When does James Brown get a movie? That's a movie I want to see (like The Blues Brothers and Rocky IV).

RIP you sexmachine.

This is the way of the world isn't it. This is too good an opportunity to miss. And also I think MJ's estate needs some cash, and so do his kids. So its all for a good cause, even if this album is not up to the mark. But I agree with you about MJ's talent. It was absolutely fantastic and I too wish that they had let it be, and not raked this old song out of somewhere. I have read MJ's hand and he had a brilliant creative talent.

You should put a disclaimer in the review your a white guy. This seems to be an almost historical event for African-Americans, who had pictures of him on there walls growing up in 80's. Reminds them of there youth, and there is nothing wrong with it. It is what is is, a fallen former hero they will never see again. Worth $10 or more bucks and two hours of time. I don't get Tyler Perry movies or shows, but I respect the audience, same as people who would see "Saw" movies.

Just saying we are not the target audience of this movie, everyone who buys a ticket for the movie knows what they are getting, and will be thankful this will be the last image of him, a performer close to his prime. Unlike Elvis, who was well past his prime in the end.

Past his prime? MJ was WAY past his prime when he passed away. And for the record, this isn't really a "historical event," it's a movie. The "historical" part could have been when he FIRST passed away, but even that is up for debate. I've loved MJ and his music since I can remember, and I was born in 89. Also, to say this is a historical event for AFRICAN AMERICANS… Well, that's sort of ignorant.

How about, it's a historical event for anyone who loved him enough to check this out. Personally, I watched it. Was it worth it? Sorry to say, no. It just reminded me of what he use to be able to do, and what he was amazing at. I'm happy he tried to make a comeback, but eh.

In the end, I think everyone just needs to let the damn man rest in peace. I mean jeez, between radio stations doing nothing but playing his music, to MTV/VH1 doing nothing but playing that Jackson 5 biography or whatever it is… to this… to all his books..

I understand we all miss him and everything, but sometimes doing NOTHING says the most. Like I said, leave the man to rest.

I am really excited about this movie.I don't care if people don't like ,I am a Michale Jackson fan and I really want this movie to break records because he is genius and his music is just brilliant .He music will remain forever that's a guarantee.

I rather disagree that this is solely a "money grab". I've heard reviews refer to it as an "celebration" of his career, plus a large portion of the proceeds are going to his estate "to benefit the Michael Jackson Family Trust." I read that he was doing this tour to earn money for his children, and it seems the studio is making sure that still happens. I see nothing wrong with that, and I think many of us are thrilled to have an opportunity to finally see how Mr. Jackson puts together another legendary concert.

I think it's great that they did this movie. It's liek the concert he didn't get to have. and all of the fans who were so excited to go to his final concert – this was it. This was the last thing they had left. I thought it was a brilliant movie. It was like a celebration of his career. Any MJ fan would appreciate it. I was in awe while watching movie – seeing all that he was going to do with this concert. It was brilliant. I really think anyone could appreciate that. This was videos from his last days alive – that's something that many people would love to have after their loved ones pass away. And quite honestly, I think it's awesome that the whole world can see.
This movie also really opened my eyes to what the dancers must of felt – how devistated they must have been. I never knew how kind when working with his "crew" that MJ was. I thought it was a great movie. (:

i just wanted to say, I am almost 50 myself, I have been a fan though it all,anyone can say what they want, but the trurth is, when i went to see This is it, i waitted for it to bomb.i must tell you it didn't, i beleive i was not the only women in the move, who danced in my set, just like i always did. i cried when he did ' i'll be there.. yes even though he didn't say all the words. but you can respect that, because he was a singer saving his voice. he always new were he was in the song, his love for us was evedent. i believe he was a good humanaterin.
he work on this every step of the way, he was not, a puppet. At 50 he moved like he was 25. his heart his sole his love all came though. everything he wanted us to know about him. knowing this was days befor his death, i will al ways remember him this way,i believe that if people die doing what they love the best, then there death is not in vien,and Michael loved us all.
I know I will miss his presents on this planet for ever. I will always look the man (women) in the mirror and remember Michael asked me to change my ways.

R.I.P Mj see you in the next life

This film could have easily come across as a love letter to a fallen legend. It would have also been taken as a slap in the face to an already tarnished legacy left behind by a dimming star. This Is It is neither. This is a film that cuts deep, and leaves a memorable scar of hope. Jackson may have been an odd seed, but at least he wasn’t a sheep (black, OR white). He had heart, faith, and an understanding of what brilliance sounded (and looked) like.

Those who have relationships with millions are often alone. And what is left afterwards are their stories – written in books, made into movies…… I personally think ‘This is it’ is an irony of what we see and what we precieve. Sad end though.

MJ was a legend. Only his movies can bring in such a huge response that its producer, Sony, is looking for 'This is also it' – a sequel of the current movie.

THIS IS IT proves Michael was vibrant, still very virile, active, and talented beyond words. He was thin, but he was also 50 years old and working incredibly hard. Michael Jackson is the true, wonderous musical prodigy of our century. His pure loving heart lives on in his precious soul, finally free in Heaven. Even after his passing, people continue to use his name to gain fame and fortune. Michael is such a loving, kind, forgiving soul, I am sure he is up in Heaven just praying for us all to be kind to one another and get along. For Michael's honor I will say, if you do not like THIS IS IT, do not go watch it. If you do not like Michael, do not like Michael. Michael loves you, and I am sure he is praying for your unhappy soul. Michael Joseph Jackson was a loving, kind, caring, giving man talented beyond our realm of understanding. Now he is in a place where he is finally free, finally free of judgement, hatred, and misunderstanding. Mike, I love you, I appreciate you, and most precious beautiful butterfly, sore amongst the Angels and moonwalk on those streets of gold. L.o.v.e. forever, miss you always, and I will honor my life by living in patience, kindness and love.
