Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
the audience applauded
It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Overall an average film at best. I think they left out all kinds of tidbits concerning the last few years of his life. Acting was fairly solid and the guy that played Michael was pretty good. Story could have been deeper though. Anyway would I recommend it? Meh... Take it or leave it.
messy, uneven, poorly edited, at times laughable. honestly I don't know why people are rating this so highly, everything in this film is basic TV Movie fodder especially the script. A subject about MJ should be taken seriously, as it was to a point, but the poor script, the poor direction, and acting from so many actors that I can't really put the fault on them solely, they did after all show up to work! But this actor who plays MJ, Navi, must only work as a MJ impersonator, and not a good one at that, as every time he spoke, his English accent broke through distracting us. Its not his fault either, he ONLY does MJ and can't actually act. This is shocking as England is a place that has amazing talented actors in every show able to do any accent convincingly. Not so here. The production also is at fault, having literally nothing to work with, especially MJ's music, and really only afforded Bobby Brown's "My Prerogative". The editing was literally all over the place, one moment we're sad and stressed then CUT right to the family at a go cart track. I'm not going to give this high marks like everyone else who thought this was an amazing film, they are all misguided. They miss MJ, that's why they rate this so highly. I feel a documentary based on these security guys are what is needed, not a sappy TV movie.Also, WTF was MJ doing on a 'date' with some girl and couldn't go out into a bar? seriously? so many scenes like that were in the film that take you out of the story its pointless.
When I found out this film was being made I was so excited! I have been to a few of Navi's shows and we have spoken a few times and he is outstanding at what he does and I am so proud to be a part of the Michael Jackson Fandom. I knew Navi would be perfect for playing the role of Michael as he is the Number 1 world's best MJ impersonator (so he should be!) and I know there are other moonwalkers that go against some impersonators, and I have seen some go against this film because of mainly voice and appearance of Navi and also saying that the film made Michael appear "crazy" - that was NOT the case. Yes Navi has a British accent but that shouldn't matter, he is very talented and he played the part perfectly with really good intentions for the love of Michael and keeping his legacy alive and showing the world what Michael's last years of his life was like. Navi's appearance is amazing in this film! even when he does his shows! me and my mum are outstanded. This film was upsetting because of what Michael went through, for example: not being able to go out, and also when him and the body guards, nanny and the kids were at the swimming pool and Michael saw a camera (which wasn't connected) but he got so upset and scared because he didn't want anyone to capture his children's appearance. It is so sad that Michael felt this way, being in debt, being scared about performing, no longer having Neverland as his escape and loving home because of the situations that were accused against him, everything Michael went through, all the stress, and also being alone. People saying how much of a great friend Michael was but didn't even show up to Paris' birthday, it is heartbreaking. Such a powerful film. Makes me cry each time I watch it. It's upsetting because that man deserved so much more, he deserved privacy, he deserved love and safety. He passed away shortly before the THIS IS IT tour, most likely due to loneliness and stress, as well as Conrad Murray (don't get me started). This film really links to what Michael has been through.So powerful, and I support and respect all the effort that everyone has made to make this film a success. It is an amazing film and I shall be watching it constantly.I am so proud of everyone. Also to Navi - he done an outstanding job, I feel no other impersonator could have done any better. Don't listen to the haters, it was all perfect! xox
I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Navi was outstanding in his acting debut as Michael and was more realistic than many others I've seen in other documentaries etc. The story line was great. It was lovely to see the relationship between Michael and his security. It was also great to see Michaels sense of humour as well as his vulnerability. Navi's portrayal of the vulnerable and upset Michael was touching and brought a tear to my eyes. His relationship with his children was amazing and his protectiveness towards them. I would love to see Hollywood produce a blockbuster movie on MJ now. You have the best actor for the part as his singing and dancing is second to none and it's difficult to tell the difference between Michael and Navi if you are just listening to the track. This film was more of a success for the USA than many others about Michael. You've found your Michael in Navi. Let us all relive the King of Pop through him.
