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 rumors 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.

Smith (Madera, Ca USA) This was yet another great purchase through Amazon. The item received was as advertised, and arrived in a timely fashion. Michael's Last Dance   March 9, 2010 Lola (Florida) I am a huge Michael Jackson fan, so his death has had quite an effect on me. It is as if a my childhood was officially buried with him. I was torn about going to see This Is It in the theatre. I felt as if it was too soon and all about money, not quite the tribute Michael deserved. After all with all the tours Michael Jackson went on he never released a substantial amount of behind the scenes footage. I think he always liked to keep the illusion alive. Anyway I gave in to my own curiousity and I must say I was mixed with emotion. It was fascinating to see how much of a perfectionist he was and what dedication went into his perfomances. At the same time it saddened me that this really was it. I would never have the priviledge again, to see him in his element, on stage. I hold onto those great memories I have of seeing him on the Bad Tour and with the Jackson Five in the seventies. This is It, is a must have for everyone that has been touched by Michael Jackson's music. Even if you are not familiar with him, or were not fortunate enough to see him live, this is a dvd you should add to your collection. Great!!   March 9, 2010 V. Lindo Thompson (CT, USA) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful This was a nice look at the behind-the-scenes happenings and showed what a respectful person and hard worker Michael Jackson was. It would have been great to see this show in its final form. Hawaiian Shout Out   March 9, 2010 MXCD-ROMOS 1 out of 1 found this review helpful NOW at least you have a High Definition Blu-Ray version of this extraordinary entertainer that is no longer with us. The amount of attention Michael devotes to detail, color, moves, music, dance, story telling plus the bonus that this whole production was an out growth of his wanting to leave a legacy to his 3 children on his tour capabilities, will leave you absolutely breathless. He was indeed a ONE of a kind legend in his own time. There's lots of bonus materials on the life, hits, music videos and achievements of Michael Jackson including those that were not a part of the original 2009 movie theater performance on the BD format. Also last but not least, the 5.1 surround sound will give your entertainment center a real workout and then some. Great DVD, Excellent Customer Service   March 8, 2010 Dale A. Gulden (Florida) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful This was a wonderful experience, I knew when the mailman had it out to deliver to my mailbox - so cool Showing reviews 1-5 of 464 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...93Next » Bestsellers in Toys & Games Buy With Confidence Secure Checkout by Amazon.com Your order is secure and backed by Amazon's A-to-Z Guarantee which guarantees your purchase, the condition of the item you buy, and its timely delivery.
