• Poster: C+

Review:

These colors have become so ever-present that they are starting to get a bit tiresome. Whiel the design isn't as atrocious as some to use this motif, it doesn't inspire much imagination.

• Trailer: C-

Review:

Tyson's career has long been over. He's been the punchline to any number of jokes over the years, but his celebrity has long since faded. This may interest many of his fans or those who like "where are they now" type entertainment, but there's not much in the preview that's of much interest to me.

Oscar Prospects:

Biographies only make inroads in the Documentary Feature category when they are about important historical figures or are stories about sympathetic individuals. This fits neither of those criteria so should be easily forgotten by Oscar time.
