The legend lives on

A Customer from London, 22nd September, 2009

The last chance to see the king in action. I have always known Michael the best in his concerts. I could see how much he loved the stage and how much he enjoyed entertaining the audience. Despite all the hard times he went through to create a masterpiece, he enjoyed it, because he was creating. Don't miss it. Watch it and certainly watch his other concert on DVD, the Dangerous Tour in Bucharest. He is THE perfectionist!

Michael Jackson This Is It

Wow,just shows how talented the man was. I saw him in the Dangerous Tour and by the looks of this footage he would have shown he still had the moves that his fans so loved.

Illuminating

cityfc from , 31st October, 2009

I found the film very poignant and quite sad. The concert rehearsals suggest the show would have been stunning and MJ was certainly on form. Its such a shame it never got to happen. I saw the film in the cinema, where many parents, including myself, took children. Mine, at 9 and 10 enjoyed it and found 2 hours about right. Other younger children, who I think had come to watch a 'Michael Jackson concert' and maybe enjoy the videos at home, were bored. This is footage of a rehearsal, not a show.

Better than expected

Lorna from Nottingham, England, 18th March, 2010

I was a bit nervous of 'This is it'. I thought it might be OTT on the I love MJ front. In actually fact it's not like that at all and is quite revealing ... MJ certainly still had it in him in terms of being very entertaining with his dancing and singing and for having produced great pop songs. A shame he never got to finish the project. Top Marks.

master at work

blanket from , 15th March, 2010

every artist who consider himself a decent entertainer should have this in his personal library; it looks like MJ was always more than words.. his inspirational gifts always made miracles and it looks like they will not stop anytime soon! May God bless his beautiful soul in peace! The movie is a master -piece and it looks like it was directed by MJ himself!

very enjoyable

Hubbs from , 15th March, 2010

Very entertaining insight into what would have been an incredible show. I've been a fan since I was very young and it was great to hear all the songs that the fans really want to hear, however the only downside is that it's maybe a little too long...
