Review of Generation Iron (2013) by Alex R — 07 Apr 2014

Generation Iron is a very good documentary about the sport of bodybuilding that follows the 2012 Mister Olympia year. Focusing on that year's competition, Generation Iron features the sport's biggest names competing for the coveted Mr.

Olympia title. The way that the documentary goes into its subject, following each bodybuilding, and gives us insight on how they prepare physically and mentally for the event is quite interesting. Each bodybuilder has a unique approach to their method of physical conditioning and training, and the dedication that each of them has in order to win the title is truly something.

The method of body building can easily be described as a sculptor that sculpts a fine work of art. Each bodybuilder sculpts their body with precision, dedication and overall determination in order to win the most celebrated title in the sport.

Fans of the sport will enjoy this thoroughly engaging documentary, and even strangers to Bodybuilding might find this entertaining due to the fact that this is a highly competitive sport that has only winner.

The determination of each bodybuilder is intense, fierce and unequalled. In terms of documenting its subject, Generation Iron definitely manages to go in depth of its subject in order for the viewer to truly understand the method and somewhat eccentric reason to why bodybuilders want to do this type of sport.

The film is revealing and constantly entertaining and it will certainly appeal to anyone looking for a truly engaging documentary film to watch. Even if you're not a fan of the sport, this is worth seeing because it's nonetheless an interesting topic, and one that has been heavily scrutinized by the public due to some of the methods that a few bodybuilders have used during their training.

This film might help give the common viewer a different perspective on the sport, and provide an entertaining viewing experience as well.
