I heard good things about the movie and went to see it on Saturday. While it's not Jackson at his best it does show that he did deserve the 'King of Pop' title. The fact that he can dance as well as the dancers that are half his age was quite amazing, and his voice is still strong. Plus he showed he knows his music. He knew what he wanted to hear from his musicians and usually what he wanted to hear sounded better than what the band wanted to do. Unfortunately his inability to use any musical terminology showed while he knows his music he lacked a knowledge of music in general. From what was being shown in the rehearsals the shows in London looked like they would have been spectacular and would have paved the road for a massive comeback for his career (I don't think it would have done anything to redeem his bizarre personal life), but I don't know if he could have done 50 shows (he was 50 years old), even if they were suppose to be only two shows per week.
