Chicago Tribune Michael Wilmington
For any of you who've ever daydreamed of playing hoops with Jordan, Michael Jordan to the Max is almost certainly the closest you'll ever get.
Read Full Review >New York Post Hannah Brown
Just as spectacular as seeing the view from Everest or other natural wonders caught by the IMAX technology.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas
Made with such verve and clarity that you don't have to be a basketball fan to enjoy it.
Charlotte Observer Lawrence Toppman
It's hardly a balanced biography: There's no mention of Jordan's gambling problems or connections with Nike, whose factories overseas were criticized for underpaying workers and treating them badly.
Read Full Review >Miami Herald Charles Savage
What makes this documentary worth seeing is the sensational courtside footage taken with IMAX cameras, which bring a whole new way of seeing the game to fans who don't get to sit in Jack Nicholson's section.
Time Richard Corliss
An adoring tone and the familiar slo-mo, wide-angle baskebatics.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Denene Millner
We get zilch on what kind of human being he is.
Read Full Review >Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
Essentially just a promotional film for Jordan as a product. It plays like a commercial for itself.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Dana Stevens
The format and the purposeful blandness of the script make Jordan seem remote, more icon than human being.
Read Full Review >Variety Robert Koehler
Arguably the finest athlete in living memory deserves better than Michael Jordan to the Max, an honorific but unmoving portrait of the Chicago Bulls' No. 23.
Read Full Review >Chicago Reader Lisa Alspector
Unlike Michael Jordan, this 45-minute large-format movie demonstrates mostly unrealized potential.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly David Davis
Ultimately, it's as vapid as (Michael Jordan's) perfume and as disposable as a pair of his Hanes.

He already proved his critics wrong and left them hiding in their mothers' skirts......let's just enjoy the moments of the greatest athlete of all time.....(if there's someone coming better...it's gonna be fun)...to the critics:you guys were all great in giving criticisms...why? because you don't know the meaning of appreciation and "passion"....congratulations for being such great losers...hehehehe.
