Summary: This is a LOUSY DVD !
Review: I bought it because of all the great reviews saying the quality and content is great. First, the quality BARELY makes it to average-- I'd say most average DVDs are better than this. Compared to the Eagles and Roy Orbison DVD which was mastered in DTS, and Britney Spears Live, this DVD bites the dust! In terms of content, the only piece that was worth putting into this DVD was Motown 25 where Jackson did Billy Jean and the MTV music awards (it was good but not THAT great as others have put it). The others are OLD video music clips that you used to see on MTV decades ago! The quality of the sound for those clips are laughable -- you would laugh too if you didn't pay money for the DVD. Side two is just more of music videos-- the dolby digital mix is SO bad, you'd barely hear any difference than if you listen to audio CDs.

Summary: big mj fan
Review: I bought the number ones dvd and the dangerous dvd as well as this dvd. Many of the videos are the same on all 3 disc however the long version of black or white on the number ones disc i beleive and the long version to "The Way You Make Me Feel is on the number ones dvd. Also the number ones goes up to 2000 with "You Rock My World" while History II goes up to 1991. You do get dirty diana on the number ones but the short version to Smooth Criminal on it. The long version to smooth criminal is on this dvd. Many of the same videos from the 80's are on History I and II dvds which is why didnt get History I. I do however have the History Book I album. The volume II dvd also has the incomplete edited version to They dont care about us which I was disappointed in. However in the book I cd it is unedited which came out before the controversial part of the video. The video is longer also. I wish they would have put You Are Not Alone and Speed Demon on the disc. Speed Demon was animated with a rabbit with Mike on a motorcycle while Leave Me Alone had an amusement park ride Mike was riding in and he got up and the miniature roller coaster built on him fell apart. Really cool.I was expecting those songs to be on the History cd as well. Thats one of the greatest songs ever that i grew up with. The dangerous cd is one of the best because it has one repeatitive songs on it because its the whole dangeous album. The songs on it arent on any of the other dvds expect remember the time which is a great video with Eddie Murphy Emon and Magic Johnson. I love In the Closet with Niomi Campbell its about my favorite song on dangerous.

Summary: vintage MJ - you won't take your eyes off him
Review: I don't care if you don't like Michael Jackson, you might think he is too weird or too much like a stereotypical popstar; his very apparant enormous ego might put you off, but . . . THE MAN HAS TALENT. And it is all on History Vol2. The highlights of this package are without doubt -Smooth Criminal (encapsulates all of Mj's dance moves) -95 MTV award performance (special appearance by Slash for guns & roses + a great array of songs) -SCREAM (Janet and Michael duet set in a spaceship - it is very spectacular and the beat grows on you) -Billy Jean live performance (so far i have not seen one person take their eyes of the TV whenever this is on, I still can't after 50 viewings. These are the highlights, there are heaps of other songs -Liberian Girl (clip with heaps of celebs) -Beat it -thriller (the whole clip with intro) -Earth song -Childhood -Stranger in Moscow -They don't really care about us -Blood on the dancefloor The so called 'teaser' intro is unbelievable. It sounds great and looks fantastic. The 'teaser' shows Michael being treated as some kind of military leader at the unveiling of his huge gold statue (strange). Anyway it is worth a laugh, and it does look cool. The end song is a package containing footage from many overcrowded Jackson concerts with Excalibur music in the background. He will return. THE DVD RULES!!

Summary: HE'S THE MAN!
Review: I think this is one of the all time best albums that Michael has done. I have the CD and was so glad to see it on DVD. What a difference being able to watch him do those great songs. I wish they could have done all the songs off the CD, but better most, then none. Whether you love him or not, you have got to admit that the boy has talent. I am hoping that they decide to release other albums he has done on DVD. If you do not already have this ... what are you waiting for?

