Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review 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 rumours 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

It also demonstrated his excellent working relationship with his support teams. MJ's- This Is It July 29, 2010 SamP MJ is a legend and enjoyed seeing his final footage to a show that was never meant to be. A must see for MJ fans. "this is it" michael jackson July 27, 2010 MAGS (ENGLAND) first class d.v.d, recommend any michael jackson fans to buy it now! fantastic service from amazon as usual!! A tragedy. July 17, 2010 K. M. Pearce (Peterborough, UK) I've been a half-hearted Michael Jackson fan for years and was, like millions of others, saddened by his death. I didn't realise just HOW talented he was until I bought this DVD for my daughter for her 19th birthday. From the start we (that's the whole family from 52 year old disinterested husband to 15 year old 'never get excited about anything' son) absolutely mesmerised. Michael Jackson's talent is truly amazing; there's no doubt of that. But it's his humility, good nature and mild manners that really get you. Here's a guy who's a true genius and he didn't seem to know it. This is one of the most moving DVDs I've seen and leaves you quite disturbed that he should have died so young. dvd July 12, 2010 Michael Fitzpatrick (glasgow) son became interested in him he thought this was great and was cheaper than the shops Showing reviews 1-5 of 113 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...23 Next »
