My headline above is confusing but makes sense. That's what you get here at celeb parasite...brilliant writing. Anyway, early reviews of the Michael Jackson movie, "This Is It" are good, but then again, when's the last time someone died before a movie released and all the critics said, "Yeah that movie sucked, I'm glad he's dead." Other than maybe Brandon Lee, but everyone preferred his father anyway. So here's what some sources are saying:
The USA Today newspaper said that while the film did not "restore Jackson to his past glory" it did "offer glimpses of his bygone greatness."
"The songs remind us that early this summer, the world lost a genuine, if genuinely troubled, star," the paper opined.
Melanie Hillman, a television producer who attended the Los Angeles premiere, said the movie had captured the imagination of the audience.
"Sometimes you were sitting in your seat like, 'wow.' People were crying, clapping, cheering," she told AFP.

I'm not sure why people would cry unless they were showing some previously unseen footage of what really happened at the Neverland Ranch, which is probably not the case. It's not like MJ could've done anything new and different, so I'll chalk this up to silly fans.