Summary: the sound on Smooth Criminal is terrible...
Review: I was thinking perhaps it's just my DVD, but it appears others are having an issue with the DVD sound quality. I like the videos on DVD format because that way you can skip over to the next if you don't like the one you're watching. I happen to skip over Beat It and Thriller. I'm not and never was one to like either of those songs or videos. I would say the same for Billie Jean if it was the video. I also dislike the fact that it is a 2 sided disc and fail to understand why it is? On the upside and why I gave it a 3 is because Michael Jackson is by far my favorite entertainer. I am an admirer of him by his works (music, videos, etc) as well as by his personal strength to continue on with life, regardless. Watching Liberian Girl after all of these years, makes me wonder where, in the world, are some of these old stars? Where did they go to? Unfortunately, I seem to skip over Smooth Criminal video, which is a shame because Smooth Criminal is my favorite video of all time. But due to the sound quality on the DVD...it just isn't worth listening to or watching. As far as the HIStory videos themselves, fantastic for those of us that live in America. We rarely get to see They Don't Care About Us, Stranger In Moscow, and Earth Song! Honestly, if you're not a Michael Jackson fan, skip the DVD and just buy the VHS if you are thinking about buying this. The dvd is nothing special and no extras, other than the lyrics...

Summary: Could Be BETTER!!!!
Review: I will keep this review short & sweet!! The content of this DVD is AWESOME (music & videos), while the DVD itself sucks!! I hate DVDs that are mono-layered!! In other words, you have to turn the DVD to see another half of material!! Why everything wasn't on a single sided DVD is beyond me because it isn't impossible with only 106 minutes of content!! Get this used or extremely cheap on Ebay!!!

Summary: History On Film Volume II..a must have.
Review: I've watched this DVD so many times, I promise. It has a lot of great stuff in here, and on the weekends me and my sister will put this in and start dancing to it. You have Billie Jean. But it's better than the music video..it's the Motown performance that introduced the world to the Moonwalk! How good is that? I wasn't even born then, so until I bought this I missed out on such a great performance!
You have Beat It..which is a classic. Liberian Girl..FULL of cameos! I like the video, but all the talking covered the song itself and that got annoying after a while. Smooth Criminal is an awesome video. That lean that he did..I don't know how many times I busted my face when I was little, trying to do what he did. That video is a classic too. The version that Alien Ant Farm did is good too..but I'm not reviewing them, am I? There's the MTV Video Music Awards Performance. 15 minutes of good stuff. It's definately a great performance and one of my favorites on the disc. He switches from song to song, and does this neat robotic movement thing and what show would be complete without Billie Jean? Thriller..if you're reading this review and you haven't seen this video at least once then maybe I can help you get out from under that rock, heh. That video is legendary! And on Side Two, it starts off wonderfully with Scream, an awesome video that he does with his sister, Janet. A space-like video, powerful lyrics and it's one of Michael's best and Janet's sexiest moments. Childhood, a touching song and a beautiful video. Flying ships and lots of children. It's a great video to watch and a great song to sing to. You Are Not Alone, that was a huge hit. Played on the radio all the time and I never got enough of it. It's a beautiful video. Earth Song...POWERFUL stuff! The lyrics, especially at the end. I love this video to death and it's one of my favorites on the DVD They Don't Care About Us. The music in this video is amazing. All those people playing in the video..it's very nice. The song itself is awesome. Stranger In Moscow..I didn't really like it in the beginning. But I grew to love it, and it's one of my favorites now. A slow song, the video is in black and white which somehow makes it slower and a little calm. A great video Then there's Blood On The Dance Floor. This video is the reason I gave this thing 4 stars instead of 5. I don't really like it. I don't even dance to it, I don't think. The original version is much better than the remix. I don't consider this to be the end of it, because there's the Brace Yourself. Brace Yourself..it's not a video, but it's still good. I don't know why, I sometimes have that on repeat, heh. All in all, I recommend this DVD. I don't mean to break it down and talk about every single thing on it, heh. It's a very nice collection of videos. A lot of classics, and some videos I never saw until I bought it..mostly on Side Two. Get this DVD, it's great!
