"Why Justin Beiber and not the thousands of others on the Internet doing basically the same thing?" - Robert Tumas

sorry, i'm a belieber

i suppose he can play the drums

This movie taught me to NEVER SAY NEVER!

I'm not a Bieber hater, but why is the sound editing for a music documentary so bad..?

while it's very cheerful, it is clearly a long way from being an unbiased documentary, but it does allow some insight. Sure I agree that Bieber is talented, but the music is very average.

Only a moron or a homely tween would actually find Bieber's Scoot-assisted rise inspirational. He's talented to an extent, at least talented and photogenic enough to be made into a star (which has already passed.) The songs run the gamut from good to mediocre.

I felt pretty neutral about Beiber (I had no reason to have an opinion) but this was clearly made to hype this Madison Square Garden show to a greater level of legendary. He's got talent, but that doesn't mean this is a good movie. In the end it's a bunch of obnoxious people shoving out good will in front of a camera (often staged) spliced with concert footage. If you're looking for inside thoughts to a kid deprived of teenage years, you won't get it. This is a straight-to-video tigerbeat thing.

What am I rating here? Bieber's talent? Substantial. His music? Mediocre. The stage performances? Powerful. This film? Shaky. The 3D is bull and the content is extremely hit and miss. But if you can watch this film and tell me Bieber isn't talented, you're full of shit. Like his music or don't (I don't), the kid sings well, plays drums even better, sells out MSG but a year into the game and inspires millions of people, and he's 16. I was impressed, but I find this film hard to rate.

This documentary, filled with boring inspirational mantras all around ("never say never" et al.) must be a delight for Bieber's hysterical teen fans, but will not appeal to their parents and big brothers.
