I located and watched this on YouTube before deciding whether to buy it. Needless to say, I'm NOT going to buy it. I actually had trouble sleeping last night after viewing this, it just disturbed me and caused me such pain. It is extremely exploitative of Michael. Like ripping yet another fresh metaphoric wound into this sweet, private man's mind-body-soul. And into the human psyche of anyone watching it who cares about Michael, the human being. First part was a bit too long, but that was the part I enjoyed. Because the people being interviewed were not grinding axes into Michael's bones or betraying any confidences. But then, in a most obvious, awkward transition, the piece verges into Tabloid Junkie-land. There is a segment with flashes of "different faces" of Michael that reminded me of the trash media's "morphing faces" of Michael which...

Verhulsdonck (Amsterdam, Netherlands) - See all my reviews This review is from: Michael Jackson: The Life of an Icon [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray) Didn't enjoy this film. one half of it is so tabloidy. Rebbie Jackson implying he went too far with plastic surgery. Frank Cascio saying Michael gave himself a Demerol shot just before MSG. Paul Anka stating that MJ illegally stole and copied the TII demo tape and way too much time focused on the 2005 allegations and trial. Some of your highlights folks! So to all the MJ lovers out there.. don't waste your money on this. Supposedly David G is a friend, a friend would not come up with all this BS! 23 of 26 people found the following review helpful: Dont buy it, This review is from: Michael Jackson: The Life of an Icon [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray) How can a review of the 'greatest entertainer ever', a quote we hear endlessly on the 'documentary', contain virtually no footage of him performing live, no footage of his music videos, practically no interview footage with Michael. I don't think there was any footage of him performing after and including off the wall!? (his first solo album!) They talk about the legendary Motown 25th anniversary performance, and yet we have to put up with seeing still pictures from the performance. One of the only times we see Michael speak is during his congratulatory award speech, some meaningless award ceremony created by guest, only a little fragment of the speech is shown mind, and surprise surprise, it's the fragment where Michael thanks the 'wonderful' David Guest. David Guest is a disgrace. How dare this man use his supposed 'close friend' to make vast sums of money making a completely useless and lazy piece of TV. As the closing screen turns black Guest chooses the words 'rest good my... Read more |
