Jayla Ray I love the idea of having to write a movie based on some events that happened during his solo career but however, the way it came out is horribleFlex is an incredible actor. Making him play a part as a superstar like Michael wasn't the best choice. When Michael's skin disorder (if that's how you want to put it) took over his entire body, it's like they threw powder sugar on flex and continued filming. I skipped through the entire movie because I didn't like the way it started. Joseph wasn't cold and heartless. He was strict about his work but still loved the boys. Michael didn't have two surgeries, he only had one and that was on his nose. That didn't change anything about him. Prince is the oldest out of him and Paris. Why did Paris look older. I wonder if Michael saw this because if I was him, I would've been truly disappointed.

Richard Paynter Just accidentally caught this on some cheap, free 'cable channel'. Hilarious. If anyone has ever seen Star Stories, the British satire on celebrity, then they will enjoy this appalling attempt at entertainment. For starters, Michael Jackson was about 5'9", not 6'3" as portrayed by the far- too-butch actor Flex Alexander. He was also a creme colour, not green! The producers ought to have solicited the talent of some impersonator. This film made even Jurassic Shark look good, which is saying something. In other words, I highly recommend watching this if you roll in drunk one evening and want a giggle for a bit... BELIEVE!!!!! Shamone!

Angus T. Cat I stumbled across "Michael Jackson" it on the True Movie Channel- it started after "the Sonny and Cher Story" ended. From the first minute I was hooked. The faces staring into the camera, the beautiful woman playing Diana Ross whispering, "You're going to be a star, Michael! Follow your heart!" Surreal! The guy who plays Michael is gorgeous and he has great hair. The make up department goes a good job with his nose and its slimming but handles his later skin tone by slapping some white pancake makeup on him. The actress who plays Lisa Marie is cute as a button and makes their relationship convincing. "Liz Taylor" has a British accent, a fantastic beauty mark, and low rent costumes. The budget for the location shooting evident ally was tight, and included to taking the cast to a butterfly farm: the same butterfly poses on character visiting Neverland in three different sequences that are meant to take place in years apart. One of the best scenes is Michael in the rehab clinic listening to the stories of the people around him, and exclaiming, "How real!" This movie is BRILLIANT for a wet cold weekend afternoon. Realistic it isn't, but it works wonders with what it has. It brought back ton of memories for me. It still makes the audience think about Michael Jackson with sympathy. It could be he innocently just wanted to share love, and wanted his fans and friends to believe in Neverland.

sfnprincess81 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.
