_**A FABULOUS CINEMATIC EXPERIENCE**_ No matter how many times you watch it, the movie gets even better if you're a Michael Jackson fan. It offers a fast-paced look at the early life of the King of Pop without making it rushed. Basically tells how he became the King of Pop and what it took him to become that famous globally, including the abuse by his father and struggles with his lost childhood and appearance. Despite enjoying Bohemian Rhapsody more in terms of its length and structure, Michael still offers a fresh look at his life, though a Bohemian Rhapsody structure would've made it even better, and most importantly, the runtime. The film is only like 127 minutes while BoRhap clocked at 134 minutes, that was quite concerning because the film is not even 2 hours flat excluding the end credits, somehow that still felt better to me and that people with low attention span can enjoy it in theaters easily, especially the newer Tik-Tok generation. Story: 8.2/10 (Well-written with humoristic content as well) Pacing: 7.1/10 (Fast but not rushed, well done for newer gen citizens) Structure: 5.3/10 (Too linear and less attractive at times) Acting: 8/10 (Well-done, Colman, Juliano, Jaafar, Nia, and Miles nailed it) Accuracy: 9.1/10 (Better timeline than Bohemian Rhapsody) Exploration: 4.8/10 (Explores like a Wikipedia page and doesn't adds anything unique or unheard about Michael's life) Drama: 8.9/10 (Well-done and executed perfectly) Soundtrack: 7.3/10 (More of a greatest hits one by one but perfect picks) CGI: 6.5/10 (Can feel distracting, especially with Bubbles, but doesn't ruins the experience) Dancing: 9.8/10 (Literally a masterpiece, no flaws) Cinematography: 7.5/10 (Feels crispy, though sometimes like specifically shot for newer gen) Ending: 8.8/10 (Gives enough time to let audience prepare for Part Two, and ends on a high note) Overall: 7.6/10 (⭐⭐⭐⭐)

I super duper enjoyed the movie. It really brought back the Michael Jackson back from the grave. The fans of the whole wide world loved it. Antoine Fuqua did an excellent job not bringing the controversial of Michael Jackson. Just focusing uprising to the fame. I don't care what the critics say. Go and watch the movie yourself. Jaafar Jackson & Colman Domingo did excellent in the movie. my rating for the movie 9.5/10. You won't regret it from watching it all over again. Especially on IMAX format.

Given the whole slew of Jackson's involved in this stylish production, I couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed by the hollowness of the whole thing. Certainly Jaafar Jackson has something of his uncle's charm and childlike vulnerability, but were we not to have known he was a member of the actual family then I'm not sure I'd have been that convinced by his acting characterisation away from the dance floor. In any case, we begin with his ten year old (or is that eight?) younger years; with the domestic brutality at the hands of their domineering father Joe (Colman Domingo) whilst powerless mother Katherine (Nia Long) looked on - but without ever really getting to appreciate the nature of the bond between the siblings (and there's no sign of Janet). Despite being a couple of hours long, by the time we get to the adult, snakes and llamas, phase of his life we seem to be hurrying things along without really learning of his relationship with Berry Gordy (Larenz Tate) or Quincy Jones (Kendrick Simpson) or agent/manager/pillar of support John Branca (Miles Teller). There can be no doubting that this Jackson is in his element in the studio and on the stage; his performances border on the mimicry - but with a freshness to them that reminds us that this lad has a little bit of je ne sais quoi all of his own, something he adds charismatically throughout. The film looks every bit as glitzy and innovative as the original performances were but without any depth. Indeed, it comes across more as a sort of highly-polished fanzine that takes us to "Bad" with the promise of more to come, but without us really knowing a great deal more about him than we could have read on Wikipedia. There is something maniacal about Domingo's effort that convinces, but otherwise perhaps those making this were too close to the subject matter to be truly objective about what made the man tick, and so I left the cinema having remembered a man I saw at Wembley in 1988 fondly, but not especially enlightened.

