MICHAEL (MICHAEL JACKSON BIOPIC) REDDIT REVIEW

With Michael finally hitting theatres, audience reactions have started surfacing across social media, especially on Reddit. Early conversations indicate that the film is receiving a mixed response from viewers, with opinions varying widely among Reddit users.

Taking to Reddit, a user wrote, "Man, screw the critics. This was one of my most anticipated movie of the year, but got a little worried because of the reviews. Just saw it in IMAX, and i'm wondering if they even saw the same movie?! Easily the best musical biopic i've ever seen. I was in tears and smiling through it. The only negative I can think of is that I wanted more! Just give Jaafar and Colman all the awards please!! It truly was like looking at Michael coming back to life. I got my IMAX tickets for tomorrow and Saturday, and can't wait to experience it again. 9/10 easy"

Replying to the review post, another Redditor stated, "I saw it yesterday Tuesday. Me and my family loved it! Ignore the critics, enjoy! I'm planning on seeing it again on next Saturday. The best biopic musical ever!"

A third Reddit user said, "Just came back from the IMAX experience, it's really well crafted and told the story, but it felt rushed and didn't hit many emotional beats. It's a film after all, not a documentary. I felt it must be at about 20 30 mins longer to reach those hits of storytelling."

Another Reddit review reads, "Just saw this this afternoon. Loved it! Want to see it a second time."
