483885, This Is It would have been one HELL of a show.

I mean, this film was gripping without the costume changes, without lighting cues, without MJ going all out. It would have been just INSANE to see this show. Just amazing production values all around.

As a documentary, This Is It is...okay. It was never really meant to see the light of day and because of it, a good deal of the footage is borderline unusable, and I'm not sure what a non-MJ fan would think of it.

But if you ARE an MJ fan? Forget it. It's gripping. It's amazing. It's just awesome to watch an absolute MASTER at work...commanding his vision, commanding the stage, and having what amounts to the greatest dancers in the world around him stand in awe of a 50 year old getting down like crazy. This Is It showed his personality in ways we hadn't really seen before, and that was awesome.

MJ at 50 >>>> your favorite performer.

RIP. This would have been an amazing concert.
