carlrooney-222-956794 I've loved Mike Tyson the boxer from the very 1st time I remember watching him during my tennage years back in the nineties. I'm from a rural town in England a million miles from Brooklyn New York and a million miles from the "gutter" as Mike would call it. To this day the media in the UK does its best to put people up on high down to the depths of despair and Mike alike so many others was never portraid to be anything other than an "animal" from my memory. IgNorant to media I could care less and ignored bad publicity because in my eyes Mike was a phenom a unique once in a millennia gift from the so called God above. An unmatched raw talent with electric speed and god like power that instantly made me a fan and gradually in a short space of time would see him rise to the top of the tree in my own "best boxer" pecking order. Yet who is Mike Tyson, what was his life like and would the "baddest man on the planet" ever share his story. Luckily Yes and he has. Whether you want to or not there is a lot to like and in some love about Iron Mike and you will be pleasantly surprised in Mike,s one man show delivery that he seems to be a natural. There may be profrainity and there may be violence described (within moderation) but hearing the story from the man himself may put all those sad sad doubters to bed. 9/10

jimlacy2003 The good thing about it looks like Mike cleaned up his act a lot. Other then that thought this was terrible! So much so I walked out after about 20 minutes of the show.Boring, pretentious, pompous, felt very staged and rehearsed (as opposed to being natural). Hard to call something the "truth" when someone else obviously writes the lines for you; and then you follow it like a parrot (as this appeared to be).Also a lot of the material was racist. When a "comedian" has to resort mainly to dirty and racist jokes, it's usually done in lieu of talent, skill, or creativity. I'm not talking about those that do/did it well like Eddy Murphy, Richard Prior, Red Fox, etc., as you know when they do they got a lot more going for them.Don't waste time on this one. There are much better biographic comedies out there to see instead.

Mr X The material is uneven, but you can sort of feel him in there, his spirit, where he came from, big moments, not all necessarily original but he can be surprisingly funny! I laughed quite a lot (that whole Mitch ongoing story was really a blast), and I'm no fan of the guy, not even as a boxer really. But he is M. Tyson, he's an icon. He's also a man who has to come to age and reflect on his life, as we all do, and personally I think Lee was able to bring some order to this chaotic man on stage, and make it interesting for the viewer. You have to give the man a break really. He was, and in many ways still is, somewhat a brute, struggling with his past, trying to make sense out of it. But it takes guts to do this and come out. It's really not a fact finding mission as in a documentary piece, despite the title - you get themes with some media support and varying levels of engagement from Tyson, from the very personal to the somewhat detached. On the whole I found it was pretty successful. Who would have thought?

Jesse Boland 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
