I'm also in Paris, primarily responsible for this shit. It's your damn father, fine that you have problems with estare or whatever, but get your damn ass in gear and stop being so negative about it. Of course the press picks up on this kind of thing. Your cousin and your brother are also involved, as is Janet, who keeps her mouth shut. I’m so angry right now And what about the damned press? There were no child abuse scandals until 1984, and the film only goes up to that point. I hate this world. We won't break the billion mark.

*It was 1993 by the way, not 1984.

Because they want MJ to be seen as a monster. I actually just saw a critic from "Kaleidoscope News" (hope I spelled this correctly) admit that they think MJ is guilty and want the movie to flop big time.

Is this what people consider objectivity? I'm supposed to take reviews like this seriously?
 
Nothing involving Jordan Chandler or his family’s allegations remain in the final movie. These scenes had to be removed after attorneys for the Jackson estate realized there was a clause in the settlement that blocked the depiction or mention of Chandler in any movie. Gone was the original opening depicting the police raid on Neverland Ranch, which Fuqua teased to The New Yorker by saying: “I shot [Michael] being stripped naked, treated like an animal, a monster.”

“When I hear things about us — Black people in particular, especially in a certain position — there’s always pause,” Fuqua said, with The New Yorker noting the filmmaker “was skeptical of some of the accusers’ parents, particularly Chandler’s father, who was recorded threatening to insure that Jackson was ‘humiliated beyond belief.'”
While Fuqua stressed he didn’t know the truth behind the allegations made against Jackson over the years, he noted that “sometimes people do some nasty things for some money.”

‘Michael’ Director Antoine Fuqua Questions Some Michael Jackson Allegations: ‘Sometimes People Do Nasty Things for Some Money’

'Michael' director Antoine Fuqua is skeptical over allegations of child abuse made against Michael Jackson.

Second Best launching of the year 2026 in ( Paris ( France ) during the first showings in theaters ( behind Super Mario Galaxy ).
90% of the time it s a good indicator if the movie will be a success or not.
Currently, It did better than Marsupilami, a movie that sold 6 millions tickets here in France. Mario Galaxy has already sold more than 4 millions theaters tickets.

I hope these scenes aren't removed for Part 2, even if they need to change a few things to get around this supposed clause. Beyond getting the truth out there, these scenes would be the necessary emotional punches to the gut for new viewers who connect with this Michael and his journey up to the end of Part 1.

EDIT: Investors, you got your bag with this Part 1 re-work; give Fuqua full control and the final cut for Part 2.

This should not be a spoiler so let's just get this out there.. The movie goes beyond the Victory tour, it ends in the timeframe where most are expecting.


Now, how it ends is where would throw people off. Not storyline wise, but the teaser and trailer gives an impression of something that makes people expect something that they'll actually have to wait for. Vague I know - but I must.

Now that people are seeing the movie, my old post (above) should make more sense to you guys.

A handful of my older posts will make sense now.
 
Just saw the movie.

Did we really expect the media & critics to celebrate with us? To celebrate Michael?

No. We didn’t. Because we really couldn’t!
They had their reviews written before they saw the film.

What we can do is go out in droves.
Show up again and again!

Go see this movie.
It’s a celebration of Michael.
It’s a good movie, which gives you early 80‘s MJ rise to success, struggles with his father..

IMHO the movie has earned our support.

And certainly MJ has earned our support!

F*ck the media & critics!
Maybe search for the measured and fair reviews that are out there if you want!
Go support this movie!

MICHAEL is more than just a biopic; it’s also about the moment the white establishment in pop music was overtaken by the star power of a Black singer for the first time.Read our ★★ ★★ review of MICHAEL:

Our ★★★★ review of MICHAEL
Michael is a blast at the movies, pure fun that King of Pop fans will absolutely adore. The score is excellent, and you can’t get enough of the soundtrack because it’s basically wall-to-wall Michael...https://x.com/GlobalBoxOffice/status/2046256215718502855
