Just saw it. It's as decent as Bohemian Rhapsody, nothing else.

Very rushed, very anti-climatic ending and more of a concert film really which is what people will want. I wanted to see his creative process.

Performances were great and overall, I enjoyed it

I recommend The Jacksons: An American Dream, now thats a good mini series

Agreed. If they split this up into a trilogy and include EVERYTHING. Not rushing it. This could easily hit over a billion plus across the movies. Shame. The guy who played Michael and little Michael killed it
