Hmm.. first of all, this is not a movie but a documentary about his This is it concert. Fans around the world will declare otherwise, saying this is the epitome of fine arts and music from the Legendary King of Pop, but I just want to be honest. I am a big fan of his. Whenever people asked me who my favourite singer was, I have always told people that he was my favourite, and he is the best performer of the century. In my humble opinion, He still is the best as I dont find anyone who can match his whole package in terms of showmanship, entertainment and talent). I enjoyed this documentary a lot especially when the company I went with knows how to appreciate MJ as well, but still I felt that it didn't deliver the "Boom Boom Pow" or the "Wow" effect!
And after watching this movie, I felt really pity that he didn't get to perform even one complete concert. The concert would've been magnificent with all the latest CGI technologies and the superb new hip hop dancers that he personally auditioned and handpicked. And with MJ, you know that he always wanted the best for the audience thus he was very detailed and tries to be perfect with all his costumes, singing and dance cheoreography.
You know you will get the best from MJ as you know he's always pushing the limits and setting new standards. That's what MJ is all about, setting new boundaries". Yet, you can see that age (he was 50) is slowly catching up on him with his slowing down in dancemoves and inability to hit some of the notes. Yet you cannot help but feel that he's the best. Yes, that's the feeling you get when you watch this documentary. It's an awesome feeling... overwhelming but not the touching kind.
Well, guess if you want to watch the touching documentaries, you'd have to catch the memorial dvd. As for this movie, it's all about his "This is it!" concert. This movie reminds us of all his spectacular hits and his dance moves and he is still able to throw some new spice into these legendary songs.
Btw, if you do not have good sound system at home, perhaps you can consider watching this in the movies as it will serve your memory as MJ's last concert on earth. And remember to stay past the credits to look out for that special interesting CGI clip. I missed that part myself because I had such a full tank after sitting at the comfortable seat sipping large cold coke for 2 straight hours. Yep, just couldn't wait any longer! Guess I'd just have to catch it on DVD. :)
