This is a spectacular production! I have seen the show live twice in As always, this is a thought-provoking sensory overload, skillfully captured in high definition with 15 cameras! The footage was Masterfully edited, one of the best concert DVDs of all times in my opinion! I only hope and wish that they will release this on Blu-Ray of HD-DVD so that we can re-live this extravaganza over and over again. please this FILM is great

It's really in the opening and the closing one sees it most; the film opens as Timberlake enters the arena where the concert is being held, but instead of the usual vapid things like getting make-up on or showing total foolishness, he gets the Tennessee Kids to introduce themselves. It's a good idea and it gets one intrigued; these aren't necessarily people who are there to look pretty and nice, they're career musicians who have been together for a while and they're happy to be doing what they do (one singer says he always has a smile on, and we can believe it, it's not disingenuous).But Demme's cinema, as it was in all of his concert movies, syncs up beautifully with what this particular act is trying to do, which is to be a bouncy, sometimes sexy and especially classy pop show ("Suit and Tie" is one of those that is infectiously cool too). But the point I'm making is that if you're already a fan of Timberlake's, then this is simply a sweet combination of a lot of his hits and some covers ("Human Nature" and "That girl is Poison" are two well done ones), and if you are on the fence or even have barely a casual interest, this filmmaker gets you the f*** into it. That's something.

Here's what sets apart a director like Jonathan Demme from the average journeyman or hired-gun, and certainly one must note that one could have made a concert/documentary movie about Justin Timberlake performing with the Tennessee Kids in Las Vegas in entertaining fashion and style simply by presenting the group as is. The energy is difficult not to capture from Timberlake who, however you feel about his songs, is a massively talented singer and who makes sure to give these people who likely paid several dozen arms and legs and other limbs to make it to see his live (final on this tour) performance with this great back- up band. But what Demme adds to the equation is genuine human interest and a sense of cutting and framing that is unparalleled; seriously, if Scorsese had directed this it wouldn't have been as interesting as what Demme does.The title of the film is significant. While there's no question that the one-time Mouseketeer and ex-NSYNC heartthrob is the commanding headliner, there's also something refreshingly inclusive about the degree to which he showcases and interacts with the 25 or so performers sharing his stage. This is not a show in which a preening star treats his backup vocalists and musicians as the help, or obliges his dancers to work up a sweat while he coasts. Throughout, Timberlake feeds off the other performers' energy as much as the audience's worship.

The show was amazing and very professional. Justin Timberlakeis a non- stop, dancing and singing for hours. The opening was pretty good when he came out and also jump was a really good performance. The entire show was full of energy so it's kind of hard to say which were the highlights because every song had something special and unique. I saw live couple of his previous tours they were good but you can't compare with this one. The dancers were fantastic, the lights and the whole show were just perfect. Justin Timberlake still looks very good. If you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend you to see it. You'll enjoy the show from the beginning to the end.
