It's hard not to watch This Is It without feeling a mixture of sorrow and elation. When he passed away in the summer of 2009, Michael Jackson was in the midst of rehearsals for his final tour, an ambitious 50-date engagement. In editing 120 hours of rehearsal footage together, Jackson producer Kenny Ortega proves that it would've been an event for the ages. Michael performs material that spans his career, from a Motown medley to multi-platinum hits from Off the Wall, Thriller, and Bad. Though he hadn't toured in 10 years, it becomes instantly apparent, despite rumors to the contrary, that Jackson was still in full possession of that unmistakable voice--high-pitched whoops and all--and that he still had the gravity-defying moves of a man half his age. Jackson and Ortega also collaborated on some real showstoppers, such as a graveyard-set "Thriller"; an imposing "They Don't Care About Us," in which several dancers appear to morph into thousands; and a film noir sequence in which the singer slides in and out of Gilda and other black-and-white classics, singing "Smooth Criminal" all the while. Not everything works, like the Jackson 5 numbers, in which he flubs a few lyrics, claiming that his earpiece isn't working properly, but as he readily acknowledges, "That's what rehearsal is for." It's a tragedy that he didn't get the chance to share this dazzling show with the world, but Ortega allows fans to feel as if it actually happened--at least onscreen. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

MICHAEL SHOWS US THAT HE IS 100% TALENT!! March 17, 2010
Heather E. Mcglothlin (Richlands,VA USA)
This film has a perfect title, THIS IS IT!! This is a must have for any die-hard MJ fan!! I absolutely adored this film. The 3-D effects of THRILLER you cannot beat. It will make you want to jump and shout and laugh and cry. It really shows that he was a perfectionist when it came to his work. It also showed what a wonderful humanitarian he was.
All I have to say is that May God Bless his children, family, and those that were close to him. If you do not like Michael, I guarantee it that you will end up loving him after watching this!!
You cannot "BEAT IT" because it is not that "BAD" because it is quite a "THRILLER" to have in your DVD collection to watch over and over.
Thanks to the family that let us see him one last time in this. I am so happy to have it in my collection!!
This is it?! THIS IS GREAT!! March 15, 2010
M. Williams (San Diego, CA United States)
"This it It" far exceeded my expectations! Michael proves that at fifty he was quite possibly as good of a performer if not better of a performer than he was at twenty. This was AWESOME and a must have for any fan!! There were plenty of innovative things he planned to do in the final concerts that would have been wonderful to see live. This movie made me wanna get up and dance!!
This is It! March 15, 2010
C. Resnick (White House, Tennessee USA)
A must for all MJ fans. Would have loved to attended this concert had he lived to provide it. Despite all the negativity of Michaels life, he was a brilliant performer. The way he looked in this video was a far cry from the horrible pictures seen on the tabloids. Rest in Peace Michael. I am so glad I have your videos and music to enjoy.
