Is MICHAEL actually any good? In this video, I break down the latest musical biopic centered on Michael Jackson and his rise from the Jackson 5 to global superstardom. With so many music biopics hitting theaters lately, this one had a lot riding on it—but does it live up to the hype?

I dive into the performances from Jaafar Jackson and Colman Domingo, the storytelling choices, and whether the film captures the emotional depth behind the icon. While there are some impressive moments (especially in the musical sequences), the film also feels like it’s holding back in key areas.

We also talk about the decision to split this story into multiple parts, and whether that ultimately helps or hurts the overall experience. Is this a satisfying first chapter, or does it feel incomplete?

If you’re a fan of movie reviews, biopics, or just want to know if MICHAEL is worth your time, I’ve got you covered.
