@offthewalls2 i guess the general audience won't see it the way we see it, cause we're so sanitised to it by now that we're only nitpicking every detail when we should be looking at the bigger picture instead.

@HVST3RIA but at the same time it’s good they leaned into the evilness bc ironically that’s what stuck with my non fan friends the most

definitely 😭 these were some of my issues with it

@offthewalls2 same. the flow was off. also I'm wondering why they've cut the scene of him going around visiting ppls houses as a Jehovah's witness. i thought they would go in depth about his faith and how it affected him. there was nothing about him being denied holidays because of it.

@cohenjo292 now you're saying something different - one thing is his life revolving around allegations, another thing is saying that those allegations were a big controversy or "conflict". his life revolved around his career, not around allegations.
English
@HVST3RIA Even if you don't think he's guilty, once someone is accused of raping children of course that's going to become the central conflict in their life.
English
wrong. michael jackson's life doesn't revolve around the allegations against him.

MICHAEL ending in 1989 with the release of BAD is like ending an O.J. biopic with him winning the Heisman.

the concept of parodying a biopic to make fun of michael...

@offthewalls2 branca isn't some complex character so ofc he wouldn't care much about his performance. tbh most of the characters felt like npcs anyways - except colman, nia and young michael. everyone else was just kinda there. also the random af mike myers cameo threw me off.
English
@HVST3RIA yeah they made branca way too important 😭 also miles lowkey felt checked out, like he wasn’t really putting his whole pussy into that performance
English
all in all paris was right about some things, but it’ll do well, introduce a whole new audience to him… and maybe we’ll finally get victory in 4k

@HVST3RIA It's not a rating. It's just a percentage of the reviews that are negative or positive. 35% of the reviews were positive, 65% were negative. That doesn't mean the average score is a 35/100.
English
half way through the movie guys and I'm afraid they weren't lying about it being kinda shallow. it's definitely for the general audiences - but it doesn't offer anything that isn't known even by the most basic level fans. and there's too much john branca, as expected.

@DrummerFanatic1 i was in the back row in the corner and it's a smaller theatre. obviously i wouldn't take out my phone if there were more people.

@HVST3RIA yh it was definitely noticeably shortened… lowkey i would’ve preferred one 3-hour film instead of two parts
English
@offthewalls2 i thought it was...not the best. like, we know he liked peter pan, but i cringed at the scene of him stroking peter pan's nose and then it cuts to him going to get a nose job 😭😭💀💀💀 what were they thinking honestly
English
@thefurlinator i don't know how RT works and ngl I don't care. all i know is, the movie doesn't deserve such a low rating.
English
@HVST3RIA That's not what the Rotten Tomatoes score means
English
this but kinda unironically. why was branca in the movie so much?

@HVST3RIA He’s clearly not innocent. But given the parasocial relationships people have with celebrities I’m not surprised people just block out whatever makes liking that said celebrity easier.

The only way the media wouldn't have hate-bombed this movie if it portrayed MJ as guilty of child molestation. That's it. That's what they want, not simply a discussion of the allegations, not honesty and not truth. They just want THEIR version of MJ. #Michaelmovie

@trumanstories yeah, honestly the general audiences will enjoy it the most because superfans have expectations and haters have expectations - and neither group will have those expectations met. it was a decent biopic.
English
i haven’t seen it yet so forgive me if i’m wrong but i think that’s with all music biopics imo. i don’t think i walked out of elvis or bob dylan knowing any more than i did when i walked in. i think w a biopic, honesty is more important than depth maybe

@HVST3RIA No, critics, based on their reviews, hated the same things you disliked. You still enjoyed the movie but you have the same complaints the critics do. You may have liked it more than most critics but clearly they weren’t wrong, you’re agreeing with their complaints.
English
this 100%. it's a good movie, it's surface-level MJ for the fans, but it's definitely the real him that the general audience doesn't know about - and that's what the critics hate. it shows you Michael as he is authentically, and not as how the media portrays him.

Just watched the #Michaelmovie. Let me tell you: - It's not perfect, but the bad reviews are absolutely BS and agenda driven.
