Interesting opinion - and as valid as the next man's, but I'd hardly call Will Smith "brilliant" in anything.
Sure, he's a funny guy and seems to be a genuinely decent person, but great muscle tone doth not a great actor make.
His forte is wisecracking "cool dude" and he's looked completely wooden in any straight parts I've seen him play, resorting to his "constipated" serious facial expression to get by.
As a former amateur boxer, I had the pleasure of meeting Muhammed Ali - at an ABA Award Ceremony - and whilst most of our heroes turn out to be totally different to what we expect (shy, rude, smaller, taller, etc), the aura from Ali was electric as soon as he walked in the room.
Will Smith played Ali as dull, uncharismatic and uninteresting - nuff said.
