Air

SUPERB! A must see. Heartwarming, inspiring and hilarious. Matt Damon, Chris Tucker and Viola Davis knock it out of the park.

Wonderfully directed and fun for the whole family.

It is very interesting to see the history and know how it really happened. but I confess that many may find the movie boring and that there's nothing special about it, even because even I thought that, really, it's not a big deal and the story isn't even that interesting, but history is history, and I love it when they adapt the story to film, it's very interesting to see how things were at the time, it's an informative film in my opinion, for you to see it and say "ah, so that's how it happened" but it's not a big deal, there's nothing too much, but it's worth watching and I loved it. and the acting is very good.

Been meaning to watch this for awhile. It does not disappoint. So glad I was able to witness the Jordan era. Excellent flick!

Yes finally a good movie which got me hooked all the way. Love how Matt Damon plays a sulky old dude. Good cast, loved the movie and the references. And it was smart not to completely show Micheal Jordan and keep him a mystery.

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-ish with 'Stranger Things' season 3, though I found the mix of it there to more befitting. I'm nit-picking, I know, but it just was super noticeable to me here.

Anyway, enough of that unimportant stuff. The film is great. The whole cast do terrific work, particularly Matt Damon, Viola Davis (the phone call scene between those two is excellent), Jason Bateman and Ben Affleck. I'd say the secondary portion of the almost 2hrs is the stronger, prior to that I was intrigued but not invested... by the end I was both. It's a predictable story, but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable.

The decision to practically not have a Michael Jordan character in a movie about Michael Jordan is an interesting one. It feels a tad awkward when he is in a scene and they intentionally 'hide' him. I get why, and it mostly works, but it does feel dorky at a point or two.

Overall, very good. To be honest, ignore my above nit-picks - it's most definitely worthy of a watch.

Wow wow wow what a fantastic film about the story behind Nike and how they pulled off the biggest shoe deal ever from the bottom of the totem pole. The casting was a bit overkill but still perfect, especially Matt Damon's character. The first few mins of the film was a bit odd but the rest of the plot development was on par and the way the whole lead up to the negotiation and final deal was a cinematic masterpiece as the audience was really pulled in on the edge of their seats. The casting of Jordan's mom was incredible as she and Matt Damon's conversation at the Jordan house was and incredible moment.

Micheal Jordan sign the contract!

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 fascinating and appealing peace of history which changed the strature of business in sports in America and revolutionized a global culture, Nike's collaboration with the greatest basketball player in the history of the game, "Michael Jordan". The 2 hours doesn't feel long when you have a dazzling screenplay & a marvelous ensemble cast with their pragmatic conversations. Ben Affleck really puts in a fine effort to yield such sensational performances for the star studded cast.

Brilliant is an understatement for the ensemble cast. I have never seen a better grounded performance of Matt Damon than this. He is sensational. Jason Bateman and Viola Davis add the much needed spark with their magnetic performances. Good to see Chris Tucker back and boy he just gets his sense of humor right each time. The banters between Matt and Chris Messina is the highlight for me. Ben Affleck is a master in terms of direction, the way he manages veterans into building such a collaboration is astounding.

Overall, If you believe in uplifting stories behind sports and redefining moments of history which changed the world we live in today then Air is a great addition to your watchlist.
