MJ's film "This Is It" premiered with a bang, but it was followed by a flood of bad reviews. It seems that what Sony has made in such a short period of time really can't convince MJ fans.

Remember, the mouth of the American media will always stink.
The newspaper USA TODAY wrote on the front page of its life page on October 26:

The Jackson movie, a "music mosaic".

It said: "The Michael Jackson movie is called 'That's it.' But there are a lot of fans asking: 'What the hell is that?' A movie is more of a random patchwork of scenes."

Kenny Ortega, the director of the "High School Musical" series and Jackson's choreographer and set designer, said: "I just wanted to combine the documentary and the music. It's going to be integrated into a whole movie, but it's never either. I told Sony not to make it a concert because we didn't have a concert and we had three weeks of rehearsals. Although the rehearsal is not a performance, Michael worked so hard to rehearse on the stage, but he was faced with 18,000 empty seats. The movie can't save Michael, but I want to let everyone see that he is the most active on the stage through this movie. side."

Although the director himself admitted that the whole film is just editing and piecing together, but he has tried his best. Who can turn a messy rehearsal into a real show?

So please calm down the fans of MJ. If you really love him, you don't care about the 111-minute "music mosaic" in order to see him again.
