Went to watch this video (albeit, a little unexpectedly) with my brother and sister yesterday and as much as I hate to say this but..... you just got to watch this!!! Don't matter if you are a fan of Michael Jackson or not (or heck, even if you don't f**king know him!!!) you just have to go watch it, even if you know you could just download this somewhere or already know what the movie is all about...... go watch it as a tribute to the great man himself, the king of pop....
Now I know I'm not that much of a fan of MJ compared to my brother or sister (both of them went to the concert that was in Malaysia a few years back) but after watching Michael Jackson's This Is It I'm convinced that maybe I should probably drop my ignorance and actually appreciate his music a little more. Anyway, if you didn't already know the movie was basically just a documentary of MJ doing some rehearsals before performing This Is It live concert in London. Sadly though, he passed away just a few weeks before the first concert was supposed to be performed and somehow only the people working with him on the rehearsal were the only people who managed to see his last performance.
Don't know how to actually describe the movie (or documentary) but it is interesting to see his on stage performance in different perspective. As well as performing some of his most well known songs (too many to list down, but you would probably know what the songs were) there were some insight of how everything was being prepared, from the choreograph to how the stage was prepared, the costumes, etc. Its amazing how much work they actually put into this just so the fans could witness what is probably be MJ's last ever concert.
Enough about me talking about it though, its no point talking about it unless you actually go and watch it. Trust me, its worth the time and money to see this once in a lifetime movie. Its gonna be aired only for 2 weeks (starting from October 29th) in theaters so do go watch it if you have the time. In conclusion I'll probably rate this movie an 8/10. Sure it is not as perfect as I would like it but you just have to witness the awesomeness that is "The King".....
