**"This Is It" is a wonderful tribute to one of the most innovative and original musical legends of all time.
You will only like this movie if you like Michael Jackson and his music. This is basically a theatrical version of his concert he was planning. The show is put on with footage shot during his Los Angeles rehearsals. In between songs, they did show a few behind the scenes moments.
There were some great things filmed for the concert including an all new zombie and ghost sequence for Thriller. I really liked this and there are many homages to Disneyland's "Haunted Mansion" in it.
There is one segment where the filmmakers profile the lead guitarist. She was incredible. It was the best display of guitar playing I have ever seen.
It was a real treat to see Michael Jackson in this light. He is doing what makes him comfortable. He is not his usual shy self. He knows what he wants and he gets what he wants done. "This Is It" is a perfect way to say goodbye to a legend.
B I recommend it.
