Watch Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth For Free

Best movie ever!

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Remember in Raging Bull when Jake tries his hand at the comedy clubs? Remember how painfully awkward those scenes where? Well Jake is freaking Richard Pryor compared to Mike Tyson in his one man show. It's just painful to watch as tries to get a laugh or tell a meaningful story. I remember once seeing a drunken guy try to do stand up in an open mic night. He'd lose focus and then suddenly start swearing and say he was going to "beat the ****" out of someone. Mike's show reminded me so much of the drunken stand-up that it was frightening. I couldn't help but wonder why HBO even bothered to air this. I've never been a Tyson fan but I started watching this in hopes that there was more to this guy than I thought. Well, to him then the angry thug we've all seen but, if he is a deeper guy, this show certainly doesn't showcase that.

I am not a big boxing fan but I have always been a Mike Tyson fan. I already knew much of his life story, but I figured this would be a great chance to hear it from the man himself. I just wish it would have been more entertaining.The audio seems very poor. Granted, Tyson has a very weird way of speaking, but I don't normally have this much trouble understanding him. This is very hard to watch without subtitles.Also, this was directed by Spike Lee and Mike mentions him several times. It seems that Spike has influenced Mike with bad feelings about white people. In fact, I think many of the lines were written for Mike.Mike does a good job of performing despite having a bit of a manic presence. I still respect him, I just maybe like him a little less after seeing this.

I had the pleasure of witnessing Mike's 2nd quickest ever KO v Lou Savarese in Glasgow 2000. His first punch landed Savarese on the canvas and it was all over after 38 secs. His status as a legend in my mind was still intact and he's still the greatest, fiercest fighter of my lifetime.I was a bit apprehensive before watching Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth though. I didn't know this was gonna go down. I was worried he'd brag too much about his victories, come across too cocky or be the opposite and be nervous, get stage fright or gloss over some difficult events in his life that we wanted to hear his side of. I mean it's one difficult task punching the lights out of somebody in front of tens of thousands, it's a more daunting one to bare your soul alone on stage in front of a few hundred up close and personal. But he didn't just pull it off well, he totally killed it and delivered a roller-coaster ride of highs and lows and laughter and tears that like most of his fights felt over all too early but had you pondering about what just happened for days after.Even if you never liked Mike as a fighter or the man you thought he was you should watch this and if you still dislike him after it then fine, at least you'll be disliking the real Tyson and not the one the media and a host of money-digging parasites have been spinning you for years...but I think you might just come away with a changed perception to the one you held before.

Love him, or hate him. (And I still love him) Tyson lays it all down in his version of the truth. Very funny stuff, Mike really opens up , and lets you in on some raw nerves, and is very honest in how he sees himself looking back. I will never forget that feeling of just knowing that he would win every fight he entered, that pure sense that he was a true machine. I will also never forget the decent into madness that we all watched him take. I miss that but I have no doubt after watching this show that he misses it more, and regrets so much of what led him to loose so much of what he had. Get deep in this, and Enjoy it. And if you don't like this particular Mike, then screw ya. :)Jesse of www.jesse.ca
