Description

Welcome to the no-holds-barred epic portrayal of the life of heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. Tyson: The Movie will take you on an incredible journey into the legendary boxer’s life, from his days as a teenage drug dealer and thief in New York to his meteoric rise to fame as the champion of the world and through to his shocking, outrageous decline. For the first time in history, and in his own words, this unparalleled extremist takes you deep into his gritty world of crime, drug addiction and violence. Labelled a "monster" by the media, you’ll witness Tyson fighting for his reputation and his very life while imprisoned for rape, tearing the ear off Evander Holyfield with his bare teeth and tasting painful defeat at the hands of Britain’s Lennox Lewis... The top of the world or the bottom of the ocean... there is no in-between.

I can watch this over and over again, it's a lot better that the other documentaries made about him by far, personally I would say go for it, it's worth every penny

From the outside we all form opinions, but this shows the other side to a guy who was awesome in his prime and horrible on the slide down. It explains how he was bullied, learnt a skill, used it then got drawn into the modern celebrity world that brings down most sporting stars.
His did a lot of stuff that was wrong, but when you earn the kind of money that he did people thought it was ok, until he crossed too many lines.
It also explains that once he lost the "spark" it was only paychecks that got him in the ring.
Truly one of the awesome fighters of my time, and anyone who wants to see more than Iron Mike's knock outs its a must see..if you want just the knock outs go to you tube.

This film offers the viewer a glimpse of Tyson's psyche, his motivations and deepest afflictions. For anybody who wants a rare insight into the mind of a world-class fighter this is the film to watch!
I think there is a good balance of interviews and fight sequences; this film is not just a highlight reel of Tyson's KO's and that is what makes it an unseen treat for the viewer. It is also fascinating to hear of his experiences with Cus, and how the trainer moulded the young, hostile Tyson into a professional knockout machine.
For boxing fans, or anybody who finds the man interesting (which is most of the public, regardless of whether they love or hate him) this is a riveting watch.

Average.....

didn't really know what to expect, maybe all his early fights showing his awesome punching power, but mainly about himself and his circus around him but not bad but not great either

Great

Highly recommended, told by the man himself and leaves you with the confirmation that the old man made him the true champ

Not that good.....

Yeah, o.k. So it's 'Iron Mike'! A bit arty n not enough boxing action for my liking. He made mistakes but haven't we all!!! Hope it earns him a few bob though.

Outstanding

well produced. I really like Mike Tyson after this, it shows he is thoughtfull and intelligent, but also a machine-in the ring. He is more honest than most. A great film.

Great show

Really enjoyed this, he would have beaten Lennox Lewis with one hand in his prime. Great film and sad that he surrounded himself with so many gold diggers

Not bad actually

It's pretty good. One thing I don't get is how can he call himself a Muslim and he commuted rape. Maybe I'm wrong and that he raped b 4 he became a Muslim I dunno. However only god can judge us all I guess. Peace to all

Essential
