Does this movie reveal any significant things about MJ or his upbringing/legacy, etc that most seasoned fans probably don't know?

Nah its very generic

They cut studio 54 scenes, also the wiz scenes diana rosses whole character was cut too crazy

No, but why would it?

Fans already know the story.

I don't know really. I know MJ admired Diana a lot. I've never really looked into it enough to comment properly.

I defo need the director’s cut for this, gimme the full 4 hours

Boutta see this tomorrow with my siblings. We all grew up loving MJ.

It's almost outgrossed Bohemian Rhapsody in India on day 1 lmao

Global box office for this is wild

Win for cinema as a whole

Michael was against the illuminati lowkenuinely

this is a problem with movies overall these days tbh where theyre almost like a montage of set pieces with some stuff between general audience got tiktok fried brain so u cant make it “too slow”

Critics can eat a d*** mane

MJ was always for the people and they can't stand it, nothing new

F*** them all

I hear a lot of people say this but how on earth are they gonna go into detail about every single aspect of his life without making it a thousand-hour movie? It's not realistic to expect that level of detail. There's a lot of documentaries about MJ divided into several episodes which allow for more detail. I don't think a big-screen movie like this one is the format for the level of detail we may want.

Edit: Whoops. I quoted the wrong person. I meant to respond to those who say that the movie sped through/skipped parts of his life/process/people who mattered/didn't go deep enough.

Fans upset it tells the story they already know is a funny complaint too

Because maybe there are things about his life that not everyone knows idk. Idc tbh just wondering cuz I can't see the movie just yet

This is a childhood trauma movie. To the highest degree. Those who had less than perfect upbringings will be moved by this

This version of the song is so tough

ain’t seen the theater packed like this in a long ass time

I think the best way to go about it would of been to just focus soley on the thriller era. I feel like you could tell the same story of someone gaining his independence from his abusive father but make it even more compelling.

Like you said, you can't fit his whole life in a movie, we have documentaries for that. So why even try try

Imagine you in there just trying to watch the movie and some nerd Stan stands up in front of the screen and starts doing mj dances

this is why I didn’t want to go for the opening weekend but that $5 ticket made me be like f*** it lol
