unreal!!! - Sarah

I wasnt sure if I would like this film/documentary. but this is an amazing piece of film, with a wonderful insight in to the final few days of the King of Pop. Micheal Jackson was not only a music genius, but also an amazing human being. the way he treated the people he worked with and the amount of work he put into the show himself shows his determination more ...

One of the greatest film and story told. - Patricia

This is one of the greatest story told. A man reach back for a song he wrote in the 70's and name his concert in 2009. It was truly it and truly one of the best films I have ever seen.

emotional but amazing! - Roisin

A perfect way to remember the king of pop, this certainly was it! I was too young to grow up with his music but of course I have heard all of his hits and this movie was still brilliant to me. 5 stars, if you haven't seen it already, (where have you been?) go to your nearest cinema NOW! more ...

Wow! That was it! - Debbie

The footage meant more to me as I watched with the knowledge that he would no longer be able to offer his talents to the millions that loved him. I have been to see this twice, and still feel that I could watch it many more times..... I've been living in the hope that all of the allegations against him were wrong. After seeing these performances, and the more ...

This is It - Yvonne

I went to see This is It last night and I have to say it is very good indeed. I was a massive fan of Michael Jackson and am still upset at the loss of such a legendary entertainer. There really was something about MJ that will be never be found again. It brought a tear to my eye but it brought a smile to see that he still had it at 50 years of age. The more ...

must-see - isalap

You finally see this great genius at work. The music is excellent and inevitably gets you, yes; But ultimately, you get a VIP pass to all it takes to build what would have been simply the best concert ever. Michael was a hard worker, a perfectionnist, and was still in such a shape, both physically and vocally. This film will give him back some of the more ...

This is It is for all MJ fans - Jayne

This Is It is certainly "it" if you are a Michael Jackson fan and grew up with his music, as I did in the 1970's. As most commentators have noted, this is not really a film, just a series of footage showing rehearsals for a concert that never was (alas). Once you get past all the fawning from the various dancers etc, This Is It is toe-tapping and more ...

Overall - Loved this Movie/Documentary - fred

This is sh*t? - Patrickk

I was excited to see it, however it let me down. It was just the concert things, I was expecting some talk of his death, but no. Just him. I know people love him but I didn't like it. There was too little songs, but the concert would have been unreal live. more ...

This Is It - after thoughts to seeing the film - CL

This Is It filming was a preparation for a live performance and the intentions behind it does have a purpose: 1)- Michael wanted to convey awareness messages to people around the world, to ushering constructive change & harmony with all of life. 2)- He wanted to dedicate sharing his talent with his children. After watching this special glimps film with more ...

Fantastic!!! Stay through the credits. - Carol

I saw the movie and although I hadn't purchased any MJ music since Thriller, I totally loved the movie. Did you really expect him to be what he was 15 years ago. Don't forget that his autopsy showed a chronic lung infection. He sang like an angel with a good, strong voice and his moves were starting to come back. This was a rehearsal people, not a more ...

Spectacular - Tyra

I saw the Movie Tuesday night and was simply blown away at the talent this man still had. Michael didn't miss a beat.He still at 50 gave his 20 year old dancers a go for their money when he out danced them. As fans we needed to see this film to see that the media basically made MJ out to be a self indulging drug addict.The movie gives you another more ...

This is it.......amazing professional...a wonder - Mig

I have much about Micahel lately including some factual books such as Redemption and Conspiracy-legal aspects of the accusations. The DA was the calalyst for the downfall of MJ.........I was truly stunned by his voice and musicianship. My husband also said he was truly amazed and would like to see it again. Kenny Ortaga showed MJ is the best possible way, more ...

HEART STIRRING, OUTSTANDING, MOVING! - RACHEL_USA

What a beautiful and moving close up look at Michael, crafting the most extraordinary show any entertainer could ever imagine. I'm blown away by how big this show was going to be, and how much thought he put into it. The dancing, the feeling, the glam. That is what Michael is about. He connects to you at the HEART. He looked so good, so ON, and the talent more ...

THIS IS IT - Brilliant as a Money-Making Machine; Not as a Movie - Jason O' Mahony

From Thriller, to Bad, to Dangerous, to baboon poo crazy, Michael Jackson went from being the most brilliant performer on the planet to being the oddest. From the largest selling album of all time, to the most groundbreaking music videos ever created, to rumours in the press, to court cases taken by alleged victims, the self styled King of Pop, led a life more ...

I have always stood by my favorite movies. I was so excited to go see Michael Jacksons "this is it". But I never realized, EVER, that I would love it as much as I did.

What Might have been! - The Reeldeal

As an ardent fan of MJ and someone who has seen him 3 times live in concert, naturally I was not going to miss this. I have to say though, having seen it twice, I tend to agree with the reviewer. Yes the movie shows that you never lose raw talent and that like Elvis' voice, Michael still had his moves right up to the end. It also shows what spectacular more ...

This is my Second comment: re: the repeated dries for 'Still wanting More'! - bodhicroan

I am with you. But, think about it. 44+ years of writing songs; envisioning the entire'w /detail productions of 'How Many'-Concerts, Tours, Films andalbums. Plus, All, at 'above the reach of any performers/creators ,current ability'; whilst being a relentless activist for human rights and 'peace and social justice'.

Amazing - This was more than just - Annie J

I went to see this last night, and while not a "screaming or obsessed" fan, loved it for the insight that it gave into both the performer and the amount of work and effort that was going in to making what would have been the most incredible run of concerts ever. What clearly showed through was Michaels love of music, performance and life. I had to more ...

Fantastic!!! Stay through the credits. - Carol

I was so amazed that there were so many people with children there. I thought they might be disruptive. As soon as "This is It" started, you could have heard a pin drop. There were some cries of You Rock, Michael and that type of thing, all from adults. He was wonderful at the rehearsals. We've really lost the most creative genius the more ...

I was amazed at how this was put together. You saw the human being side of Michael, his unbelievable dancing talent, his amazing voice, pure enjoyment.

He still had IT. - dmalmos

While I kept longing to see the final productions of each performance, there is much there that demonstrates that this would have been the best performance of his lifetime. Anyone who has worked behind the scenes of any production would enjoy this inside look at how much attention MJ gave to each detail. It was his genius that created the connection, far more ...

It wasn't what I expected, it was almost as good as being at a live concert.

What a musical genius! Definitely worth the your time to go!! more ...

Great Insight into the King of Pop - Martin

From the start of this movie you get a feeling that Michael Jackson was a real hard worker. Throughout the movie you can see the physical toil of what they do to make a great show. But you can also see the love of music Michael Jackson had. With each song he worked harder and harder to get it right. Song after song his performance was better and better. The more ...

I attended a prescreening of the movie. The audience was not unlike that of a live concert. There were cheers after songs; there was singing, dancing, it was truly a celebration.

I saw one review that sounded disappointed in the movie because there was no footage of anything other than reherssal for the show. That was what it was supposed to be.

I saw the premiere last night and it was bitter sweet. I always thought Michael was a sweet soul and this documentary confirmed it. He worked hard and loved hard. MJ loved his fans and his music.

The one and only Michael Jackson - John K

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. There can never be another dancer Like MJ. He was truly the best.
