I decided to give a review to the movie “This Is It” from Michael Jackson. I would like to start by saying that this movie was long but it would of have been a wonderful concert if MJ was still with us.

The movie was 2 hours and minutes long and I went to see it on October 28th, 2009 at 9:30pm, by the way my baby came with me.

The movie shows the rehearsal from some of the songs, I’ve heard that he was supposed to sing 25 songs but in the movie they only show 10 if I’m not mistaken.

A part of the new Thriller video is shown and it looks awesome! I’m not 100% sure if the video was recorded till the end, but if it was I hope it is released to the public.

I’m not going to go into details because I know a lot of people would like to go see it and I don’t want to spoil it.

Overall this movie is fully recommended by so many people! And you can obtain the CDs and DVDs from Amazon by pre-ordering them at the following links (DVD),(CDs)
