I find it reprehensible that the prejudice against Uwe Boll disallows some so-called critics from giving his films a fair review.
This film was very nicely done, and tells an enthralling story about boxing great Max Schmeling, who was a great gentleman and human being.
Schmeling himself endorsed the film, and I found it very informative and enjoyable to watch.
Henry Maske is especially memorable in the title role. He is very sympathetic, funny, and believable. His supporting cast members are also very good.
I'm sure the film could have been better by including more details such as Schmeling's bout with Max Baer, his later friendship and support of Joe Louis, and his rise to wealth after boxing, but this film purposely is about the contrast between the real Max Schmeling and the Nazi perception of him as their Aryan warrior.
In that intent it succeeds well.
