How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

Mr X
4.0 out of 5 starsBehind the muscles....
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 April 2020
This was the 2md time that I'm watching this.

The personalities behind the characters on stage are quite varied, but this film looks at the darker, brooding side of what goes on off the stage.

Some of the stereotypes of bodybuilders ring true and others are broken.

A good insight into what goes on in the minds of a highly disciplined and competitive sport.

S. Ramsey-Hardy
3.0 out of 5 starsLess than cheerful
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 June 2016
This documentary is a downbeat look at the ruthless world of competitive bodybuilding, and its self-absorbed competitors.

The documentary is well made, but it is hampered by the absence of any character in the story who is light-hearted, let alone funny or out-going. These bodybuilders take themselves very seriously.

This film's most memorable personality is Kai Green, who comes across as sad. He appears to be depressed and solitary, and there is something that strikes you as heart-breaking about his situation.

In comparison with the famous "Pumping Iron" of 30 years ago (which featured a funny and watchable star, Schwarzenegger), "Generation Iron" leaves you feeling generally less cheerful about this tough sport.

5.0 out of 5 stars Modern Day 'Pumping Iron'.

A must for any Bodybuilding fan and anyone interested in the lives of bodybuilders, contains some references to the Taboo nature of supplementation which makes a refreshing change rather than dismissing it.

Really is one to watch a couple of times and watch after the original 'Pumping Iron' film as I did, shows how cut throat and the personal nature of the sport.

Brilliant!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beast mode

Very compelling documentary following the lives of several contenders for the Mr. Universe competition. The people are allowed to express their ideas about the sport from their similar but unique individual viewpoints and motivations, reflective of their lifestyles and how they fit it and themselves around their arduous training regimen. I had absolutely no interest whatsoever in body building before watching this and it really made a positive difference in how I view the sport and it's competitors. 10/10.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of a kind!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 November 2016

Couldn't have given it any less than a 5 *. The film is moving as well as inspirational! To see how people changed their lives around with motivating themselves to workout, getting that sense of relief and determination to become somebody instead of nobody made me realize that anything is achievable if you put your mind to it!

Great documentary! Could watch this over and over again!

Very good documentary.. Great for inspiration. Although I really love the world of bodybuilding these guys do have issues.

Would I like to be that big.. Hell yes I would.. But natural and healthy. (Just lost someone I know to steroids)
