    Anyone seen it?
    Is it worth a viewing, or does it just go 'over old ground?'
    Genuine assessment appreciated!

    It depends on you. It's worth a look and one of the better tyson documentaries I've ever seen. Still doesn't top the Tyson(1995) movie where Michael Jai White played Tyson. I have yet to see that in stores:verysad

    Very good movie, Tyson really shows his emotional side. It's done with taste and is not ham-fisted, it's basically just Tyson talking about his life. It really changed my perception of him even though I knew he was still a kid inside.

    It's a great semi-bio pic. I say "semi" because the director does a good job of framing sub-topics & telling Tyson's story. IMO, it's a must-have for the personal library.:thumbsup

    You could find a torrent around, I think. I DL'd mine a couple of weeks before it hit theaters.

    Yeah, Jai White is that damn good! lol. All jokes aside I just prefer to see the Tyson movie in 1995 and think it's better than the documentary. I didn't mean to confuse you.

    Great character study of Tyson.
    I loved it.

    The guy is completely honest, even when it isn't in his best interests.

    Def a good watch....he openly talks about various points of his life,...
    in my opinion its a good watch...an if you dont have a lump in your throat along the way i'd be surprised, esp when he talks about cus d'amato...
    its def worth purchasing and i can guarantee it would take pride in your dvd / blu ray collection
    (think with the blu ray you get an extra 4 hours of fight footage / commentary etc)
