Michael Jackson – The Life & Times Of The King Of Pop: 1958 – 2009 (2009/RockCity/MVD DVD)

 

Picture: C-     Sound: C     Extras: D     Main Program: C

 

 

The sad thing about Michael Jackson – The Life & Times Of The King Of Pop: 1958 – 2009 (2009) is that someone did their research and figured out what some of the better footage would be to put together for a chronological release on the late Pop singer.  Unfortunately, the footage is not in the best of shape and is not presented in any particularly effective way.  This is a good idea done poorly, but reminds us that Sony/Epic should have issued.  This is a poor substitute and even diehard fans may have trouble with it.

 

The 1.33 X 1 image offers various aspect ratios, some of which are so awkward that they are just sloppy.  The image is very poor throughout with what often looks like bad, ultra-low quality, noisy, internet-weak downloads.  This is one of the poorest-looking music DVD releases I have seen in a while.  The Dolby Digital 2.0 Stereo is almost as weak, often harsh and highly problematic throughout.  There are no extras.
