Jaafar Jackson captivated everyone. The script — no one.
After the embargo was lifted on April 21, professional reviews of the biopic "Michael" directed by Antoine Fuqua were mostly critical: on Rotten Tomatoes the film received only 32% approval based on 52 reviews, and the weighted average score on Metacritic was 38 out of 100. Reviewers agree on one thing: the film is easy and pleasant to watch, the concert scenes are recreated with impressive accuracy — but behind the external gloss there is almost no substance. Several publications directly called the biopic "formulaic" and pointed out that the influence of the Jackson estate foundation on the production is felt in every frame .
