Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth (DVD + Digital Copy)

The story of Mike Tyson is definitely one of my personal favourite ones EVER. I have seen many documentaries of Mike Tyson and I have looked into other areas of his life. I am not into boxing or any sports of that kind. But Mike's life story is really something incredibly inspiring. There are tons of stories of this kind, where a poor man, against all adds hits the top, and makes it. But Mike Tyson in many aspects stands alone, strong and super-cool. In ICON-athlete category to me he is with Bruce Lee, Maradona and Pelé, and totally belongs to the world ... From a "human" perspective, his highs and lows are truly unbelievable - SUPER-HUMAN. Mike is still going and seem to be in a great place in his life, fairly sane, still very strong and with great sense of humour.Over-all, the "movie" is incredible. It is a testament of Mike's state of mind at the moment, and his place in his life at the moment. It's Mike Tyson telling his own life story, in his own words, on the stage right in front of the audience. It's semi-scripted stand-up, based on the book of his own biography with title of "Undisputed Truth". It was all done and filmed in smaller venue. I'd call this very up-close and personal. It shows Mike Tyson in very accessible light. He appears to be happy and fairly stable. In this movie his personality is HUGE. He is very entertaining to listen to and really seem like fun guy to be around with. It's almost shocking how strong and big personality comes from boxer. In theory most successful "athletes" are ponies of some-body else's ideas, support and money. The story of Mike Tyson definitely has elements of that, but it does NOT define him at all. His life's journey took him in million directions, to all time highs to 100 feet below ground and he comes back up every-time ...I am really NOT Spike Lee fan and because of that, I resisted this DVD for a long time. I don't see any "typical" Spike Lee in this - it's PURE dose of Mike. Great, great, great experience - Long Live Mike!!!

I feel like this is what really re-launched Tyson’s career. This was phenomenal, and made the man, the myth, and the legend human again. We’re rooting for you Mike.

It has some really funny parts I watched it a few times now Lol there are some sad stuff and some very interesting parts of his life also but the whole thing moves at a great pace

Really not what I thought it was when I purchased this documentary. I had memories of his scandals and was watching this because I thought it would be fight footage focused. It's Tyson in his own words, who gives a funny, honest and interesting look at his history. I really gained an admiration for him after watching this.

I am an unabashed fan of Iron Mike. The fighter. I am now a fan of Mike, the man. I continue to watch the fights and the many documentaries on him. I came to this work knowing some stuff. Not much was new but it was so rewarding and in a lot of places fun to watch Mike talk about what would be terribly painful and sometimes embarrassing experiences. I came away thinking, I love it. The vulnerability that so much of society is lacking. Everyone so afraid of being hurt that they live a life unknown or unknowable. Not so for Mike. Mike lays it out there. I read his book so I don't wonder what he's not telling us. He's telling us who he is and who he was, all the while admitting that back then he didn't even know. There is no shame in it. When we are young, most of us don't know who we are, we know what we do. Who we are is the question that living life will hopefully answer.I would encourage the reading of Mike's memoir. I defy you to put it down once you've picked it up. Mike is a rather masterful storyteller. I am rooting for him to conquer as he once did in the ring.

Much like the man himself...gritty, tough, street-wise, but also painfully honest, teeming with raw emotion and most of all hilarious. What's great about this is that Tyson is able to laugh at himself and be self-deprecating. This is such a surprise and a welcome one, and makes his exposition that much more enjoyable. Overall a raw and honest look through the waypoints of his life, and with the bravery to address the passing of his child which I understand he struggled with greatly during this shows initial broadway runs. Spike Lee adds a bit of direction, narrative structure and effects and music, with deft selection. Overall a fascinating and emotional look into Tyson's past that will have you intrigued, rolling with laughter and finally sympathetic toward an often misunderstood soul. Well produced and highly recommended.

I'm not a fan of Tyson, but I saw this on cable at the insistence of a friend who guaranteed me this film would change my opinion of him. After three days of her begging me I finally watched it. I am happy to say that she was right on the money. I couldn't believe that this was the same person. Mike Tyson light on his feet, jovial, witty, and funny as hell? Yes! He definitely showed a totally different persona. Kudos for the special effects, sound effects and the spontaneity in which the presentation flowed. I'm told his wife helped in putting it all together. They did a fantastic job and I am very happy I added this to my collection. Please, please watch this. and prepare to be amazed. You will not be disappointed!

Very entertaining and fun too watch mike talk about parts of his life
