Justin Bieber's Believe - Review

This is one of the few concert documentaries featured by a pop star entertainer that I walked away very pleased by.  The story revolves around the preparation for Justin Bieber's recent album, "Believe," his recent concert tour, and the adversity that he is facing during his career.  These three fundamentals were key to making this film a pleasure to watch.  The movie demonstrates lots of the hardships and many works that has to go into making an album and concert tour which is great to see.  It is also unique to see how much of the movie they devoted to this, rather then just diving into the success of both like many other of these films tend to do.  I also enjoyed hearing the positive advice from Bieber regarding the many hardships he has faced and how he conveys a message to overcome them and block them out of his rear view.  I enjoyed how he represented his view on trying to avoid obnoxious paparazzi members by not responding to their tactics.  However, I feel the film failed to prove this view by showing him fighting them off in a opening movie stunt video to one of his songs.  I think this should have been left out of the film to convey this.  The songs used in the movie were very upbeat and drew you into the movie which I really liked.  I also liked how they tried to show how Justin Bieber draws to many different people of all ages and genders.  Considering Bieber has been seen to attract to many females, it is shown that it is not just that and many males enjoy listening to the entertainer as well.  I think Jon Chu, the director of the film, successfully made a great film with Justin Bieber and has made on of the best pop star documentary films that has been seen in a while.

Rating - 3.5/5
