Bwhahahaha clever kid

I hope they explore Bad era more if this movies doesn't really cover it. Give us a montage at least.

Maybe they will in credits.......?

 

[innuendo141]

I'd bet money that guy is a biased Guilter or MJ hated.
So his "review" is worthless

I think it's 100% safe to assume that anyone who finds the film good but not great is a guilter and a hater.

I can't make up my mind whether this is meant to be Thriller or Bad era, his hair is longer but he still looks Thriller era to me

I think its thriller era cuz mike had longer hair in bad era

Somewhere in between I'd guess. Bad/Victory in the making?

Don‘t you recognize the outfit?
It’s from the cover of the WBSS single…
Definitely full on Thriller era!

yes, the outfit is very WBSS, but I also agree that looks a lot like Bad era.

Neither - it's the "I'll kick everybody's ***s"-era

Thank you for this share

So the Motown 25 performance was filmed at the real location.

Ok, I got goosebumps watching the M25 reenactment. The public gave him a standing ovation in 1983... I would not be surprised if that happened at the cinema too.

 

[SmoothGangsta]

That TV spot with Joe talking was pretty cool

 

[Blues_Away2023]

Motown 25 scene looked phenomenal, Jaafar really is gonna be incredible.

Not the biggest fan of the cutting to the crowd shots though but it’s to be expected I guess and will be more cinematic.

 

[Blues_Away2023]

Hmm, that's an interesting idea... Could it be that instead of recreating songs from the Bad era, they have included Bad era footage at the end in a real life montage instead?

It won’t happen but how bad ass would it be for them to include the brace yourself teaser as a way to acknowledge that whatever Joe thought , Michael was indeed better off alone and a much bigger star.

It would be like a big Fck You to Joe.

It's a recreation of the M25 broadcast

I disagree... I consider showing the crowd, their reactions, emotions, facial expressions etc. an essential part in showcasing how people perceived Michael's performance. I hope they included very loud crowd scenes.
