Michael | Official Trailer

Scum with an agenda. Don't forget the agenda!

McGregor/Jackson 2028

Was looking forward to seeing this movie until I read the Empire review, https://www.empireonline.com/movies/reviews/michael-2026/

I find it incomprehensible that the makers simply decided to pretend there was no elephant in the room or even acknowledge the allegations with an end credits reference or something. If the rumoured second movie goes ahead I'll be first in the queue but I won't be holding my breath.

I'm saying it's rewriting history to make a movie that pretty much portrays him as a saint.

In terms of side eyeing somebody who watches a movie that details a factual story that relates to allegations of abuse that's pretty much a weird effort to malign people who think this is a story that amounts to whitewashing. This is a biopic, it isn't supposed to simply be portraying a performer performing. If I read a biography of a musician or anyone well known, it doesn't general ignore the awkward bits and focus on their career.

I also don't really get why people seem to be personally offended by critic's reactions. You can enjoy the movie but in general, it's not considered to be a very good movie. In terms of the optics of the movie, lots of people are gonna have criticisms.

No. The reason I said I side eye people who want that in a movie is because I have read weird things from people online, wanting a movie showing his alleged paedophilia. Its one thing to address accusations, its another to show alleged crimes of such horrific acts. (Not from anyone here obviously)

But as the point was made above, anyone who thinks a money making machine was going to address that, when the sole aim is making money off his music and art is sadly mistaken.

Its like the Bohemian Rhapsody movie. They done Freddie dirty, just to make Brian and Roger look good. Both happened to be producers for the movie

Also, I assume you're not trying to say I'm offended by the critics? Because all I said was some of the reviews are a bit harsh. Its definitely not a 1/10 movie. About 6 or 6.5

It's called review bombing. I wouldn't consider 40% to be great on any given day. It does drop back down to 24%. To bump up the score you just need some 3/5 reviews. The reality is you can polish a turd but it doesn't change the reality.

I'm going to see it on Sunday, and I would take reviews with a pinch of salt. Reviewers are there to get clicks onto their links and give their own opinion which is completely different to yours. Just watch the movie and read the reviews later.

The irony of this lad saying that the media had an agenda against Jackson.

The desperation to defend Michael constantly and to degrade and insult anyone who isn't bowing at his altar is truely Trumpian!

Who said you couldn't have an opinion or enjoy yourself but just because you enjoyed it or liked the movie, it does not mean the critics are wrong.

Are you suggesting that, before going to see a movie telling someone's life story, you should already know said person's life story?

Have you seen the movie? Did you like it?
