  A movie clearly done for Michael Jackson fans who will thrill to his every move and gesture, but also an unprecedented and candid look behind the curtain at the amount of hard work and sweat that goes into staging such an enormous stage spectacle.

  Even the cynics, seeing Jacksons joy in performance in the film, can be assured that this footage really did deserve to be seen in public. Its a blatant cash grab by everyone involved, of course. But despite its shaggy and rushed nature, its also an unlikely and honest account of a life that I know now was cut far too short.
