Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

ShangLuda Admirable film.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

kellybailey-23521 Michael looks so emaciated in this film, it's like skin stretching across bones. He was very ill during this time but forced to work by AEG, and put on a number of drugs to keep him controllable during the day. There is no way he should have passed AEG's medical exams but the show must go on!It is sickening and heartbreaking to watch this footage pieced together to tell a lie, and knowing there is (or was) hours and hours of other footage showing him too ill to rehearse is infuriating.This documentary is a cover-up and was made to recoup financial losses from the This Is It concerts that never took place.There are numerous people close to Jackson who confirm how ill he was, and the Jackson family took AEG to court over it.Don't buy into this bs documentary.

KissEnglishPasto .......................................................from Pasto,Colombia...Via: L.A. CA., CALI, COLOMBIA and ORLANDO, FLThose of you who are fans will undoubtedly love THIS IS IT.(Although it most certainly will bring you some tearful moments) Those of you who aren't, will probably enjoy it a lot, despite any negative feelings or concepts you may harbor about Michael Jackson's personal life. Frankly, I was lukewarm about going to see it. Thanks to my wife Carmen's insistence, this outstanding work moved and inspired both of us.Ever the consummate perfectionist, Jackson seemed poised to embark on a grueling 50 performance tour that, undoubtedly, would have served as the comeback/swan song to end all comebacks/swan songs?! This miraculously edited work (From over 1,000 hours of footage), apparently the brainchild of director Kenny Ortega, provides us with a direct window into the elaborate creative process of a true performing genius. What a show it would have been! Jackson was putting together a tour experience that elevated itself to near art form/near perfection. What a profound shame that it was never to be! A stunningly awesome international ensemble of world-class dancers, singers, musicians, performers, and technicians were assembled by this Tour juggernaut, ALL of them seemingly worshiping the ground M.J. walked on. Was there any foreshadowing of the looming ominous event that caught us all by surprise? A few chips in M.J.'s armor? Frequently, he apologized to all present for "Holding back and not giving 100% in order to conserve energy and save his voice." But then again, most of the other performers were 1/2 his age! One thing is for certain: There will be no more Michael Jackson Tours, nor new Michael Jackson hits to add to his long and impressive list. They are his legacy to all of us and have forever become part of our cultural landscape. I recommend you experience THIS IS IT in a good home- theater for full impact...9* STARS*....ENJOY/DISFRUTELA! Any comments, questions or observations, in English or Español, are most welcome!

Python Hyena This Is It (2009):Dir: Kenny Ortega / Featuring: Michael Jackson, Kenny Ortega, Judith Hill, Orianthi Panagaris: In mid 2009 it was it for the pop sensation who has dazzled fans for four decades with the most unique style of performance. Michael Jackson was crowned "the King of pop" and despite controversy throughout his career, he still sustained a talent unequaled and often imitated. Director Kenny Ortega takes fans backstage for an intimate view of what was to be the comeback tour of Michael Jackson's career. We meet the awestruck dancers whose dreams are now reality. We witness the tremendous stage productions the accompany the various popular pop hits. Plus we meet Michael himself, humble, dazzling, and encouraging to the abilities of others. Highlights include a spectacular production of the hit song "Thriller", as well as a duet with Judith Hill on "I Just can't Stop Loving You." Guitarist Orianthi Panagaris does a solo within the song "Black or White." There are numerous songs featured although unfortunately not every great Jackson song made it. Perhaps more detail with the dancers and backup singers might have given it an even more personal touch, otherwise this is a well crafted visually appealing documentary. If anyone seeks a backstage view of concert tour preparation, or just wish for another glimpse at the man himself, this is it. Score: 9 / 10

James Simms Just when I was looking forward to see "Michael Jackson's This Is It" there were a few things that I was expecting... We get to see what Michael has planned for his canceled "This Is It" concert and a fully crowded cineplex which enables me to pretend like was act an actual concert with the clapping & applauding at the end of every song but unfortunately I only receive half of what I have anticipated. The cineplex was less crowded than I was expecting and the audience watch through it like any other movie (Although I didn't expect everyone to share my enthusiasm) in which I too had to endure and only applauded after the film! But despite all that it was a good documentary but not a concert film as it been considered or as I hoping for it to turn out to be, it gave us a glimpse of what Michael has been preparing if the concert ever toke place and even show the viewers how much he's more than just an entertainer, it shows he's also a visionary which pretty much makes him for what his fans has seen him for and should be seen for. But still, the experience just reminded me and probably others who have view this even as bittersweet that Michael was truly gone and everything we see is just rehearsal but not what we should and could have been seeing! Non the less, the only good that came from this is aleast we get to see Michael perform one last time and what he have been preparing for what could have been greater than what we have seen so far. Nuff said!!!...
