  The movie did show MJ as he really is. A perfectionist genious that still had the moves and voice. Its so sad he was taken away so soon. He was the best there will ever be, the wannabes now SUCK.

  ...and that it didn't come close to beating (shudder) Hannah Montanna, which made 30+ million in its opening weekend while This Is It took five days to get there??? Two major fact-check errors in a few short paragraphs. I'm gonna find me a new magazine to read.

  The movie shows a gentle MJ, who is at the same time a perfectionist. He was SO respectful of his crew, dancers- everyone. Even when he had to correct them it was done so softly and often w/ humor. He really loved them all and it was mutual. I can see why everyone that has worked with him has said he had no airs. That in itself is amazing. It would have been the most amazing concert. For those of you that never took the time to know MJ, do it now. Some thought he was odd, even a molester but the more I learn about him, I see the opposite. He was just a child in a man's body due to his sheltered (from the real world) lifestyle. He loved children in a pure way that so many in this corrupt world can understand. As for the movie- he was amazingly fit and wow, he sure could do those moves. Even when the dancers did the same moves and were excellent, no one on earth could do them as well as MJ- it was almost as if he were programmed or mechanical (in a good way) as his body moves were so timed and fluid. I walked out feeling sad but lifted. I think he would have been proud of the movie.
