( Showing 1-10 of 10 Tomatometer Reviews, sorted z-a )   "What Lee does so marvelously compelling is present Brown as a catalyst for the struggle of black manhood in restrictive and chaotic America...sketchy but nevertheless gripping portrait of Jim Brown, a celebrated wonder in the spotlight" -- Frank Ochieng, THEWORLDJOURNAL.COM   "[Lee] treats his audience the same way that Jim Brown treats his women -- as dumb, credulous, unassuming, subordinate subjects. And Lee seems just as expectant of an adoring, wide-smiling reception." -- Jon Lap, APOLLO GUIDE   Click to read the article. -- Marshall Fine, JOURNAL NEWS --  Click to read the article. -- FILM JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL Soundtrack Books All Related Items   "Though overall an overwhelmingly positive portrayal, the film doesn't ignore the more problematic aspects of Brown's life." -- Maitland McDonagh, TV GUIDE'S MOVIE GUIDE   "A well-rounded tribute to a man whose achievements -- and complexities -- reached far beyond the end zone." -- Justin Hartung, CITYSEARCH --  Click to read the article. -- Mike D'Angelo, MAN WHO VIEWED TOO MUCH Cream of the Crop FRESH 60%   "Overly long and worshipful bio-doc." -- Megan Turner, NEW YORK POST   "Only an epic documentary could get it all down, and Spike Lee's Jim Brown: All American at long last gives its subject a movie worthy of his talents." -- Gene Seymour, NEWSDAY   "As the movie traces Mr. Brown's athletic exploits, it is impossible not to be awed by the power and grace of one of the greatest natural sportsmen of modern times." -- Stephen Holden, NEW YORK TIMES   "Lee's achievement extends to his supple understanding of the role that Brown played in American culture as an athlete, a movie star, and an image of black indomitability." -- Owen Gleiberman, ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY   "Since Lee is a sentimentalist, the film is more worshipful than your random E! True Hollywood Story." -- Michael Atkinson, VILLAGE VOICE --  Click to read the article. -- HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
