Dame Elizabeth Taylor is candidly sharing her thoughts on 'This Is It,' the highly anticipated film comprised of Michael Jackson's final rehearsal footage.

Dame Elizabeth tweeted nearly 20 messages praising the film, as well as Michael Jackson's music and talent.

She wrote the following on Monday:

"I was honored with the great privilege of seeing 'This Is It' last week. I was sworn to secrecy, but now I can let you know about it."

"I wept from pure joy at his God given gift. There will never, ever be the likes of him again."

"Kenny Ortega did a masterful job of directing the process that goes into making a complete show before hitting the stage."

"I truly believe this film should be nominated in every category conceivable."

"It is the single most brilliant piece of filmmaking I have ever seen. It cements forever Michael's genius in every aspect of creativity."

"From 'Black And White,' 'Man In The Mirror.' The inspiration behind 'We Are The World.' We must take his words of responsibility seriously."

'This Is It' opens worldwide in IMAX -- with Michael's amazing music pulsing through the powerful 14,000-watt digital surround sound IMAX system -- and conventional theaters Wednesday, October 28.

    • Why is it that some of the Jackson Family seem to not like "This Is It"? I honestly believe MJ's Mom when she say it is to soon for her. Why can't LaToya behave like Janet? I like LaToya but seem like she is trying to get her 15 minutes of fame.
