Reviews for IMAX - Michael Jordan to the Max
What's the difference between documentary and hagiography? Directors James Stern and Don Kempf don't seem to have given the matter much thought.

An honorific but unmoving portrait of the Chicago Bulls’ No. 23.

Top CriticUnlike Michael Jordan, this large-format movie demonstrates mostly unrealized potential.

Jordan was born to be an admired all-star. But as the film so eloquently shows, he worked hard to be the classy superstar that he turned out to be.

Felt like one big highlight reel

IMAX is a format where the sheer scale overpowers its flaws.

The filmmakers give us what we always want when it comes to MJ: images of a man caught in the act of being superhuman.

This triumphant story of an extremely positive role model is a rewarding treat.

Michael Jordan, sports icon, gets another buffing. Michael Jordan, person, remains private and just a little bit richer.

Michael to the Max is, aside from the IMAX process, the kind of routine documentary a local TV station might air on a Sunday afternoon when a ballgame is rained out.

The film is more like an infomercial in which the pitchman is also the product.

Top CriticIn this authorized look at a great athlete, we are confronted by a man who has no weaknesses and no imperfections.
02/07/01
Essentially just a promotional film for Jordan as a product. It plays like a commercial for itself.

It's brilliance is to put you in the moment, some of the greatest moments in modern sports history.
