I was skeptical about this film -- thought it'd be a PR move to absolve the concert promoters of responsibility in knowing that MJ was a drug addict, and probably an attempt to milk his devastated fans for every last drop of profit they could.
"This Is It" turned out, however, to be an amazing tribute to MJ, showing through rehearsal highlights and concert prep footage what would've been an incredible concert experience. MJ was very much in artistic control, showing off new (and sexy!) dance moves. He was thin but alert, focused, agile, and energetic.
The theater applauded at the end; no one wanted to leave. Thanks, Kenny Ortega, for this incredible gift to MJ's fans. We'll always love you, MJ.
