my personal critiques:
I don't like the overly crispy/deep fake vibe to settings and characters. but i guess that's a problem for most films being made in 2020s and not just Michael. but when looking at that Beat It still, Jaafar doesn't even look human to me. he looks AI. a hard no.
While I appreciate that this first look on the movie had a funky and carefree feel to it, I am actually expecting a more dramatic narrative and a change in tone for a second trailer.
i think they didn't know what to do with jaafar's appearance at some points. the prosthetics 70s nose was unnecessary and his own nose could do just fine. he also looks like Jermaine a LOT in some scenes only to be forced back into Michael's features at other points
good points:
I like what they did with the mixing of tracks and how WBSS slows down towards the end, that was cool
that close up of his eyes as he looks at himself in the mirror is so beautiful and adds another depth to the trailer
Bad era Michael clearly looks GREAT

Michael Jacksonās story is vast and should be told in three parts, focusing on the behind-the-scenes dynamics of each artistic and personal phase.
Part 1: Would explore the strict family environment under his fatherās control, the backstage of the Jackson 5 tours, creative tensions within The Jacksons, and his journey toward artistic independence during Off the Wall and Thriller, highlighting studio sessions and the making of his iconic music videos.
Part 2: Would dive into the pressures and internal conflicts of the Bad era, the media tension, and the physical demands of the Dangerous and HIStory tours, revealing the behind-the-scenes of recordings, choreography, and creative decisions made under heavy isolation.
Part 3: Would portray the turbulent atmosphere surrounding the Invincible sessions, the emotional and logistical impact of the 2005 trial, and the exhausting preparation for This Is It, exposing the human side behind his perfectionism and the wear of his final years.
