    I watched this movie as someone who wasn't a fan while he was alive (no animosity towards him, I'm just not a music person) and found it enjoyable and entertaining but you do have to keep in the back of your mind that this is his estate's version of the story. Like although I'm sure that there is truth in it, I can guess that Michael inviting Crips and Bloods to perform as backup dancers in an attempt to address gang violence wasn't as neat and clean as the story suggests.
