Hi Ron.
I bought the HD version from Google Play last week...I'm not sure if there is a difference between the HD versus SD versions, but I went with HD anyway.
It's more or less what you would expect - high quality footage from past events/contests, interviews with other pros about Ronnie, and a lot of commentary from Ronnie, who seems to be in pretty rough shape these days. :-\
I sort of nodded off while watching it the past couple of times, but I will sit through it this time. I would suspect Ronnie does not have much time left - I could be wrong, but Ronnie himself stated that he felt like he was dying at times. It was pretty sad in that way.
-
It's hard to feel sorry for someone that did it too themselves. Phil is a jackass, but he's smart.
-
I won't be viewing it as I've heard from reliable sources that even the closed captioning is stooooooopid.

You just can't please some people. One minute people call Phil Heath a punk (and much worse) for lifting "light" weights. Yet, when they lift heavy like Ronnie Coleman (and suffer injuries, as a result), then, they pick on Ronnie and say he was dumb for training the way he did.
If Ronnie can be criticized for anything, it's for not taking care of nagging injuries he's had for years while he was younger.

X2.
People loved Ronnie when he was on top and when he was old and broken down he did it all wrong. See Dorian for reference .
Maybe Jay Cutler is the one who did it all the right way.

Or maybe it's Dexter Jackson. After all, he's still competing and he did win the Olympia once (and almost won it in 2015).

No question Dexter is the correct answer.
I meant Jay looked good for being retired from competition and having reached the mountain top. I'm sure Dex will age well too.

Wrong .
People hate Philsulin for the way he acts ....the light weights and narrowness comments are thrown at him all the time for how arrogant he is .
Everyone loved Ronnie while he was on top ....even when he lost to Jay in 06' but after he placed 4th ,started doing guest posings in terrible shape and started to reap just what he sow in previous years paving the way to his early graveyard, what can you expect from fans ???
Lee Haney won 8 Sandows and everyone seems to be pleased with the man whether he trained heavy or not .
WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BE YE KE

ronnie is a moron, he crippled himself and has 20 kids, anyone with 20 kids is a idiot. ronnie is so dumb he didnt know your supposed to pull your dick out when you cum, thats why he keeps making kids
-
alot of people slag ronnie for his reckless training(of which most of the problems have been caused post retirement to be fair), yet I can guarantee that most who act all too coll for school jaded about bodybuilding were the same schmoe fans back in the day that were cheering ronnie and other pros on. Any member who denies this is full of shit on some point of this, because you ended up at this site for a fucking reason and I have been lurking or as a member since 99/2000 and this site was started and mainly about bodybuilding, especially whaatever the current time. I love the old days look myself but this site was never a a part of that even though some old queers here love to post only old pics of thier favourite musclemen of the 50's 60's and the 70's in thier bathing suits all the while trying to pretend to be straight
Anyways my point is Ronnie is one of the greatest of all time period as far as MR O's go, my choice for the best mr o ever is Lee Haney hads down because he won 8 times, retired while a champ, and has kept a good name and sensibility, plus he is the only Mr O ever on these boards where people can say whatever they want about his physique but nobody has eveer said a legit bad thing about the man himself
anyways if you have not watched nor do not plan to, nobody give a fuck about your need to fit in and be edgy negative opinion

I like the part where you said people come to this board posting muscleman pictures in bathing suit while pretending to be straight ..... ;D
But saying that nobody gives a fuck about negative opinions about Ronnie's movie when the thread tittle is Ronnie Coleman: The King Movie - Discussion?
Got to dig deep Yeahhhhhhh WOOSHHHHH~UDDYYYYYYYYYY

I was never a fan of Ronnie or his training but I do admit his 2003 Olympia was the best I've ever seen, as far as huge and conditioned goes.

It's a biography, mixed with a sympathy piece for Ronnie. It goes through his life story from beginning, his rise through the ranks, his Olympia reign, and finally the last few busted out years. You get praise and backstage stories from most of the big time bodybuilders of the era about him, but nothing too shocking. It's definitely not hard hitting or surprising, but if you're a fan of Ronnie, it's decent.

thanks for the Review! (I’ll catch it when I can then ... no hurry)

New found respect for Jay when he said he knew he’d didn’t beat Ronnie at his best and called him the best of all time. Respect for Jay.

