This is it.

Michael Jackson’s This is It.

This is not really a movie. It’s not documentary footage about MJ and his life. This is basically a concert with behind the scenes footage. Remember that MJ didn’t shoot this footage with the intention of making a movie. So all of his actions and reactions are genuine, he is not performing to the camera. He died before he could do this concert, and had he completed it, it would have been the best concert in the history of music. As it is, we only see one quarter of what it would have been, and that quarter was better than every concert I have ever seen! Remember we are seeing rehearsals only, and with just the rehearsal footage, I am impressed.

Not only with the material – MJ’s songs are great – and he plays ALL THE HITS, but with MJ himself.

He is in total control of everything. He even auditions the dancers…there must be like 300 or more of these guys and he goes through all of them!

During the zombie sequence in thriller (a new sequence that is just amazing!) MJ watches all the footage and directs everything that goes on. He cues all the music, and knows every single note of all of his songs.

To top it off, he is very humble. He seems very sweet at times and really seems like he is loving what he is doing. Frequently he looses himself in the song and begins to really sing – something he doesn’t wanna do because he is saving his voice for the show. Well let me tell you, his rehearsal voice is just as good as most peoples studio dubs!!!!

If you are fan of MJ you should see this film for sure. Even if you are a casual fan, you’ll find yourself singing along and moving to the beat.

It was so great that my wife has decided to post her review on the forum.
