In the first five days since the world-wide release of "This Is It," the movie has generated $101 million. Originally set to only have a 2-week run in theaters, it has now been extended through Thanksgiving domestically. The movie has received great reviews. In fact, rottentomatoes.com certified it as “fresh.”
Last weekend, I decided to go check out the movie and was amazed. Frankly, not really setting my expectations high, I went into the theater with a blank mind. The movie was two hours of pure entertainment. It was a compellation of footage from a series of rehearsals of “the big show” that showed a completely different side of “The King of Pop.” On stage, he was professional, respectful, and untiring. He knew more about his music than the lead musicians there. He knew more about his choreography than any choreographer or dancer there. He knew more about how he wanted the show to be carried out than any stage manager or producer there. When interviewed, everyone in each of the above categories seemed to agree with my observation. They had a level of respect for Jackson, as a performer and as a person that was impossible to hide.
I have to agree with the critics. The movie is an enjoyable experience, whether you were a huge fan of Michael, or just a fan of music and dance in general.
