won't find a better example of a 'Marmite' movie – one that is loved by some and hated by others – than the 2023-released biopic on boxer George Foreman, which returned to the Netflix catalogue last week. On Rotten Tomatoes, Big George Foreman has a Popcornmeter (audience) rating of 96 per cent yet a Tomatometer (critics) score of just 46 per cent.
Whether or not you fall for the movie's comeback tale charms and boxing history, this is a classic sports story to tell. The critics didn't rate its unoriginal storytelling format way, but if you care more for the man and the sport than filmmaking frills and flair, you may well fall into that high rating group.
