Setting aside my feelings on the tour, I can understand omitting Victory Tour footage from a documentary that is (ostensibly) about the making of the Thriller album. Not only did that tour occur two years later, but it wasn’t even designed to promote Thriller; it started months after the album cycle had ended. Sure, it’s cool, but what purpose does it serve other than “hey that’s neat”? I’d rather they spend the run time on actually exploring the album.

Of course, I haven’t watched the doc yet, so maybe the rest of it isn’t worth the time either.
 
My Thoughts.

The Documentary is great. But only shows the influence it had to the world and not the way it was built.
Sonic Fantasy is the right documentary for you if you want to see the building process.
In my opinion watch those two documentaries back to back. It's a great experience!
 
for the ones who had already seen it (I'll be watching it on MTV at 10 PM tonight,I guess),how many minutes of pure concert footage is there?
which songs were showed and how long did those snippets last,nonetheless?
 
Just finished watching it and here’s my review:

I would give it 3,5/5 stars myself. The unseen footage is wonderful, as was to be expected. I thoroughly enjoyed the Victory Tour footage, the behind the scenes of the Beat It short and the Thriller short, as well as the The Girl Is Mine studio footage. The quality of the studio footage was not great, but it was very nice and unique to see it.

I did not have a problem with the structure of the documentary. I didn’t have the feeling that it was going in the track-by-track direction at the start, and that it got confusing after, as Damien Shields has opined. It mostly goes in chronological order throughout. Only at the end it gets confusing because they mention the Grammy’s before the Victory Tour, and then after the Victory Tour again.

Many of the people in the documentary had a reason to be there, and it made sense to see them, the others I did not really mind seeing, even though their opinions were somewhat irrelevant.
My biggest problem is the fact that they mixed footage which is in pristine quality with YouTube footage, some with the logo of the YouTube channel on it. This I will never understand. When you have the resources and the footage available to you, how can you be so lazy and use footage found online which is in poor quality? Unbelievable.

I also felt like they could have gone way more in depth, if they really wanted to. There are enough stories which were not mentioned and for me personally, there was no new information which blew me away. Regardless, it is great to have a positive documentary coming out on Michael, which puts the focus where it belongs: on the art.
All in all, this is somewhat better than the Off The Wall documentary, but still not as good as Bad 25, in my eyes.
 
I'm seeing him do that tap dance move he does in Smooth Criminal and a lot of the BOW video on the Victory Tour, can't believe it.

Makes me realise how much we still haven't seen, I would have guessed he hadn't done that move till 87 in the SC video.

Of course you can be excited, I just don't want you to get anxious for it (the bad part of being anxious, ofc).

It's kinda hard to be anxious with the mj estate. They don't ever give us nothing so when they do...I appreciate it. Even tho I haven't got home to watch it...its alot of negative reviews here. So... I'll see. Still can't wait tho.
