The initial wave of praise was "paid for" yet this review bombing where the reviews don't discuss the film and get the actors names wrong are perfectly fine

Let's see who has the last laugh

yeah that too

Lmfao

T MOBILE TUESDAY

When they had Kai cenat at premiere I knew

Classic
Never watched

This never felt like good story telling it’s a feel good one where people can dance in theaters

has there ever been a good action movie? people wanna know

The only thing this affects is people who were already celebrating a best picture and actor nomination

And miserable movie dorks desperate for it to fail because they blindly follow media narratives

Who wants my t mobile Tuesday to see it for 5 $ I got a list

These music biopics can end forever and nothing of value would be lost

This never looked like the complete story or great storytelling to me from trailers . Just looked like reenactment of some concerts and nostalgia . That’s okay . Not a bad movie to me conceptually it’s just feeding the fans

They're saying the movie is mid unfortunately

It’s just their way of doing a hologram concert

24 hour party people
love and mercy

love these ones

They rewrote and reshot the movie to glaze over controversy

I'm not a big fan of biopic of celebrities in general. Especially Biopics made by family and friends from the person in question. They tend to be Puff pieces, and sanitize any negative aspect of the person as much as possible.

It's difficult to review a biopic without detaching your feelings towards the real life celeb. It'd be different if we're talking about fictional movie and you went "i don't like it because Brad Pitt is a bad person in real life".

From what i see this movie sounds like it largely glosses over the most controversial aspects of MJ's life. And regardless how one feels about it, it is reasonable to find it uncomfortable in jarring to have a movie that glosses over all of that to just praise and celebrate him non stop. Its a reasonable critique to not like the movie it doesn't at least address the controversies with nuisance.

And when part 2 comes out, what will the crying be about then

When the movie was announced everyone said you can't cover MJs life in one film

Because it ends in 1988. The second film covers these things. So it's a f***ing stupid criticism.

And the reviews are rooted in fiction because what they cry about not being depicted never happened

So when part 2 comes out and they moan again that it's sanitised purely for telling the truth, maybe what is going on will become obvious to those blissfully ignorant enough to not see it now

Real for 24 Hour

It’s mad funny cause it was known since last year that it was going to end in the 80s or early 90s before the allegations. Idk why people are up in arms when it was said to be a sequel since the movie itself would be too long