I watched it the other day. Wasn't anything special but as a fan of Ronnie back in the day , I wouldn't have missed it.
Absolutely was shocked at the state he walks now. Certainly gets the sympathy from me. Anyone who slates the guy for his lifestyle choices, is pathetic. :-\
-
Watching it now. It's worth a watch. Nothing earth shattering.

I was shocked as well! I knew he was fucked up by his recent posts on social media, but I didn't know it was that bad. Pretty sad to see a former champion walking around like that. I mean, could you imagine Michael Jordan being in shape, and he's even older.

Yes, it's pretty obvious from his name Michael Arvilla that he is indeed a jew. Perhaps a Spanish Jew? Bench, you would need two promotions to get to be an asshole.

Watched it this AM. A shame what he is going thru. Hope he heals up more and backs off on the lifting.
(Though it doesn't seem what he does in the gym these days is destructive, but I guess it is if screws are breaking).
Too strong for his own good,lifted crazy weights...

Great review, totally agree but if I could turn back the time, I wouldn't watch this simpleton's suffering.
Watch "born strong" instead.
He walks around like a wounded silver gorilla.
He definitely isn't dumb as he looks, just a very shallow and simple soul.
His genetics are second to none though, even better than Oliva IMHO.
-
It gave you a very good look into Ronnie's life. Truthfully, he sounds like a normal person. He doesn't come off as arrogant. On the contrary, it was refreshing to see him talk about not winning at first and feeling dismayed with the idea of bodybuilding following many heart-wrenching losses. It was also nice to see him give Flex Wheeler credit for having the best genetics and Levrone for introducing him to the best diuretic/anxiolytic he ever had in his life (coffee + vodka).
Ronnie was blessed with amazing genes for bodybuilding with a high receptor affinity towards hormonal supplementation. He was a responder like very few others and had a great build that lends itself well to this type of activity.
What's truly sad is that he is addicted to bodybuilding and evidently steroids. He stood at the very top of the bodybuilding world, winning so many Mr. Olympia titles and probably making a lot of money. But once the lights were turned off and he finally lost, he couldn't move on. He couldn't just accept that every IFBB Mr. Olympia at some point in their lives needs to pack up the thong, stop lifting heavy and call it a day. Instead, he felt moved to keep lifting with the same intensity and injecting with the same reckless abandon. His body gave up and his spine showed the effects of a life of sloppy lifting with some of the worst form ever. The man was as strong as an ox and I'm sure he appreciated his gifts, but to what end? To now live a life condemned to crutches as your best friends?
Haney did it right. Ronnie is going about it all wrong. Unfortunately, I think he will end up injuring himself again and needing even more surgeries. Spine surgery is like a revolving door. You work on a few levels, those get strengthened, but the ones below and above are now trying to keep up with the new added stability and then they start to go to shit. Ronnie got the memo, but unfortunately can't read and instead will figure this out the hard way. With kids in the picture and bills to pay, this man needs to relax.
The worse part is that he just seems like a jolly giant who doesn't understand the meaning of not having to win. He isn't a loser at heart, but fuck is he losing at life with his continued antics.

From Javier Perez, a friend of mine on watching this movie...
Never thought a movie that depicts not only a hero of mine and my reason to start bodybuilding in the late 90’s, but the greatest Mr Olympia of all time, would make me drop a few tears. I spent 5 days in 2003 and another 5 in 2004 training with Ronnie Coleman in his house in Arlington. I met his whole family, I went to his church. I witnessed him winning his last 3 Mr Olympia’s. To see him in crutches, completely deterioration of his body at his age, it absolute kills me! But.. that man is a true inspiration. If you want to watch something cool and out of your comfort zone, please do so!!! #GOAT

Wow...it's on Netflix
A must watch..
From the beginning.. to current day / his 8th surgery..
It's sad watching him on crutches.. But as others have stated .. It's because he continues to damage what is left of his body by continuing to lift weights..