The highly anticipated Michael Jackson biopic directed by Antoine Fuqua ends up feeling more like a hollow, corporate PR stunt than an authentic movie. Instead of showing the complex human being behind the myth, the film plays it incredibly safe to avoid upsetting his estate. It scrubs away anything uncomfortable, completely ignoring the controversies, lawsuits, and even key family members like Janet Jackson. What we get is essentially a beautiful wax museum—stunning on the outside, but totally empty and lacking any real emotional depth or genuine conflict. John Logan's script treats Michael's life like a rushed checklist, jumping wildly from one major event to the next without giving the audience time to breathe. The pacing is all over the place, dragging out endless studio rehearsals while rushing through huge career milestones. To make matters worse, while Jaafar Jackson is an amazing dancer who looks and moves exactly like his uncle, his lack of acting experience really shows. Whenever the music stops and a scene needs real dramatic weight, his performance feels stiff and mechanical, proving that a spot-on imitation isn't enough to carry a heavy dramatic role. Because the drama often falls flat, the director constantly uses Michael's iconic soundtrack as a cheap band-aid. Whenever a scene feels awkward or emotionally dead, they just blast a classic hit to force you to feel something through pure nostalgia. It makes the whole thing feel like an overly long music video that would completely fall apart without the famous songs. On top of that, the supporting characters—who should be crucial to the story—are treated like disposable background extras with terrible, unnatural dialogue, leaving the movie's world feeling completely lifeless. The most cowardly choice of all is where the film decides to end. By cutting the story off right before the *Bad* tour in the late 80s, the movie conveniently avoids the darkest, most controversial, and challenging years of Michael's life. Protecting an artist's legacy is one thing, but straight-up ignoring reality makes the whole project feel dishonest. In the end, despite the massive budget and gorgeous visuals, the movie sacrifices real storytelling just to protect a brand, failing entirely to capture the true, complicated human being behind the superstar.

**The Glitter, The Glamour, & The Glory.** **"The Background Life Of Mr Michael Joseph Jackson;** **Born August 29th 1958 Gary, Indiana, U.S.A.** **A Brief History & True Concise Story."** "This international massive super-nova-star was groomed, pampered, and trained at a very early age. One of the foremost outstanding greatest entertainers of his generation. His singing and dancing abilities were speedy silky smoothie that could instantly dazzle a razzmatazz a soul-jazz-funk move from any dance floor angle; That would melt the mind and hearts of over thousand million people worldwide." "There was another personal private side to him that curiously call to question one of many; His seemly bizarre, odd, peculiar, or weird attitude, behaviour, and conduct off the stage; His cause needs to be fully understood and respectfully answered." "The dept is rooted in his past background, this we shall briefly explore. From a tender young age he was exposed quite often in his face naked adult dance women at the restaurant dine and wine joint bars. He would receive unnecessary unpredictable physical raw beatings, brute force body blows turn on him for further whackings, and facial smackings from his father; Condemned for born looking ugly!! Strongly influentially involved with hyper ultra conservative religions, Finally as a result he carried too conceal many emotional feelings, experiencing very heavy tormenting pain, that is desperate to be release hence being freed." "Mr Michael Joseph Jackson did not receive the true love and approval attention from his biological father; His mother practically did so only. As a fully grown person he was always surrounded by other outsiders, advert promoters and platinum gold diggers!! From the very youngest to the oldest, he could not find, and he did not have, one truly genuine mature friend to successfully deeply heal him. However-never-the-less! He found comfort and joy being with abused and deprived poor children; He loved to be a kind affectionate friend as an act of charity and rich mercy." "From envious onlookers! He said in his own words: The bigger the superstar! The bigger the negative target; The fans are in love with my personality, this will get me into a lot of trouble." "To conclude: For what you have immensely contributed in this world, you deserve to have your deepest long sleep undisturbed in peace."

7/10. Entertaining but basic. Nothing new but it's great for beginners of Michael Jackson's catalog. Except there's a lot more info on the great Bubbles. If there is a Part 2, definitely more of Bubbles please.
