Without going overboard - let’s first understand that this is a super complicated human being whose life cannot be captured in 90 minutes or so. Each of these can be its own movie. 1. His music 2. His dancing (style, uniqueness) 3. His early years including parental abuse. 4. His body transformation. 5. His relationships (weird as they are) 6. The child in him. 7. Later allegations and controversy. And ask yourself. What do you expect to learn about MJ that you don’t already know. What this movie does is take the path of least resistance in a rather shallow way that is PG13 and enjoyable with popcorn. You can watch this with your kids. Just about fun. Entirely forgettable. If there’s one shining quality about this movie - it’s Jafaar Jackson and his taking on his uncle’s persona. No one moves and dances like MJ - as JJ does. Incredible dedication to the cause.

Exceptional opening and first 1/4th of the entire movie that devolves into mediocrity and generic fare. The fact that it’s not a true story but presents itself as one, makes it all the worse. Adrian Brody is a great actor, no doubt.

An incredibly well made and flawless movie that somehow doesn't get the attention and credit it deserves, because of its utterly depressing theme. One of the most straightforward stories from Philip K **** - interpreted and delivered in a great format (rotoscoped) that's also very unique. Great star cast.

Do not believe the millennial or GenZ ratings that are anything less than 7. This is not shallow, fast TikTok entertainment. The move is a great combination of art and entertainment.

Change the future, not the past. Diversity at the cost of compromising on history and legend, is pathetic. And I am not even white. Woke nonsense at its finest.

Anyone who thinks this is some kind of under-rated masterpiece is not right in the mind. This is a barely average B movie.

I know we all want to be sympathetic towards Zack Snyder and all that but this is a dreadful movie.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

This movie is not as great or amazing as folks are making it out to be. *Spoiler Alert* follows: The part where he goes up on stage and instead of going ahead with his comedy routine, gets all emotional, is frankly - unbelievable and hammy. It all goes downhill from there.

If your brand of horror is blood/gore and jump scares (as is the case with most Americans these days), you'll not like this movie. The 0-4 reviews are unfounded. I found this movie to be pretty good - there is a palpable sense of dread that runs throughout the movie. I wouldn't say that this is a GREAT movie or anything but it is definitely a good one. There are plenty of disturbing scenes in the movie - if you experience these in the context of the movie and within the realms of what this story is about, it is pretty unsettling. However, if you're the sort whose threshold for scares has been upped by the likes of slasher movies, you'll probably not be as affected. Once again - good movie for sure.
