Wha'ts not to like? It's one of, if not the most spectacular documentaries of our Pop culture's GREATEST! It captures MJ doing what he did loved and... did best. His moves, his voice and tallant never to be repeated by anyone! This movie deserves 10 stars but you can only vote for 5. Thanks Kenny for your tallant putting this together. I loved it and saw it many times before it came out on DVD. Full Review

This movie shows Michael Jackon as He is - GENIUS. But you can't forget those are only rehearsals, when He never give everything he has. That can be... easily seen on youtube where clips of rehearsals of His Dangerous tour can be found. Watch that and then buy Dangerous tour: Live in Bucharest DVD and you will see a major contrast, but with little imagination you can imagine what a show would've THIS IS IT been. Full Review

I agree ireckin1971. Why contribute $ to a pedofile's estate. This guy got an easier pass on life than Obama did getting to the... White House. Any person without access to fort knox to pay for lawyers and hush money would be marking days off on a calendar in a 6x8 cell. Full Review

Michael Jackson should be respected more. But ignoring the haters, Michael is truly a entertainment miracle. Since I've bought the DVD, I might have... watched it about 30 times...if not, more. This movie is filled with magical rhythms that will make you start dancing. I can'******* it without my head making some kind of movement and my shoulders going up and down. Overall, this movie IS my favorite movie. Full Review

[An] extraordinary documentary, nothing at all like what I was expecting to see. Here is not a sick and drugged man forcing himself through grueling rehearsals, but a spirit embodied by music. Michael Jackson was something else.Full Review

One of the best documents of live performance that I've ever seen, a rehearsal diary that's more intimate and immediate than a traditional concert film.Full Review

What this strange yet strangely beguiling film does is capture one of pop culture's great entertainers in the feverish grips of pure creativity.Full Review
