the Big question is -when are we going to see Kathryn Bigelow's THE HURT LOCKER???? The non release of the this multi award-winning film is ridiculous. Everyone is waiting ...please enquire why we are the last country in the world to see it on our screens, yet the Awards keep coming...btw the DVD has been released weeks ago and many people have seen it already.

I find it ridiculous when people say they didn't enjoy this is it becuase he didn't move the same or wasn't as good. People he was 50 years old! It's just that our memories of mj are at his peak between mid 20's to late 30s. HOw many 50 year olds do you know that can move or sing like that?

Nice to see you named Kenny Ortega as the "High school musical" director/choreographer, and failed to mention he was the choreographer of dirty dancing. Yes the Patrick swayze dirty dancing.

Michael's 50 concert series in London sold out and had he lived to perform them all, very few people would have had the chance to see the results of this latest work. However, by transforming the videos taken during rehearsals and turning them into a movie, everyone on the planet has the opportunity to see it. I must admit I had discounted MJ for many years, based on media reports of his eccentric behaviour. He may have been weird, but man, was he a talented performer! I loved the movie and recommend you see it before it leaves theatres.

I thought the film was absolutely brillant. It was the first movie i've seen where people are still sitting after the credits have finished rolling. A true insight into what MJ was really like and how dedicated and passionate he was about his performances and music. RIP

I think Matthew Davis is a talented and credible young reviewer, certainly not the bozo some would see him as. Michael Jackson's life was, sadly, in many aspects a complete circus with those around him seeming to view him only as a money generator, a lot like a broken ATM spewing forth money to the streets, people dived in and took what they could...this DVD was the last chance for those people to make money off his life and personally i think it is a disgrace. i would love to see a film about the life of arguably the greatest musical figure planet earth will ever see but i wont stand for one that was clipped together by the person responsible for high school musical in time for the Christmas rush. its not really in the spirit of the season now is it...

I grew up with the Music of MJ. There is still no possiblility of me sitting still when I hear his music. I thought This Is It was a teriffic glimpse into exactly how hard they all worked in front of and behind the scene. The only problem I had with this film is it wasn;tlong enough. Way too much music and deninitely not enough time. He was taken away from us all way too early. Oh, and on a side note, I see no reason that his children should not be allowed to see it. They knew him quite well.

I just got back from seeing it tonight and I'm not AFRAID to say, I was disappointed. I am the biggest MJ lover there is.. and not just one that decided to start worshipping him after he died. Just weeks beforehand, some of those same people were sniggering at me when I told them the biggest honour in my life would be to meet MJ in person. Anyway, putting aside the fact that this movie was clearly made to 'cash-in' as much as possible, I still think it needed to be shown, so we could see what masterpeice this genius had in store for us.. and so we could appreciate all the work he'd done. But the hauntingly sad thing about this movie was, that he DIDN'T look well IMO, he looked very frail and thin. He did not move the same and I could sense a deep sadness in him.. even though he was doing what he loved. I didn't think it was fair for the moviemakers to show the TRUTH behind how these amazing effects were put together. MJ loved being mysterious.. surprising his fans so they would go away wondering how he managed to do what he did.. this kinda demystified some of it for me.. When I want to remember MJ, I'm going to put my Bucharest DVD on. THAT'S how he would've wanted to be remembered, before all the hurt and pain he went through in his later years. He was a true humanitarian, the world's greatest artist and the most talented man to ever have lived .. and I really miss him.

I think the reviewer missed the point of 'This is it'. It was never meant to be a documentary of his life and troubles but a taste of what audiences would have seen during his 50 concerts in London. It is an appropriate way to remember MJ and his remarkable singing, dancing and song writing talents. No more references to Wacko Jacko please, show a little bit of class and respect Matthew as he is afterall dead. RIP

Some amazing footage in this film.. Michael Jackson really was an absolutely effortless performer and musical genius, and this really shows that. Hoewever, the irritating kiss-arse comments being fired every five seconds from off-screen did become incredibly tedious :P

Did it's job of showing the side of Michael that seems very forgotten in the world of paparazzi. Very enjoyable overall, and as a previously on-the-fence Michael follower, I do reccommend that you go and see this film :]
