Thriller 40

I expected a mediocre retelling of the success of "Thriller", a sort of a cash cow, but what I got to see was (pun intended) actually really thrilling. Goosebumps from start till finish.

The good: this album still is such BLISS to listen to some 40 years later! What is especially great about this documentary is that we get to hear snippets of the demos of "Thriller", which sounded awesome already, with merely hearing Michael Jackson's voice solo. What power.

Back in time. Back to the eighties. Back to one of the greatest classics. Back to music heaven!

Recommended watch for any fans of the "Thriller" album!

Looove this documentary so much.. firstly the amazing and beautiful never before seen interviews and footage of Michael as he creates the biggest selling album of all time is worth watching this documentary...from stunning footage of the victory tour to Michael recording the girl is mine with Paul McCartney we final get a glimpsed into the making of the greatest selling album .. a must watch for everyone The only negative is they Should of just had more footage of Michael instead of people talking about him.. beautifully showed the magic of Michael and why he is so loved !!!.. We love u more Michael...

The album Thriller has a special place in my heart and this has probably to do with the fact that like everyone who happened to live in the last few decades of the 20th century, the album would hold a deeper meaning. For those that grew and lived during this time period, little did we anticipate that this album would continue to remain popular well into 21st century and we would still be enjoying this album as we become older and greyer. What's more interesting is that the current generation are enjoying this masterpiece and this will hopefully be the trend in the decades to follow. Big up to the mastermind.

A very good documentary that I wished was even longer. Michael Jackson was a genius and still this day, the Thriller album still remains the greatest and most iconic album ever.

One of the things I loved about the documentary were the rare clips that included the making of the videos and the ones from the Victory Tour in great quality. I hope his estate releases them for Michael Jackson fans and the rest of the public to see in general.

The current generation of artists and fans also need to watch this documentary to see how iconic the Thriller era was and how legendary Michael Jackson was and is still is as an artist. It was well done.

It is a good documentary with some footage I have never seen taken from the archives which was nice especially some thriller footage. I also enjoyed John Landis giving deeper insight into the making of thriller which I loved.

There was some reused footage and also some of the same celebrities giving their interviews I have seen before eg usher.

I think the documentary was lacking a little bit in regards of showing some candid video footage of Michael Jackson himself. I would of loved to see some unreleased footage of himself maybe giving deeper insight into the music but it was pretty top level info we have all seen before.

Overall I did enjoy it as any Michael fan will. But in terms of directing of this documentary it could of been better I have watched other recent music documentaries that are far better than this as an example the story telling of Mili Vanilli documentary was fantastic.
