I don't know Michael's personal life, I don't know how he lived or behaved in public. So I'm just going to state what's in this movie.The actor does not look like Michael, his skin is way too dark and the attempts of trying to make his skin lighter for Michael's later years results in him having grey skin. He does however make a good impersonation of Michael vocally.There is no official music by Michael Jackson in any part of this film, so instead of him dancing on stage he is just prancing around on stage pulling faces and flicking his arms out which looks really ridiculous.In this movie Michael is portrayed as a dumb, careless, eccentric, paranoid, naive, troubled guy with a mental disability living in a fantasy world. There's a number of flashback and dream sequences that really don't need to be there.There's a lot of inconsistencies and missing crucial parts of Michaels' life which explain the buildup to certain events, and some events are in the wrong order. There's no showing of his charity works or receiving music awards, the whole movie is just bits and pieces of his assumed personal life which is all over the place.In the end my conclusion is that this is far from being an accurate biography of the King of Pop with most of the story based on assumptions and makes Michael look ridiculous and freakish.

This 'movie' (and i use the term loosely) is a perfect example of all that is wrong with the world! Where do I even start? Firstly, this is a biopic about one of the greatest musicians that ever lived yet it features absolutely none of his music whatsoever. Secondly, the guy playing Michael Jackson didn't look like Michael Jackson.....he looked even less like him after the plastic surgery scene where they smothered his face in talcum powder making him look like.....well, a black man smothered in talcum powder. Towards the end, he looked more like the Joker than Michael Jackson - I was half expecting him, to say 'Why so seriousss'!His voice was sot on in some places,but mostly too deep. Michael Jackson was basically portrayed as a simpleton that constantly acts like a toddler. It was bad (and not bad as in 'good' like the album bad.....bad as in What?? Grrrrr) Elizabeth Taylor was portrayed so badly in this, I had to cringe and watch through my fingers. From the over the top acting to the little round sticker they put on her face to look like a beauty spot. (It didn't, it looked like a little round sticker....because it was) Debbie rowe was way too pretty to be debbie rowe. The only people that were any good in this were the actors playing Michaels parents (but they were hardly in it) and the girl playing Lisa Marie Presley (again, not in it much)and the bloke that played Martin Bashir. Jordan Chandler and Gavin Arvizo both bizarrely had different names in this for no apparent reason (though I'm guessing legal reasons). I don't know if Michael Jackson had the displeasure of viewing this before he died, but I can only assume that if he did, he had his mouth wide open in utter disbelief throughout the entire excruciating 86 minutes.

I remember seeing this film back in 2004 and it was HORRIBLE! Never had I seen such a terrible film in my life. The way Michael was portrayed in this film was stupid, insolent, and disgusting. The actor who portrayed Michael in this film isn't even talented and DOESN'T look a thing like him (before and after the skin colour varying). They paint Michael as being like that B-word Kevin Federline was once married to! (We ALL know who that is.) They make Michael look like he's born with special needs, that he was a himbo (the opposite of a bimbo), self-centred, and basically was a schlub. The way they portrayed the other people in Michael's life was much worst. (Let alone Joe and Kathrine.) Overall, I find this film to be the most insulting and nastiest film ever made! Flex Alexander should be ashame of himself for portraying Michael in such a rude way and as the the director of the film, Allan Moyle. Well he should be ashame of himself too.Hopefully the REAL biopic about MJ will be better and less nasty than this horrible one.

I was looking forward to seeing this movie, although the makeup was terrifying to look at, even in the commercials.But in the end, there's nothing to watch. Hopefully, someone else will make a film about Michael Jackson that's actually good, because this is NOT that film. The direction of the movie is awful, and the dialogue is ridiculous. Because of the bizarre makeup, Michael Jackson appears to be a caricature of himself, rather than as an artist.But even that pales (no pun intended) in comparison of the dialogue. It's so campy and dramatic that it's impossible to take the film seriously. Someone who had no idea of who MJ is would assume that he's a simple, naive, slow man with no concept of reality after watching this film. The sad thing is that you end up LAUGHING during most of the film because it's that silly. Watch "The Jacksons: An American Dream" for a more accurate portrayal of MJ. Don't bother with this mess, unless you want a good laugh.
