A profound depiction': Michael Jackson fans support divisive biopic as film smashes records
"The movie's Rotten Tomatoes critics' score of a paltry 37%, compared with a 97% audience score is a rare chasm. The Guardian's Peter Bradshaw was one of many who lambasted the Antoine Fuqua-directed film, saying it was bland, bowdlerised and bad, as well as frustratingly shallow."
"I grew up listening to him and my dad was the main fan... We have all of his CDs, pictures, books and vinyls. For the occasion, she was dressed in Jackson's signature Off the Wall album outfit: shiny black shoes with white socks, accented by a black jacket, white button-down shirt and bow tie."
"I had to come see it again, because I thought it was amazing... I think it's put together nicely as a starter for fans to get into him."
The film about Michael Jackson has set a record for the biggest opening weekend for a biopic, surpassing Oppenheimer. Despite its commercial success, the film has received a low Rotten Tomatoes critics' score of 37%, contrasting sharply with a 97% audience score. Critics have described the film as bland and shallow, while many fans remain enthusiastic, expressing their long-standing admiration for Jackson. Fans have shown their support by dressing up for screenings and sharing their personal connections to his music.
