Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

richieandsam TYSON THE MOVIEOK, so this is more of a documentary than a movie, but it was still released in the cinemas and it is called Tyson the Movie, so I thought I would review it.This is a documentary about the legendary former heavyweight boxing champion, Iron Mike Tyson.Mike Tyson has has a very interesting life. He isn't really a nice person as we have seen during various moments in his public life. There are times when he comes across as a nice guy, but there are a lot of times where he is just scary. The man is a huge powerhouse which a crazy amount of strength. I would not like to get on the wrong side of this guy. But his boxing career is nothing to be sniffed at. He is and always will be a legend in his chosen occupation.This film interviews Mike about his life and career. He talks about all the highs and lows of what he has been through. Yes he has had a rough life. He was always in the spotlight in and out of the ring. The film was shot quite well, he covers everything that would want to hear him talk about, from his boxing life, his rape trial, the infamous bite to when he retired altogether. It is very interesting to hear his side of things, but with all stories, there are obviously 2 sides and this only tells his side of things.Mike was an unbelievable boxer that I loved to watch and still love to go back and watch again and again. He was mesmerizing with the power and skill he had... he knocked out some of the best boxers in the world within a couple of rounds. It is very rare to have a talent like that in any sport.His personal life is not really any of our business, but when he got convicted of rape I was shocked. There is no excuse for what he did, even though he still denies it to this day. But Mike has done his time and it is time everyone just let it lie and stop mentioning it to him or anyone else. I saw on live TV the other day someone mentioned it to him and he started swearing at the interviewer. I am so glad I was no the guy interviewing him then.I really enjoyed hearing his stories of his arguments with Don King and various other people when he was young. He tells a great story and as far as I can see doesn't hold back.The only thing I can say that I thought ruined this film a little bit was it felt rushed a lot of the time. There was not a lot of time on any subject of his life. The stories were good but very brief and I would have liked Mike to go into more detail about some of adventures in his life.This is very entertaining and if you are a boxing fan, this is a must watch. Mike comes across as sometimes mad, but I think he is just misunderstood and if you sit down and try and connect with him I think everyone would understand him a lot more... if he lets you.I will give this 7 out of 10."In a fight, in the streets, not like the ring, it has to be almost to the death because you never know. If you don't knock them out cold or you don't him half to death, he'll go home and come back with a gun or come back with a friend with a gun, or gang of people. Normally a fight on the street is deadly"For more reviews, please like my Facebook page:https://www.facebook.com/pages/Ordinary-Person-Movie- Reviews/456572047728204?ref=hl

Mikobotic This documentary blew me away, before this I only knew of Mike Tyson the once great boxer who people spoke ill of and referred to as animal, anyone who thinks Mike Tyson is nothing more than an animal needs to see this film, you will only come to find that Tyson was an animal in the ring which is greatly shown in the movie as it details his power, speed, strength and the intense training it took for him to become one of the worlds greatest ever fighters, but it also shows what happened when he stepped out of the ring, his story needs to be heard and the way it has been portrayed in this film is amazing from a modern view not your typical HBO Documentary, if you want to see some brutal but effective fighting narrated by the man himself and also see Tyson like you have never seen him before, watch this movie.

frncsbrennan I am a boxing fan, and I watched many of the fights in this documentary when they occurred. I was initially a fan of Tyson, as he knocked out 20 opponents in a row to start his career, and knocked out poor Marvis Frazier in less than 30 seconds. But, by the time he fought Buster Douglas in Japan, after all the years of his trash talking, I disliked him and cheered and jumped for joy when Douglas knocked Tyson senseless. From then on, I was always glad to see Tyson take a beating. But, after watching this, I have begun to feel less animosity toward him. He had a very hard life; and he himself admitted he did most of the things he did out of fear and insecurity. I can understand now why he bit Holyfields ear, but I still can never condone it in a boxing ring. I still think he should never have been allowed between the ropes again after doing such a thing. I watched his last fight with McBride, and he was gracious in defeat, admitting he had no stomach for fighting anymore. He's left boxing for good, and he even seems a little happier nowadays.

jccwu This film reminds all of us on how dominant Mike Tyson really was in the ring during his prime! (Tyson) is a unique documentary that doesn't have a narrator. Every single line of words are spoken only through Mike Tyson; which makes it original & intriguing, but also disorientated at times.Without using a narrator, allows the audience to personally experience what Mike Tyson was going through. You become extremely shock & mesmerized at how open he is and the details he is publicly sharing with the film's audience.With the unique style of having the only spoken line of dialogs through Mike Tyson does create the problem by lacking a consistent flow to the time-line and his biography. Since everything we hear is what Tyson is delivering to us, I felt as though the filmmakers was throwing his line of interesting dialogs into the documentary, even though it seemed out of place or irrelevant within the film.Do we truly believe everything Tyson says? Not really, but we do believe that Tyson himself believes in everything he says; which allows us to better understand him as an individual and the reasons behind his mind & actions. This film won't make you change the way you felt about him, but it will make you feel differently for who he is now; which is probably the attempt that the filmmakers wanted us to feel. At the end of all things, Mike Tyson is still human.
