Review of This Is It (2009) by Stevek — 13 Nov 2009

I would say my opinion is right in line with Marc A. (near the top here). I'll add that I was a fan long ago, I defended Michael's weirdness until it became too ugly (at least the public's view).

And I abandoned him - could not even listen to his music I had loved soo much. But at this point, after the purging via his passing, and with this movie - I am back with a vengenance. Michael's soul is wherever he believed it would go - the sins are accounted for.

Now I, we fans, are free to fully enjoy this incredibly well done movie, of an incredibly well designed show, acted out by an incredibly talented back up staff led by the quintessenial pop artist of our time.

With soul, and heart. And to think, they were on track to redo these old classics, and make them even better - who would ever believe that was possible. As for the 0 raters - obviously haters, who have no place commenting here.

It has always been my feeling that the first question should be do you even understand what you are rating - (like this is a movie of a rehersal - not a trial of Michael's moral or rational failings) - pass that, then have an opinion.

And don't review Transformers when you were expecting Hamlet.
