the 2005 Olympia

[1705total]

Hi folks. Please read this review:
The 2005 Mr. Olympia was marred with technical difficulties. The dvd lets you experiance these diffculities as well.

First off the only thing worth watching in this 2 disc dvd set is the bonus disc. Filmed by Mits, we see wildcard highlights, backstage action for both the wildcard and the Olympia and the press conferance.
This is interesting footage but not worth the price.

The Olympia contest footage is nothing more then the pay per view show, complete with the absolutely horrendous commentary of Shawn Ray and Dan Solomon. In fact their voice commentary drowns out the music of the athletes posing routine. This absolutely sucks!!!
Also the audio is terrible as well. You have to turn up the volume on your tv set to hear anything, but don't you dare switch to the menu, because you will be blasted by the background sound of the menu screen!!!


For those in charge of putting these dvd's out, please, please go back to the folks at Magna media. They have always done a great job.


For the viewer, save you money this dvd is almost, no scratch that, it is painfull to watch!!

Thanks, Steve. Shame that they released it at all. Would rather watch Mits' Battle for the O.

Thanks for the warning Steve!

I saw the show on PPV…. It looked like a local show, organized by a bad promoter! Not very good for the image of the sport
