There's gonna be times where people tell you that you can't live your dreams. This is what I tell them: Never say never!
The words resonate within viewers – bringing the powerful dynamic of Justin Bieber, not only as a singer, but also as a powerful icon of ambition, into the viewers' living rooms. The powerful moment when Bieber shouts these words to his fans, Beliebers, captivates the way in which the film captures the concert experience. Although the film does a great job capturing the concert element, the rest of the movie proved to be disappointing, to say the least.
The movie's picture quality was poor, which was most likely intended to give the film the same type of raw, behind-the-scenes, voyeuristic feel of the popular concert-related movie, Michael Jackson's: This is It. However, the majority of the film is essentially a compilation of home videos, so the poorly lit interviews of Justin's friends, family, and acquaintances looked pitiful by comparison. Furthermore, many of these "acquaintances," a term I believe most aptly describes a number of individuals in the movie who do not appear to have personal connections to Bieber – make the movie seem significantly less insightful. Moreover, the movie is essentially a concert-film interspersed with homemade videos of Justin and the aforementioned interviews, which, due to the sporadic nature of these occasionally insightful interviews made it impossible for non-Beliebers to follow his rise to fame. These factors also made segments of the film somewhat boring and redundant for his fanatical fans.
Justin Bieber: Never Say Never proved to be a weak film from a cinematic standpoint, and the movie is really only for die-hard Bieber fans (of which there are a great number). Fans of his music will most likely be let down by parts of the film, but satisfied with the powerful portrayal of his concert. Individuals who do not like Bieber's music will be dissatisfied with this film for its lack of focus on Bieber as a person and its poor production quality.
