... View MoreGavin Fitzgerald's documentary moves almost as fast as its subject. It's a tightly edited masterclass in visceral storytelling; eschewing voice over and heavy handed editorializing, Notorious shows how the Dublin lad become a superstar through work, willpower and wit. McGregor's sins - that the sport he dominates is violent, that he talks loud - remain unforgivable to some, but Notorious wastes no time with begrudgers. It's too busy telling a story with as much drama as a cage fight. Check it out, fight fans.
... View MoreGreat account of the life of the Notorious one. Very in detail, shows many behind the scenes tidbits, that make Conor's fights feel more special.
... View MoreCONOR McGREGOR: NOTORIOUS, filmed over the course of 4 years, is a gripping access-all- areas account of McGregor's personal and professional journey from claiming benefits and living in his mum's spare room with his girlfriend to claiming multiple championship belts and 9-figure pay packets. Featuring exclusive interviews, unprecedented access and fight footage, this is the ultimate behind-the- scenes look at a sporting icon and his meteoric rise. Even tho it recycles footage sometimes Conor McGregor: Notorious is a fun Documentary about the life of a skilled athelete and a good man who wanted to achieve his dreams and even become champion, started a family and even met 'The Terminator' Arnold Schwarzenegger. Overall this film was better than i expected it to be and fans of McGregor won't be disappointed. (7/10)
... View MoreAs a fan of Conor, I was looking forward to seeing this documentary, however, it fails to show anything we haven't already seen. Essentially, this is an extended episode of Embedded which heavily revolves around everyone but Conor.The footage of Conor in his early years is limited and in that respect, we don't get a true sense of his progression, it's more presented that he just, sort of, "arrived" at the UFC and began fighting; some more depth would have definitely served well for this documentary to appeal to those who are perhaps not too familiar with Conor. already.There are interesting moments, and, to give credit where it is due, it isn't a badly put together documentary, however, there are obvious gaps in attention to detail, with a lot of the included footage coming across as filler. The majority of the film focuses on Conors preparation before facing Aldo and Diaz, which, again, if you're already familiar with the UFC's Embedded series, is nothing new.Though the die-hard fans may disagree with this review, they will be disappointed to see that I am telling it how it is.
