Went into Michael thinking it would play it safe—and yeah… it kinda does. This isn’t a deep, hard-hitting biopic. It’s more of a celebration of Michael Jackson’s rise, his music, and those iconic moments we all know.
Jafar Jackson absolutely delivers—vocals, movement, presence—it feels authentic. Colman Domingo as Joe Jackson? Intense. You feel that pressure and fear the whole time.
The biggest issue? It stays surface-level. It touches on interesting parts of Michael’s life but never really digs in. Critics are killing it for that—but honestly, I get what the movie was going for.
At the end of the day, it’s about the music, the nostalgia, and that feeling MJ gave us. And yeah… it works.
Not perfect, but fans will enjoy it.
