    Listening to Ben, I can tell he is a great person. There is not a bone of jealousy in him. He wears his heart in his sleeve. He expresses his admiration and appreciation of other actors as if he is not a super star himself. He is always showing appreciation for Matt's friendship. He makes his actors comfortable and he boosts their confidence with his kind, appreciative words. I am witnessing the real Ben and not the Media Ben that they want us to see. Ben is a good person. I love him.

    Have you all noticed by now that Ben makes movies for the sheer love of telling great stories - stories that need to be told? Making money doesn't seem to be the crux of it. But because the stories are so good, material well written, shot superbly, casted like a charm, with a crew I'm sure is inspired and your best friend of 40 odd years as your number one collaborator - it makes the money. The rare lightning in a bottle (on set) happens and we're all smitten!!! I wanna see it now! I wanna see it right, right now!!!

    In the filmmaking industry, there are 3 categories of movies that exist :
    The ones that are made for making money, the ones where the director and his team are on a mission, and the ones where you can tell everybody has fun on set.
    And occasionally, comes a movie like Air, that is all 3 combined.
    I just watched it, and boy is this movie is gonna make BANK !
    (Oh, and pumping some more millions of sales this year for Air Jordans !)

They couldn't haven't gotten a better cast to recreate how Michael Jordan's story unfolded with Nike. Dynamic actors at this table. They all deserve their flowers. They are all great in their craft. Viola is truly one of my favorite actors and she killed it as Michael's mother. Excellent job Ben on everyone you chose to be in the movie!

The Academy did the most horrible thing in the past. They overlooked her,intentionally, i must say. More like snubbed her😢

This movie well surpassed my expectations and I hope it wins a lot of awards and it’s deserved recognition, well done!

    Boring movie. Take your pillow and blanket with you if you insist on wasting two hours of your life with watching this movie.
