Generation Snore

Trash. If you like watching cool shots of the director more than subject matter including his weirder sounding voice over then you'll love this. If not. Then stop now. Truly

It's a bunch of juiced up guys lifting weights

I still find this weird as is it a drug competition or a muscle building competition

Worst in the series

I will never buy a GI product again, you've been warned. I advise watching the first one only. as this, just like the 2nd is a mess and a complete joke.

Best in the series

I have never been a fan of the Generation Iron series, down to it's aesthetics and sometimes boring despite being a very interesting subject matter. This one, however, completely broke the mold in term of actually following hardships and most of all- inspiration.

It tackles the difficult to speak about subject of steroids. It follows genetically gifted Ghanaians who can't even eat enough without going bankrupt but continue to strive for recognition. It follows underdogs who are the only bodybuilders from their countries good enough to compete, showing their ups and downs. It breaks down the divisions further and teaches us more about them in a layman's way.

It's easy to hate on these documentaries given their nature and it's almost piggy-backing on the success of Pumping Iron. This time, however, I've never felt so inspired at the end of a Generation Iron documentary.

Well done. 8/10

Confirms What We Already Knew

Men's Physique is a joke. A competition that ignores legs does not belong at the major shows.

Quotes
Kai Greene: Yeah. I used to think it was bodybuilding, you know. But I've gotten a chance to grow a little bit more, just, just by way of having more opportunity to think a little deeper about it and be exposed to a lot. When it comes to the individual that's looking at you as a bodybuilder, a lot of times, it may be that bodybuilding becomes the platform that makes the introduction, but I think the thing that allows them to resonate well with you is beyond bodybuilding. The thing that may encourage someone most to want to pay attention to anything you have to say has more to do with their ability to identify themselves in you. That becomes everything. You know, 'cause without that, then there's just sets and reps and how much can you bench and how big is your chest versus this guy. But the things that are unique to your personality, the struggles that are revealed in, um, who you are, um, and how that reads on film a lot of times, is the thing that... allows people to want to take that journey with you.
