Michael Jackson's This Is It
Discover the Man You Never Knew
Michael Jackson's This Is It is a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the performer as he developed, created and rehearsed for his sold-out concerts at London's 02 Arena. Chronicling the months from April through June 2009, this film was produced with the full support of the Estate of Michael Jackson and drawn from more than one hundred hours of behind-the-scenes footage, featuring Jackson rehearsing a number of his songs for the show. In raw and candid detail, Michael Jackson's This Is It captures the singer, dancer, filmmaker, architect, creative genius and great artist at work as he creates and perfects his planned final London shows.

This film did have an unfinished feel which is understandeble since Michael died before the first concert was ever produced. The movie does leave you with wanting more and reminding you what could have been. The concert would have been amazing. Michael put a lot of work into it and is very talented. I wanted more but unfortunately that will never happen again.Unfinished - mxg123
This piece of work has an unfinished feel to it and it is to be understood since its main Star died before the first concert was ever produced. The other sad point is that it was never meant to be a full length documentary film, and so the final product fails to deliver on that note. This film leaves you with a unsatisfactory feeling, as when one does not completely enjoy an experience. I just wanted more, and got a lot less. This is not MJ fault, God bless his soul; it is just that all these film bits were meant for a private audience, and not for the general audience’s consumption. The film crew did their best considering the entire sitution. All I can add is that there must have been many disapointed artists who worked hard with MJ to make all this happen, and many disapointed fans which now can get a feel for what they might have scene on stage from MJ's This is it tour.A great compilation - Jenne
This is a great compilation of MJ's greatest hits and a backstage look into the making of what would have been his last tour ever. People have complained about the editing and the inconsistencies in MJ's outfits and whatnot but really, what did you guys expect? I certainly am glad it was edited like so because it gives the best clips of the rehearsals and cuts right to the chase rather than going through boring rehearsals over and over again.
If you are a fan of MJ, you will love this final glimpse. Also keep an eye out for Orianthi, his lead guitarist. This girl is a genius on her guitar and shreds with the best of them!
