    It's at 33% on rotten tomatoes. So yeah, stick to the made for tv movie, the Jackson's an American dream from 1992?

    • Screen Rant has it at 80 or 90%, I mean yeah, for all the effort they put with Jaafar, it should at least be over 50%.
    • I have no time for cinema right now but I can only assume it has more to do with screenplay, director's vision than with acting, ambiance......
    • I also think the darker part of Jackson is yet to come probably hits with Michael 2 or Michael 3.....the part about the kids on Neverland... that drama is really what hits or breaks with the critics.
    35% now and it is at least rising.

    Biopics are not for everyone.......it is going to be a major box office hit even if it was just mediocre which is fine by me.

    They reviewed it as said before as 1 installment but that whole thing is chopped up in 3 parts.....

    You cannot make it a noir film with the Jackson 5 and the little Michael in it, those were the fun years outside of Joe Jackson.

    • They expected Training Day which is not going to happen......
    • The reviews read like, go all out, take risks.....they are crying for the makers to put MJ in a bad light again, gross!
    • I happen to watch Better Man and the whole thing is done with a Champanzee, darker, but not as good.
