...DVD of Michael Jackson's rehersals for his past concert tour.

Highly recommended.

Mostly concert performance footage.

Regardless of what you think of the man, his performances are electrifying.

This movie is just a quickly put together package done by his family to squeeze every last penny out of his reputation, which they have been living off of for decades. Suck his fans dry before his popularity wears off!

  ...until I actually saw this movie.
  
  He may have been nuts but Jackson was one talented, hard working man. I was surprised by how much control he exerted on every detail of the stage production and the energy levels he sustained over the rehearsal period - this would have taxed a much younger (and healthier) man.
  
  Driven, I think < is not too strong a word to use, whatever one ultimately thinks of his music. Control freak is another. The man was not flakey when it came to his music and its presentation.

Michael Jackson had more talent in one finger than Britteny has in her whole body - Brian A 15:35:15 02/15/10 (3)
Problem is, his perversion also was quite potent.

And the way he always yammered about his love for children's charity. . . .

He was a tortured soul.

If only MJ had lived long enough to get in a few live performances... - eppis1 14:44:47 02/15/10 (3)
...another in the endless list of life's "what ifs." He was definitely of the lower depths, but there was a great performer mixed into that sordid package.
- Might have been disappointing at best.....his moves weren't the same.... - mr grits 15:26:00 02/15/10 (2)
  everybody get old, unfortunately.

  - I thought for about 1/3 of the film it wasn't the "real" Michael - grinagog 15:38:22 02/15/10 (1)
    they were using a look-alike
    The "Thriller" part was cool, lukewarm about the rest

      I haven't seen the film, but frankly to see MJ still doing the same thing he did 30 years ago is about as interesting as The Rolling Stones.
