Two hours of genius - By: J. Coyle, 02 Jun 2007
From start to finish virtually every film is breathtaking. Particular highlights, though, for dance fans are Billie Jean from Motown 25; the gravity defying moves of Smooth Criminal; the stunning 1995 MTV Awards; Scream and, of course, Thriller & Beat It.
However, one of my other favourites is Blood on the Dance Floor. Unlike other reviewers I love the Refugee Camp remix & there's something different about Jacksonin this video (and I'm not talking about the cosmetic surgery!) He looks better for not being stick thin, he looks more relaxed & the video oozes slinkiness!
The drumming on They Don't Care About Us is hypnotic while Strangerin Moscow is a stylish, touching filmin which Jackson takes more of a back seat. The only clip I don't like is Liberian Girl - it feels dated.
Also there is a lack of informationin the DVD case itself - it's very basic.

Re-discover Michael Jackson! Incredible sound and picture! - By: steven, 17 Jan 2007
This DVD is great! The sound is superb whether you're listening via sorround sound or on a normal TV. The videos are timeless. With a new album out this year there's never been a better time to re-discover his music! The opening is a 4 min video where soldiers & the public run towards a huge statue of Michael. It's a great video, the crowd is so large it makes me wonder how they shot it. Then one video after another, including the uncut version of Thriller (like the first History DVD) & the most expensive music video of all time Scream. The MTV performamce is mostly the song Dangerous but it's a great piece of music history. The performance is over 12 mins long & it does include alot of Michaels famous songs. The Billie Jean opener is amazing, the first time the world saw the moonwalk. I stopped likeing Michael jackson for years & ordered this on a whim. Jermaine (Michael's brother)wasin the big brother house, within a few minutes I was a fan again. These videos draw youin & keep you coming back to them.

I won't list the videos as they're already listed elsewhere but this is

Highly Recommended (as is part one) You won't be disapointed.

The King Of Pop Lives On! - By: , 23 Apr 2005
This is one of these DVD's where you have to flip sides of the disc. So you know what's on which side, here is the tracklisting:

SIDE 1:
Teaser
Billie Jean (from Motown 25: Yesterday, Today & Forever)
Beat It
Liberian Girl
Smooth Criminal
1995 MTV Video Music Awards Performance
Thriller

SIDE 2:
Scream (Vocal Duet with Michael Jackson, & Janet Jackson)
Childhood (Theme from "Free Willy 2")
You Are Not Alone
Earth Song
They Don't Care About Us
Stranger In Moscow
Blood On The Dance Floor (Refugee Camp Mix)
Brace Yourself
Credits

The best side is Side 1. The MTV performance is great but I don't know why everyone calls it the Dangerous performance. I don't like the way they have replaced Blood On The Dance Floor with a Refugee Camp Mix of it. Also, the orginal video has the MJ Megaremix while the DVD doesn't & I like the Megaremix better than any of the songs on this DVD. Also, I would have liked the prison version of They Don't Care About Us & the Tony Moran Remix of HIStory on the DVD. If you like the King of Pop or his music videos, buy this DVD!

I Love This So Much!!! - By: , 18 Dec 2004
Well, this is so much better than HIStory Vol. 1!!! I love the teaser (must see) where everyone goes to see the History statue & Michael with the military people,in my opinion it's the best non-music video Michael's ever done! Also, another highlight is Billie Jean (Motown 25)where he premiered the moonwalk & tripped!!! Oh, & don't forget the MTV performance, oh my God, that is so cool!!! I love the Scream video & the Childhood video as well! But there's 2 disadvanteges...

1. On the original VHS there was the MJ Megaremix but it's not on the DVD!!!

2. They replaced Blood On The Dance Floor with some crap Refugee Camp Mix!!!
