Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

km_macleod92 when I first started to watch this movie i really started to like it, it showed that Michael Jackson had no child hood and had a father that was pretty hard on him. then later in his life he was accused of child abuse, because of this he lost a lot of fans.(as you all probably know by know) i believe Michael Jackson and would support him in his defense( if i could) however another thing i liked about this film is that they showed that they didn't make this film because for people to believe Micheal Jackson.the one thing that i did not like about this film is that i never really had an end. there was a problem(Jacksons father) then it was sovoled (moving to never land) then there was another problem( the child abuse) then there was another problem (Jacksons wife) then it sorta just needed right there. well they did have a nice scene at the end when Michael is on top of his car. so then we go back to the summary 'what is wrong with this movie?'is it the fact that it never had an end?? or is it the fact that it was too long or too short??in my opinion this is a very good movie for its genre and it almost feels a little bit more respectful to like it."you don't use the media, the media uses you"

rps-2 Despite my distaste for "Wacko Jacko" whom I consider a symbol of American decadence, this nevertheless was a very well done film. It seemed factually correct. The guy who played Jackson had him down just about perfectly, in sound, in body language and even appearance. Most of the others were good too, especially the portrayal of Johnny Cochrane. However Elizabeth Taylor was bad burlesque. The film moves a little too quickly and at times the camera work is frenetic and distracting. But I found it to be both factual and entertaining. However the verdict and the disposition of the Jackson trial should at least be shown in the closing credits of more recent prints of the picture.''

gazebo Where the hell did VH1 find the scriptwriter for this movie??? Out of high school? This movie tries so hard to be sympathetic to Michael Jackson, but instead, turns him into a horrible, tacky caricature. All the lines are filled with clichés but surprisingly the acting wasn't bad. As usual, this is a bad movie with pretty good actors. The actor that plays Michael Jackson, jeez, I feel sorry for him! I think he did the best he could with the weak script. I didn't mind that Flex did not look like Michael Jackson, I thought he did the best he could, but later on when he had all that white make-up on, oh man, did he look yucky! The other actors that played Debbie Rowe, Priscilla Presley and Elizabeth Taylor were pretty good. Except that the actress that plays Liz Taylor looked too young and healthy to be playing Liz. The actress that plays Diana Ross didn't look at all like her and I couldn't figure out who this woman was until much later on in the movie.This movie does a disservice to everyone who is on the side of Michael Jackson, or against Michael Jackson. It doesn't do anything to change anyone's opinion. As a matter of fact, the only opinion anyone will have after watching this movie is, oh God, this movie really, really sucks! And where the hell is Michael Jackson's wonderful music and songs? There are none to be found in this movie. I love the soundtrack to this movie anyway and I'll probably purchase it if I could.On the lighter side though, this is a very funny, campy movie! It's a great time waster if you want to watch something light that won't trouble your brain too much. I'll probably watch it again, because it just is so entertainingly bad!

cherubim10 If any of you have seen the horror of "See Arnold Run", you know what I'm talking about. Take a superstar, someone who EVERYBODY knows what they look like, how they walk, talk, and sound, and try to make a movie about them, WITHOUT them. It is a very, very hard thing to do. This movie pulls it off the best it can possibly be done, in my opinion. It tells the sometimes sad story of Michael's hard life, from Thriller on to today. Once you're into it, you almost see Flex Alexander as Michael Jackson, forgetting the real Michael's face and voice, if only for a little while. While utilizing absolutely none of Michael's music, the movie still has you in his world. It's totally ambiguous, never saying Michael is guilty, while also never quite saying he's innocent. At the end of this movie, I honestly felt really bad for Michael Jackson. It gave me great insight into his world, and I think this movie is a must-see before anyone starts bashing him.
