Michael
Coming: 2027Runtime: —
The upcoming sequel to the Michael Jackson biopic 'Michael' has intensified the ongoing debate between fans and critics. The Lionsgate film, directed by Antoine Fuqua, has been a box office success, grossing over $423 million globally. However, it holds a stark contrast in reception, with a 97% fan approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes but only a 38% critical score. The film, which ends in 1988 due to legal issues, has drawn criticism for its portrayal of Jackson's life, including sensitive topics like child abuse allegations. Fans have expressed frustration with critics, arguing that the film's narrative was altered and that its reception is unfairly compared to other music biopics like 'Bohemian Rhapsody' and 'Rocketman'.
