Watched it last night. Good and positive docu, but it's not perfect either. For one, Dangerous era is totally overlooked. Totally. No word about it at all. There is some small mention of HIStory ("it was an angry album, MJ letting out his frustration about the allegations") and that's it and some little word about Invincible.
I say it just as constructive criticism for future docus. Apparently there is an e-mail among the leaked Sony e-mails talking about a possible MJ documentary in the American Masters series (
http://www.mjjcommunity.com/forum/threads/135550-American-Masters-Michael-Jackson ). So if they are going to do it, these are the things they need to pay attention to IMO. I get it that the most popular era of MJ was the 80s. But that's exatly why I think showcasing his 90s stuff in a serious manner in depth would open a lot of eyes and it could offer perhaps more new things to most people than the 1000th Thriller-heavy documentary with the already well-known stories over and over again. I'm sure Brad Sundberg and other contributors during those eras would be happy to offer info.
And another overlooked era is the Jacksons era. Especially Destiny and Triumph needs to be showcased a bit more. So I hope if they make another docu they will take it on themselves to showcase those criminally overlooked eras as well.
Well, Michael's career is actually so big and so diverse that a serious, in-depth documentary could easily have 3-4 parts.
