Early reviews of the concert film/documentary Michael Jackson: This Is It have been positively glowing—but that is no surprise since the opening night audiences were packed with Jackson devotees and mourners.
Plus, under the circumstances, giving the film a negative review would be akin to booing at a funeral.
However, regardless of your feelings toward Jackson, his personal controversies or even his music, this actually sounds like an entertaining film and we can prove it with three words: giant mechanical spider.
That’s right, early reports and reviews of Michael Jackson: This Is It indicate that among other things, Jackson’s planned 50-night stand at London’s O2 Arena would’ve included the gloved star making an entrance in a giant mechanical spider.
(We’re imagining something like spider in the box office nightmare of Will Smith’s Wild Wild West, but maybe we’ll have to see the MJ film to find out for sure.)
The other big feature of the O2 concerts? A massive 3D film to accompany “Thriller.”
Hmm…that makes us wonder if Michael Jackson: This Is It will follow the path of many popular flicks lately and get re-released in a few months as a full on 3D concert film?
Better start lining up now.