I saw it. It was sad. It was cool to see him be a husband and father to his daughters. But overall, sad. I've met and spoken with Ronnie many times always cool. May the God Israel help him in his trying times. They have him all doped up on that oxy. There's gotta he some alternative because the amount he was taking 4 30s everyday. WTF? That's another problem in and of itself.

Best and funniest part, in my opinion, is Kevin Levrone impersonating Ronnie when telling the story about how Ronnie once asked him for help on how to win a Pro show, the night before a show. Levrone simply told Ronnie to relax, drink some vodka and eat some pizza with him. Ronnie refused at first, but eventually gave in reluctantly. The following day, likely because of the vodka and pizza, Ronnie was much dryer and much fuller and he beat Levrone.

Coleman gave the people what they wanted...a man with a ultimate mass of muscle, as in a comic book cartoon come to life. Not being critical here, just the way it appears. Coleman seems a down to earth guy, my impression anyway.
A friend gave me a thumb drive of the video and though I might be interested. I kind of skipped through when watching (only watched it that one time, than passed it to others) so might have missed it, but didn't notice it mentioned how Coleman paid for all those very expensive operations, meds and hospital stays. He does (or did) have a couple of business ventures, so maybe that did help with the bills (don't know). Insurance can only be libel so far, than they may drop you, like with a couple ex jock friends of mine..
Any serious mention of his drug used during his training days, that I missed? No doubt a natural born BB'er, but even he had to have big time help to reach that level of development and the question of money also arises.

Late to the party, but watched it last night and thought the same thing. Goes to show how much respect these guys have for him. Also kind of sad, because it was as if they were eulogizing him. Dude was a beast, but surely he’s hooked on the opiates now. I hope he gets relief from his pain.
-
I finally watched this last night, it was very sad to see Ronnie all laid up and in pain. But he will always be one of the best bodybuilders ever, I mean maybe I wouldn’t want to look like that but as far as mass and conditioning goes he can never be beat.

Really good bb documentary
Really liked it more than any recent stuff
-
Bad enough having to read about his decline without seeing it in a documentary. Ronnie could play Mickey Rourke in a bodybuilding version of the wrestler, just sad just goes to show mental illness comes in all shapes and forms, to keep pushing it when there is nothing to gain is just that.
-
Well it's not a grotesque bbing docu just like so many others are even despite their best intentions.
It doesn't talk about roids at all, which is actually a good thing for once.
It focuses on drive, determination, willpower, struggles and downfalls - also a good thing
the praise is deserved... but there's too much of it in contrast to his real life situations
bottom line:
for a common viewer this is a nice glorified film about a late-and crippled version RC
for a bber who has followed bbing closely for nearly two decades, it's silly, irrelevant, superficial and you won't learn anything other than a refresh of RC's accomplishments, which btw are very real in this circle..
it is not a biography at all. it's just a depiction of his current physical condition compared to the past.
those who have perception can see very clearly that he has now turned medically supervised HC drug junkie
he doesn't call for sympathy though, those who have said he does are mistaken
every other bber interviewed looks pretty unhealthy except for DY, who gets 4seconds of total screen time

I'm still wondering why he went to a nutrition store looking for one of his own supplements. I figured he would have a garage full or he would just have it sent to his house like Rich P did.
Did he rent that Bentley or just buy it for the movie (temp plate with a used car dealer frame)?
Over 100mg of oxy pd makes for a very constipated King.

It’s a good documentary but it’s hard to watch. If the guy would just stop lifting weights and live a normal life he’d be okay. I think he’s still using roids too. He looks really gross.
And you know it’s bad when other bodybuilders are talking about how he over did it and still is. BTW guys what streaming sites to watch sports. I've been researching this issue and found this https://streamingsites.com/premium-sports-streaming-sites/ and keep you posted

Try turning on the Closed Captioning. Coleman is a fuckwit retard and is very difficult to understand. He is even dumber than me.
