This film was made by Nike, for Nike and to increase Nike's sales. It seems rather documentary with good actors, than biopic or drama. The main thing we need to worry about (both scripted and now, haha) is whether the commercial company will make billions of dollars or not. It's too weak point of culmination for the average viewer to care about. Also, it is really weird not to show Michael Jordan's face, almost blur it, while he is in shot himself.
Nevertheless, Ben Affleck made good work as director. "Air" looks great, I like the cinematography, nothing special, but it was very enjoyable to watch. It is also worth praising the way the film sounds. If you're into 80s music, your ears will love it. Matt Damon plays his typical "good passionate guy" role and does it 10/10. Other actors did as well.
In summary, it is movie for once, or you are fan of basketball or Nike history.

Makes You Care About Shoes for 2 Hours
Return to form for Mr. Ben Affleck. He managed to get me out to the theater to see a movie about Nike. Not necessarily a shoe guy, however this movie paints the picture as to why people invest in these shoes. The directing was fantastic. Stellar cast. Matt Damon bringing his A Game as always. Chris Tucker just added his magic to this movie. Jason Bateman just being a supporting character was interesting, but his story really added to the stakes of the movie. The pacing was a little off here, and there but the story, and cast really allows this movie to breathe in away you don't worry about the pace like that. Definitely give this flick a chance if you like start up films.
Absolutely NOT a sports fan, but really liked this movie
I actually rated it at 7.5 stars. Ben Affleck's acting wasn't as good as we know it could have been. The strain of being on both sides of the camera showed - but damn he was great as a director!! Also felt that Chris Tucker's usual comedy set him apart for such a strong part.
So, I am absolutely NOT a sports fan and I don't wear Air Jordan shoes. HOWEVER, it was fun to see that Peter Moore, the original creator of the shoe, did, indeed, make them a work of art from the very beginning - once he was given free reign. That made me the happiest!! I DO love looking at Air Jordan's and they are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
This movie about sports and sport clothes was brilliantly done due to the fact that everyone in it felt free to be very natural.
Some reviewers don't like that we never see Michael Jordan's face. I did like it. He is FAR too well-known to be played by an actor. AND this movie really wan't about him, per se. It was very much about his mother and what she did not only for him, but for everyone in sports.
This is a movie for everyone. ENJOY!!
