    Saw Michael in the cinema, and (personal opinion) was a bit disappointed. It's like a fantasy tale, where main hero is an ideal person, that never did anything wrong or act in questionable manner....

    a bit disappointed. It's like a fantasy tale, where main hero is an ideal person, that never did anything wrong or act in questionable manner.

    Apart from that acting was quite good.

      Another way you can phrase is that movie studios once again made a biopic that a lot of people enjoyed.

        I think this is the better option. I did write it being a bit cynical as it's yet another 'Company now evaluated at X amount of dollaridoos'. Thank you for you comment <3

    This is something like the fifth time I’ve scrolled past this post title and thought they had remade the John Travolta movie of the same name.

    I saw it two days ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. I’m glad they showed the father for the abuser he was (although I’m sure that could have been a movie of its own).

    The studio has said that they’re not ready to confirm a sequel yet, but I really hope they do. The execution was flawless in terms of the look, feel and sound. There is so much more to tell and I can’t imagine a better portrayal than that by Jaafar.

    As for the allegations, I thought they could have included a scene based on this testimony by Aaron Carter, where he alludes to his parents and the FBI encouraging him to implicate Jackson so they could get a payout.

    There are so many movies. I have not watched any of them on this article. The director must be very proud to create so many. I wonder how you can watch them all?

      It's about Michael Jackson. Opinions are mixed on the quality, but it's for sure very popular

        I see. I do not listen to the rock and roll music. However, I hope that the viewers are enjoying the movie.

          Michael Jackson is Pop, not Rock'n'Roll, maybe you're thinking of Elvis

              Lowkey is a British rapper. You're making this all even more confusing! ;)
