Tout simplement magnifique Michael Jackson, toujours aussi talentueux, professionnel, naturel, juste MAGNIFIQUE. His music will live forever. I just can't stop loving you...

Spectacle grandiose mais musiciens, autres vocalistes & danseurs dépassent le "Star" de l'évennement = Show Is Better than Star
I ended up seeing "Michael Jackson's 'This Is It'" not by intention, but by acecident and circumstances. I resigned myself to a studious updating in my awareness of popular culture, in order not to make the experience a total waste. In the event, I found the filmed production of mixed interest, for me of only tepid interest, but probably a great show for Jackson's fans.

There is no doubt that much money, talent, and skill went into the preparations for this show that never opened or toured, due to Michael Jackson's precipitate death at age 50. The footage from films of rehearsals at various stages of preparation was assembled, providing continuity within constant changes of scenic assets, of costume and other garb, and so forth. For a man (or perhaps, given his rather merely humanoid weird looks and manners, one should say man-critter) of that age, he comes across as surprisingly spry, albeit his voice seems thin and worn. I would characterise his singing as all chirp, twitter, whimper, and whine, unable to sustain the musical line for the length of a long phrase, at soft rehearsal level or in public performance. Jackson's sheer musicianship and sense of timing, abetted by his keen rhythmic impulse, are extraordinary, however; he has his material, apparently, at least in essence, all his own, mastered to the last detail, for what he, the instrumentalists and back-up singers, and the dancers all do. As a trained musician myself (one who, among other things, has played as bassist in a soul group that, long ago, toured the world) and a keenly observant fan of skilled dancing, I can savour the sheer expertise of this production's filmed rehearsals.

The best element of the production is the dancing. Jackson himself moves with quick but arbitrary motions, too reliant on gimics of hip-thrusting, crotch-grabbing (at least, on this occasion, his own), and some steps on which his stage movements since longtime have relied rather formulaically. Too much of it, Jackson's and the chorus-line of mostly male dancers, amounts to mere wriggle-and-squirm, but the dancers acquit themselves excellently, given what they have to perform, and when the boys really have a chance to do show-dancing worthy of the name, they cover themselves in glory; best of all were some touches here and there of very virtuosic (and impressively acrobatic) breakdancing that I enjoyed and admired immensely and I only wish that there were more of that!

The big production numbers are effective, too. Here, at least, some acting on his part distracts from Jackson's spasmodic dancing, and the routines are clever and imaginative. I like best the sequence mimicking in a stylised way the glamour and antics of 1930s and 1940s gangster action films. Perhaps these production qualities and the excellent musicianship of it all make the extra features of a two-disc "collector's" edition or the enhanced qualities of the Blu-Ray edition worth it, but only, I would vouchsafe, for those who already are unconditional Michael Jackson fans. For others, this single DVD edition (or nothing of this at all) suffices.

If you like Jackson, you will love this one, I suppose. If you are not a True Believer in Jackson and Jacksomania (as I, cussedly and rather crabbily, am not), at least there are a few striking things and some good moments in this film. Two or three of the songs rise melodically above the noisy hum-drum of the rest of the compositional quality of the music itself, which, however, always is superbly arranged and executed.

EVIDEMENT SUPERBE
Evidement ce film ne peut pas plaire à tout le monde. Ceci dit, il est réservé aux fans qui apprécient vraiment Michael et non aux pauvres abrutis qui ne font que critiquer. J'ai été le voir, et sincèrement, c'est un superbe hommage. On y voit un Michael tout à fait différent avec un professionnalisme incroyable. Il est plutôt en forme contrairement aux rumeurs (même si c'est sûr qu'il ne nous ont pas tout montré, en même temps, ce n'était pas le but de ce film). Toujours un pas de danse impressionnent et une voix exceptionnelle. Je dirais juste, pour finir, allez le voir. Et m..de à ceux qui critique.

Il nous préparait un come back grandiose...
Je suis allée voir le film pour en avoir plein les oreilles une dernière fois et j'en suis ressortie la gorge nouée et des larmes aux yeux. Vous voulez voir du grand Jackson ? Je peux vous dire qu'il nous préparait un spectacle sublimissime : des clips revisités tels que Triller ou Smooth criminal, une musique au top bien sûr, et des chorégraphies magnifiques, sans parler des costumes et des effets spéciaux. Il faut d'ailleurs, au passage lancer un immense bravo aux artistes qui l'accompagnaient, danseurs, chanteurs, musiciens, ingénieurs,etc.etc. et qui donnaient tout ce qu'ils avaient pour être au niveau de Michaël Jackson, au top. Alors tout ça c'est sûrement un énorme coup marketing, mais je ne regrette pas d'avoir découvert le génie dans ses coulisses, il connaissait la moindre des notes de musique de ses chansons, faisait reprendre un air plusieurs fois jusqu'à la perfection, reprenait ses pas de danses jusqu'à la perfection...bref un travail de tous les instants mais également une reconnaissance pour tous ses artistes. C'est un génie qui nous a quitté...le film le dévoile un peu plus. Son retour aurait été grandiose !

a voir et revoir
Un documentaire de grande classe comme le protagoniste. Un artiste et humain ecceptionnel. En espèrant que ce film remette les choses à leurs places et que les polémiques cessent un peu. Et surtout que tout le monde comprenne le message. Nous sommes tous concernés. Ce sera la seule façon de remercier MJ pour tout ce qu'il nous a lègué.
MJ we love You to.
