Many fans of Michael Jackson will readily admit that his last 15 years or so were a far cry off from his glory days, and that he was never the same ever since falling from grace.

Clearly, Jackson’s lifestyle and success brought him a lot of stress that anyone would have a hard time handling. He became secluded and shut himself out from the world, granting sparse media access and producing very little new music.

Jackson made his best music in his teens and his 20s, and his songs are still some of the most popular in the world. Regardless of his final years, he’s left a legacy behind that very few people in music ever have.

Regardless of the case, Michael Jackson’s ‘Is This It’ was a movie that I went into with low expectations. I was always waiting for that one MJ revival, and it was so unfortunate to see his tragic ending, as he left us at such a young age.

I was expecting a sappy movie that played into his issues, with a lot of it covered up by the movie makers and everything else. I was wrong though, and many who’ve seen the movie will probably tell you the very same thing.

Jackson was a natural born performer, and regardless of his usual physical state, a different Jackson came out while he was on stage during these rehearsal sessions. It was very interesting to see such a transformation.

Not only were his vocals great, but he danced like he was 30, despite his age of 50 years. He showed charisma, and more energy on stage than you would ever expect when you consider his otherwise weak physical state.

This was an exceptional movie, as real as it gets. No Hollywood effects, simply real footage of the King of Pop during his final performance. I’d highly recommend this movie to just about anyone.
