Going to see it on Friday, saddened but I can't wait. I was supposed to be going to his concert on July 14th just 3 weeks after he died.

Also how much are they?

I don't really have any interest in seeing it. I'm sick of hearing about it. Even one of my mate's, who is a huge Michael Jackson fan doesn't want to see it. She thinks it's a bit too morbid.

I agree with you on that, when I passed by a cinema in dublin the other day I seen the poster for MJ, I thought they were going to show all his music videos on the big screen and I would have paid for that!

But I am not sure if I would like to see 'what could have been' as opposed to something that already happened (music videos from 80s 90s) in my lifetime.

I am a huge MJ fan but I feel it has all got very tacky and elvis like for me.

It is more out of curiosity than anything else that would make me pay into watch it...

Seen it today and to be honest i can understand why some people wouldnt want to see it but I just had to see it.
Very tragic but for me it was amazing to see the man still had it.Looked painfully thin though.I honestly don't know how the organisers thought he was gonna be able to pull off 50 dates when he was that frail to begin with.

There was nothing weird about MJ in this movie. He was very humble, and respectful to everyone. If other artists today put as much thought and care into their work today as MJ did in this movie, then music today would be a whole lot better.

So LOVE, the concept by which people form meaningful relationships, get married, have children so the world keeps going around is weird? Maybe you would have liked it better if he said "with hate", "I hate you"? There are so many problems in todays world why not spread the love?

Actually your right. Love. Rubbish. Obviously the guy was TOTALLY nuts!

Like his LOVE for children!!!
Do you ask people you work with to do something and then say i do that with love L O V E, no because they'd all think you were W E I R D and a bit creepy!

The guy was totally nuts! as i said he wasnt called Wacko Jacko for nothing.

Well Fink, I have not seen the movie so I can not comment, but can i ask why would you pay in to watch a weird, strange, cringeworthy guy :-)

(unless you got free tickets or something...)

They should just exhume his corpse then make him into a marionette & take him on tour at this stage.

ure goin off the topic guys..
i saw it and he has amazing understanding of beats and tempos etc...he was still well able to sing and still unreal at dancing. people slag him off on net sayin he wasnt trying hard enough dancing and doin moves in rehearsal. But it called marking...marking the moves.. he 50 for god sake..the billy jean bit in film was amazing, all his dancers cheering him on when he dancing solo. The world will never have as good an icon ever again. he came into music at exactly the right time, and was responsible for some great music and videos. i thought the film was great and the stage show and effects would have been amazing. my one regret in life is that i never got to see him live.
