MJ loves MJ (Wabash, IN)
Don't waste your money on this yawner! I'm a hard-core Michael Jackson fan and collect all the film footage of him that I can. But man, did I make a mistake when I ordered "Never Surrender". Its 70-minute running time seems like 170 by the time you reach its merciful end. No music, just people I've never heard of telling their stories about Michael. Yes, some of these people worked closely with MJ, but the narrative format is a total bore. The DVD's only redeeming feature is that it has interspaced rare clips of MJ, but even so, it isn't worth the first dollar. I'm embarrassed to even have it in my collection!
Don't Surrender Your Money for the Crummy DVD! March 15, 2010
Patrick McCarthy (Hanover Park, IL)
The "Never Surrender" DVD has very few good points. First off, little if any MJ music to speak of. Most of the Michael Jackson footage consists of old interviews.
It is worth a look if you want to rent it or check it out from your local library.
Too much time is spent rehashing his time with the Jackson Five.
Total disappointment for the Michael Jackson fan January 3, 2010

This video is a total disappointment to the Michael Jackson fan. I bought this after having viewed many of the Michael Jackson movies on the market; this is one you should not waste your time or money on. This and Moonwalker are the only Michael DVDs that I shut off before finishing and have no plan to watch again.
This DVD does not have a lick of Michael Jackson music. It has a very lame music bank that is repetitive and annoying. It is a poor attempt at tapping into the Michael Jackson post-death purchases.
As for movies, I would recommend getting History on Film Vol. II and Michael Jackson Video Greatest Hits, if you enjoy his music videos. I personally, much prefer to watch him in recorded "live" concerts. The Live in Japan and Live in Bucharest DVDs are a must for any hardcore MJ fan. I provided links below to my recommendations based on your MJ interests.
"Live" performances:
Live in Japan
Michael Jackson: Live in Bucharest: The Dangerous Tour
Music Videos:
Michael Jackson - Video Greatest Hits - HIStory
Michael Jackson: HIStory on Film - Volume II
This One Was Even Worse October 22, 2009

I didn't think it was possible for a video to be worse than 'A Remarkable Life," but I stand corrected because this was one of the most poorly generic pieces of trash that was ever thrown together for money. I am sorry i ever wasted my money. I ususally want Michael Jackson stories to last forever, but I couldn't wait for this one to end. I will never buy something before reviews of it are posted. Oh, and you just got to love the generic background music. It makes you think you're watching porn. A complete RIPOFF :(

As other people have said, it's a total waste of money. I hadn't seen "A remarkable life" but thanks to other reviewers, I now know not to get that either as the two are exactly the same and neither of them are worth the money.
It's just a collection of people I've mostly never heard of, who had some connection with Michael through his work, talking about what they remember about him as though they were close buddy-buddies with him. Hardly even any pictures of Michael, let alone music. Looks to me like it's a totally unauthorized piece of junk, put together by some vultures who want to squeeze money out of his name.
Very disappointing!!!
