Last night I was finally able to watch Michael Jackson’s “This is it” movie. I had high expectations since most of my friends who watched it gave a lot of good reviews. In fact, some of them were really raving about the movie. Like a true MJ fanboy, I lined up at the theater in Promenade, Greenhills, and eagerly anticipated the show to start after I got to my seat with my girlfriend. Let me just take this opportunity to share some thoughts about the movie with you guys.
CONS
- MJ had really weird taste for clothes. In some of his performances, he was wearing orange pants! Haha!
- Some of the parts were dragging. Understandable though since there was only so much footage that they could work on for this movie.
- MJ with facial hair is creepy.
- He didn’t dance as well compared to his previous concerts but he definitely showed that 50 year olds can still put up one hell of a show!
PROS
- The Earth Song segment really got me. Almost shed a tear.
- I loved how MJ’s team tried to push everything to the limit. One of the scenes in the movie showed the costume designer explaining how he was working with fashion designers, scientists, and engineers for the various costumes of MJ. Talk about insane right?
- The sets and the pre-song videos were superb. I enjoyed the Thriller segment a lot.
- Lots of dancing! Even for a 50 y/o, MJ can still move quite well.
- The movie showed a very human and warm side to MJ.
- The last song, Man in the Mirror, just blew me away.
- MJ is not just a singer or a dancer, he’s one of the best performers this world has ever seen. He’s so professional, dedicated, and passionate with his craft! Truly inspiring!
I feel blessed to have watched this movie and get a glimpse of who Michael Jackson is beneath all the Hollywood glitter and glamor. To those who are MJ fans, you have to watch this. By the way, there’s a 30-40 second segment after the credits.
The biggest CON of all in this entire thing is that the concert didn’t push through. If it did I’m sure MJ would have revolutionized how entertainers do concerts once again.
