Being the documentary is so so late to the Michael Jackson Documentary Game.
Fortunately Spike Lee did 1979's "OFF THE WALL" Documentary & 1987's "BAD" Documentary. They both were released either with the CD or separately on MJ's website.
Anyway, I constantly wonder what goes through MJ's Estate Minds at times?
I am upset to see that Spike Lee didn't direct this "THRILLER 40" documentary?!?! He did such an incredible and amazing job with the others. Spike seemed to get better celebrities for interviews and way more behind the scenes footage.
Don't get me wrong, there is some high quality rare footage in this new documentary but not as much as I was expecting.
This Thriller Documentary went by way too fast and glossed over pivotal moments in my opinion.
Michael Jackson's Thriller is the best selling album of all time, I felt it deserved a more grandiose film with way more footage and coverage of the controversial 1984 Jackson's Tour and MJ's true final feeling about the album himself.
Also, none of his brothers appeared in the documentary! It was very odd.
But as a MJ FAN... I truly loved and appreciated it.
