This is It


imdb link  Photos

Plot: This was a making-of video for Michael Jackson's London concert series that he was preparing when he died. It contains all the major songs from the show and backstage development of the show.

Review: This was a lively movie with singing and dancing. The first part of the film was great with powerful dancing and old songs that I forgot that i liked. It showed a dynamic Michael Jackson singing, working and practicing.

The latter part of the movie got repetitive, as the film became predictable. I think the best stuff was at the begining.

The movie is more substantive because it was Michael from beyond the grave. Michael's concert was going to push for action on climate change and environmentalism generally. It was a little corny to hear him preach about that although as you may know from my recent post, I find global warming beyond refute.

Cast: Michael Jackson

Crew: directed by Kenny Ortega

Rating: 3.0 flasks
 Early in the film, it was headed for 4.0, because it was fun and deep, but it kept going and lost a flask.

More: Surprisingly good; recommended. The actual live show would have been something.
