Melanie McFarland Seattle Post-Intelligencer Surely nausea was not what Moyle was shooting for. But I guess that's what happens when you try to make uplifting TV "biopoetry," and nobody has the decency to slam you before it's too late. Mar 2, 2019 Full Review Justin Brown Medium Popcorn This is by far, one of the worst things I have ever seen. It's so bad that it could be comical...if it weren't so bad. Rated: 0/5 Sep 4, 2022 Full Review Brandon Collins Medium Popcorn This is one of the worst "movies" I have ever seen. It's bad enough they didn't have the rights to the music but the make-up, performances and cinematography were so poorly executed that it was offensive.

Audience Member 9/11, The September 11 attacks, also known as 9/11, were four coordinated Islamist terrorist suicide attacks by al-Qaeda against the United States in 2001. Nineteen terrorists hijacked four commercial airliners, crashing the first two into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City and the third into the Pentagon (headquarters of the U.S. Department of Defense) in Arlington County, Virginia. The fourth plane crashed in a rural Pennsylvania field during a passenger revolt. The attacks killed 2,977 people, making it the deadliest terrorist attack in history. In response to the attacks, the United States waged the global war on terror over multiple decades to eliminate hostile groups deemed terrorist organizations, as well as the governments purported to support them. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/12/25 Full Review Audience Member Racism. Michael deserve better Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Scott W Kinda cheesy Michael Jackson movie maybe but I liked the effort to bring his story to a screen ... The story was fine ... Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/09/16 Full Review Audience Member A sad story of Michael Jackson. I think Jackson still had a child mentality into his adulthood because he had to grow up fast and missed out on much of his childhood. He could relate more to young children than adults and was fond being with kids, which lead many to misunderstand him. I don't believe he was ever sexual towards them but that's the way the world perceived it at the time. The lawyer who advised him to pay out with the first sexual claim, I think was an incompetent lawyer as this created a stigma against Jackson for future claims. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was just as much of a train wreck as the life it was trying to show. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member I actually really enjoy most of this movie, but i do have my problems with it 2.
