A very safe effort from Ben Affleck. It has solid performances and a decent story, but the film feels unremarkable and predictable. The filmmaking is also not that great. This could look so much better if Affleck just pulled back the camera occasionally, or showed more restraint with the overabundance of nostalgic needle drops. Still, the corporate maneuvering is written in a way that’s interesting enough (if not particularly insightful, this is more interested in being an entertaining crowdpleaser), and it moves along at a good pace. The characters are also pretty well drawn, but overall nothing left much of an impression on me. 5.5/10

As a complete outsider to basketball other than knowing a few key names (Charles Barkley, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James) this was an interesting peak into the legacy of the Air Jordan shoe and Nike themselves. Nothing is aggressive or punchy, it's just a nice, rolling story of one of the most iconic pieces of pop culture and the star behind the brand. It's not going to knock your court shoes off, but it's an enjoyable drama that rolls comfortably when it gets going and is smattered with enough 80's nostalgia to keep everything catchy and light. Good stuff, but not the slam dunk you'd think given the reviews.

A much smaller and slower movie than expected, considering the calibre of names involved in the project. This might be Amazon's big hope at the Oscar but their only chance here is Viola Davis for Best Supporting Actress.

Well all knew where this movie was going. We all know the story. The movie was okay at portraying the story of how Nike got MJ and the Air Jordan brand became. The movie could’ve been better. Acting was not bad from some rather A lister actors. If it wasn’t for the killer 80’s soundtrack, I would have rated it just a little worse. It was nice to read the stories at the end.

A staggering tale of an unhinged perseverance which is backed by a captivating screenplay.

Air is a story so frivolous and flat , that the courage of Ben Affleck should be lauded with our hats down. A simple plot which would fit within 3 lines of a page is magically presented to us as a fascinatin More

There really wasn't much to this film. The fact is, I found the ending to be particularly egregious. An on-screen graphic stated that Phil Knight has donated $2 billion to charity. What it didn't say was that he weaseled Nike away from its founding father, Bill Bowerman, supported child molesters More

Slightly forced 1980s aesthetic/nostalgia trip aside, 'Air' is quality!

The 80s was before my time, so I guess I'm not best placed to talk about it, but the constant shots of 80s things with 80s music with extremely 80s enviroments did get a tiny bit tiresome to me. I recall people saying similar More
