re: TulaneLSU's review of Air and TulaneLSU's Top 10 Air Jordans of all-time

Air is a period piece chock full of 80s nostalgia, perhaps as much as any movie. It feels in many ways like another period biopic of the last decade, The Social Network. Air, however, lacks the criticism of the characters who used humanity’s vulnerability to profit. In that sense, I am surprised at how fan-like Affleck, who purports to be a social critic, approached Nike. Perhaps that was the only way he could get the goods to make the movie. In the end, the biopic about a shoe and a multinational company is entrancing. Its nearly three hour length flies like Jordan dunking on Ewing in the ‘91 playoffs. For the 35 and up crowd, it is worth the stroll down memory lane in a theater.
