"It looks like it was quickly thrown together so someone could make a few bucks. You learn nothing from it that you couldn't find out from reading wikipedia and it plays none of his music. The clips are not good quality either."
Waste of time and money-unauthorized and uninteresting

"I do not have time to say much but I felt I had to protect fans such as myself from buying JUNK. Michael is unquestionably the GREATEST ENTERTAINER that ever lived, But he was human and had faults and limitation "outside of the entertainment" world. He was used and exployed by managers, friends and SONY. But this video was fluff with NO NEW CONTACT and contained no new information or insight into Michael or his world. It was clearly an attempt to quickly put together. with no budget, a collection of old news photos and even some said "video taken by a fan". They should allow ZERO STARS for juck like this."
Not Great

"Thankfully, this video didn't cost much. There were a few segments that I was glad to have. But it was obviously thrown together in a hurry and the editing was horrible. The narrator's comments frequently didn't match the pictures or video clip. They would show a picture or video clip that was not the same time period the narrator was speaking about. Not well done."
Don't Buy

"Bought it for $4.99 from Best Buy thinking it was a bargain. Not a single Michael Jackson song played in the movie. Performances are accompanied by some background music rather than the song being shown. It is more of a narration of Michael Jackon's life history."
Grainy News Footage, no music, no music video.

"Easily the biggest piece of exploitive junk video ever made about Michael Jackson. This brief video contains no music or music video from Michael Jackson, I repeat none, its a cobbed together mess of public domain news clippings with a C-List booth announcer (think cleaning-product commercials) droning on about facts everyone in the planet already knows about Michael Jackson. A piece of utter video junk."
