Wicked Documentary, Man...

[Exige Jr]

I thought this documentary was wicked...a wicked waste of money! Not one good scene of Tyson training or of in the ring action. I mean, a good chunk of the film was Tyson going on a friggin shopping spree if I recall. Some good information, but not a very well put together film IMO. I remember watching it with my girlfriend at the time and feeling ripped off. That's saying alot, as it had only cost me $10.

Well I wasnt necessarily looking for a documentary on his boxing life... otherwise I would have gone and watched Beyond The Glory or some other well publicised documentary... I thought it was just interesting about his religion/the way he lives/his interaction with fans... Ive seen almost all his fights and wanna see the real mike or the mike outside of the ring...

From that perspective I can see it. But I was looking for a cool Tyson documentary that might get my girlfriend excited about boxing. When it was over, she just laughed at me for buying this. I mean the low production values (it was just stock footage edited together isn't it?) the lack of any fight footage. You'd think a girl would be more into hearing about Tyson's personal life and the person he is and his relationship with women than seeing him kick the **** out of someone but no, she was really dissapointed that there wasn't any fighting or even training or anything.

I guess if I knew what I was getting into before I bought it, I wouldn't have been let down. Here's a question, did you spend money on it or just watch it online? For a free docu it's good, but I'd rather I had spent the $10 on sushi or pizza or something or put it towards an exceptional boxingdocu like Ring of Fire.

Hell no I didnt pay for it. That was the first I ever saw of it.

You just hate it cos you didnt get any, that night you watched it with your girlfriend. So now all the memories are coming back.

Oh, I got some alright. That's what kept the night from being a complete strikeout.

That and she bought me Napolean Dynamite for my birthday!
