Customer Reviews
Great production, what a genius!Review by MAURICIO CUERVO, 2010-08-30
This video was created from a series of rehearsals for the last concert that MJ was planning to do in London for 1 year (~50 concerts).
I can summarize this as simply AMAZING! I would have loved to be in his concert. What a genius MJ was.
I loved every moment of that video. It is fantastic. I highly recommend it.

You should really see this. It shows how hard working he really was and of course, his creativity.
MJ's Final Performance
Review by Barbara Bassham, 2010-08-25
I received a used copy of Michael Jackson's "This Is It" and couldn't be more pleased. It's in perfect condition and was very pleased with the price. Thanks, Amazon, for being there!!
interesting but disappointing
Review by Caraculiambro, 2010-08-21
I wasn't sure what this was before buying it. It turned out to be a compilation of footage of rehearsal sessions, sound checks, dress rehearsals, etc. for the big London concert that was never to be. Obviously they didn't know MJ was gonna die when they shot this. The quality of the footage varies. Were they intending to release this before he died, or was this footage meant until then for internal consumption only?
I admit it's an interesting, though sanitized, look at what goes on behind the scenes during the preparation for a show like this.
But what disappointed me was that Michael's voice was shot. His dancing was also lackluster. Even the most unremarkable of his back-up stage dancers, could have totally killed him. The guy was about 50 when this was shot, and this film makes it obvious he shouldn't have been singing and dancing that way anymore (noticeable and repeated breakings of his voice).
Plus, the choreography for the songs themselves was a major let-down, with a couple of exceptions (e.g., "Thriller"). Was that really what they were doing to do with "Billie Jean"? Wow. And for "Beat It"? That's all they could come up with?
This Is It Video
Review by Ben Thurston, 2010-08-19
Excellent value for blu-ray disc! Product arrived quickly and in excellent condition. The video itself is great! Michael Jackson was a genious in the preparations and directions for this documentary.
