I just got home from seeing This Is It. It’s two hours of film showing the preparations for the 50 city tour Michael Jackson was going to do before he died so tragically. And it’s the most fascinating reality film ever.
I had heard great things about the movie and have been a fan of Michael’s since I was young so I was really looking forward to seeing it. But I was not prepared for just how amazing it would actually be.
My first thought was that it’s so very sad that the concert tour never got to happen because it would have been the most fabulous concert ever. MJ’s attention to every tiny detail of the music, the dance and the stage appearance was incredible. He truly was a rare talent.
There is also lots of new 3-D affects that were created for the tour and they were incredible, particularly the new 3-D scenes for Thriller. Even if you have seen all of his music videos, you haven’t seen anything until you have seen this film. I’m sad we can never see the actual concert completed.
Michael Jackson was the inventor of the dance moves that became popping and locking of today. His music went places music had never gone before and he revolutionized everything he ever touched. All of that was evident in the film.
If you have even considered seeing this film, you really must go see it before it’s gone from the theaters. There are only a few more days before it will leave the theaters, so hurry.
I can’t wait until it’s available on Blu-ray or DVD so I can buy it to watch over and over…it’s just that good. [It's availble to order on DVD, so I'm ordering my copy now.] Oh, and I have already bought the soundtrack. It’s great too.
The world lost a true genius when Michael passed away. But perhaps with this film, we can all keep just a tiny bit of his last days.


Yes, I couldn’t agree with you more. I saw it last night and here in Italy, all films are dubbed into Italian but thank God that they left it in English.
I’ve never been to a theater where there was applause at the end of the movie and the people just did not want to leave until the whole credits were shown to the end.
Michael was such a gift to the world. What a gentle, respectful human being he was. Yes, and he was manly and normal. I couldn’t take my eyes off him for one second that blinking was a nuisance for me…heeehee…
I’d like to see the movie again and can’t wait to buy the dvd in January.
What a genius!! What a man of artistry…!! What a loss for us in this world!
YOu are so right about this movie. It really was the best movie i saw in one year.
I took my 13 year old son, or, I guess he took me. We loved it! His presentation of Earth Song had me completely captivated! My son and I like everyone, did not want to leave until the last note of the last song. He always had the best messages for everyone. Those people that danced and performed with him must have been just devistated when they heard of him passing. They all looked so close. Like a family.
