Michael Jackson's This Is It

Épuisant bonus long et brouillon pour un DVD inexistant avec un concert inexistant, promu comme une expérience en coulisses / concert incroyable en soirée. Michael Jackson était un musicien formidable et un danseur génial, mais ceci est un produit inachevé qui n'a ni structure ni forme. (04/11/2009)

The last adventure of the boy from Neverland didn't end as he wished, but I thank Ortega for allowing me to peek behind the final curtain. It was during this period that an unexpected moment came when I transitioned from respect to almost worship for the King, and to this day I believe that anyone who has ever listened to any of his songs must melt while watching. And that a shiver runs down one's spine exceptionally when listening to "They Don't Care About Us" or "Smooth Criminal". Moreover, it is very difficult to resist the enthusiasm that Michael's persona evokes, especially in moments when tough-looking dancers, who just moments ago were dancing on stage with a rough expression, suddenly stand below him, rewarding each gesture of their god with loud cheers. This charisma literally grounds you. Only a happy ending is not expected in this fairy tale about a famous comeback. So I can only say goodbye one last time. Goodbye. God bless you and heal the world. (05/11/2009)

Videos (it's not even appropriate to call them films) of this format should be an hour at most and certainly should never be sold (!) as the film event of the year. The camera aimed at the "stage" for almost two hours, but doesn't look under the lid even once. I understand the genuine love Michael had for his fans in preparing his show, and that it would be an absolutely fantastic and pompous spectacle. Yet the fact that someone is making a quarter of a billion dollars out of it raises the moral hairs on my back. Not to mention the intensity with which people pay forty bucks for Blu-rays. Sad.

This show must have been really something. For his age, Mike was really in great form and he prepared for his comeback really diligently. But this is still just a documentary and not a record of the live show. A crying shame. It could have been one of the events of the year. (27/12/2009)
