I understand why they removed the segments about the allegations toward him, but I’m sure everyone watching it is going to feel like it’s missing a pretty big chapter that haunts the whole thing. We all know about it, so I’m sure it comes off lacking with that knowledge. I haven’t seen it though.

I think many things can be true. But personally, I’m not interested in watching anything about Michael Jackson. In fact, I’m more interested in watching Leaving Neverland, which is about his abuse victims.
I understand that he made a lot of great music, and is a pop icon. But it makes me so sad to know that there are people out there who have to watch his family make money off of him, while his abusers still just sit and watch.
It doesn’t taste good.

I feel bad for Jaafar. He’s like a sacrificial lamb.

I can understand people still enjoying his music, but I can’t get onboard with anything that tries to rewrite history or validate his character.
Michael’s father and his upbringing were traumatic. But at some point he should have found proper therapy to deal with his demons instead of becoming the demon for a new generation of kids.
This movie might as well be one of those horrible Ryan Murphy shows where he uses real life characters in a fantasy world; because that’s all that this is… A fantasy.

How can you put the most influential musician’s carreer into a 2 hour movie?
The premise alone is like one of those cruise ship tribute shows.

Weird take but this is the first time in my life I thought a movie should have depicted more child abuse

Well his family are hardly going to call him a molester are they?
He’s weird and creepy. They have to work with what they have if they’re trying to squeeze money out of his oddball fans.

Tbh, it looks like a Lifetime quality movie. I think it’s going to do pretty good though because MJ still has a tons of fans. Musician Biopics in general haven’t been that good in the last couple of years.

Lol making a post me-too MJ doc and not addressing the allegations. IDK if that’s why it scored so low but still.

Someone was generally Pikachu face shocked that I wasn’t going to see this movie. Michael Jackson was a talented once in a lifetime influential phenomenon but that doesn’t change the fact he was a messed up individual.
I would never support this movie and those of us who are old enough know the hold he had on the world and just how big of a star he was. He’s part of history but you will never get me to celebrate him.

I really want all of the success for Colman Domingo, but I will not be seeing this one.

It ain’t gonna beat The Jacksons: An American Dream TV series. They did it perfectly there, didn’t need more.

good. the fact that his nephew played him when MJ did not F with his father was already a red flag. hearing Paris talk about the estate fighting her bc of the movie was flag 2. erasing the allegations was flag 3 bc whether you buy them or not it drove a lot of his behavior in the later years. flag 4 is his family making money off him when they treated him like shit when he was here.
it never sat well

How is everyone upset that this movie doesn’t mention the allegations? It literally ends years before those ever happened

Shocking…
Sadly it will probably do well in the box office

This is all Tito’s fault.
