I have the same kind of feeling. It's not to criticize Jaafar's play, it's just an odd feeling I always have with impersonators as it is impossible to copy Michael, even for the best.Okay, I finally watched it. One time so far. And I am writing this without looking at the other comments, I don't want to get influenced (yet).
Overall it looks pretty nice and I am sure at the cinema it will be very cool.
But...I always have the problem that I can't take it when someone else plays Michael. And that's nothing against Jaafar, I am sure he did an incredible job and really put his heart and soul into the movie. I just look at it and think "aaah, nah...no, that's not...naaah". Can't explain...can someone understand me? Well, have to watch it more often, but I think that won't change. Had the same issue at the musical.
And I was kinda more impressed by the teaser.

Because grainy is harder to watch I imagine ... I need a criminally smooth, crystal clear imageWhy is that? I don't understand, maybe too early in the morning
It's common to add some noise/grain to films, series and photos. I don't necessarily think they look older if you do that, just more realistic and like better quality.

No, normally it's just a little overlay or maybe also naturally given, depending on the camera settings. It's very subtle, but effective. Without it, a film/show/photo looks very ..."plastic" and doesn't feel natural. You know it when you see itBecause grainy is harder to watch I imagine ...

Jafaar is giving Jermaine more than Michael to me. Sigh - still I look forward to the music in the theatres. We don't get MJ shows on this side of the world so will have to make do. Miss you forever, Michael! Nothing and nobody else will ever compare.

Okay I am gonna say it too and it is no disrespect to anyone or any Jackson, I am just saying all I see is Jermaine's child, Jermaine's face, Jermaine's movements it is sooo hard to see Michael in him but he was raised around Uncle Mike often enough, so he should be the perfect king uncle MJ Student clone, and he had to train his Jaffarian booty off to even try to attempt this feet of standing in those royal tips for real!

There was a perfect poster already. Such a wasted opportunity.

and that’s what the film gives off ….it feels fake/plastic and too modern.No, normally it's just a little overlay or maybe also naturally given, depending on the camera settings. It's very subtle, but effective. Without it, a film/show/photo looks very ..."plastic" and doesn't feel natural. You know it when you see it
The CGI shots at at Wembley look like it’s from a computer game
.I honestly think this film looks trash. It’s too polished , doesn’t feel authentic, every character looks plastic, even Branca looks like he’s been smothered in poor makeup and a bad wig.
It just doesn’t feel like an authentic period drama , comes across as generic mush that has little substance on the inside.
It actually looks boring!! and Michael’s life was not boring.
