    The film is inspirational and educational - and it is also entertaining, as movies must be before they can be anything else.
  2. Mr. Lee means for Malcolm X to be an epic, and it is in its concerns and its physical scope. In Denzel Washington it also has a fine actor who does for Malcolm X what Ben Kingsley did for “Gandhi.” [18 November 1992]

    The picture comes up short in several departments, notably in pacing and in giving a strong sense of why this man became such a legend.

    Denzel Washington 'became' Malcolm X. It is still eerie and brilliant today. The film gives rare insight into Malcolm's 'anger' and life in America in the 40's-60's. Expand
