Finally watched Micheal and it was disappointing. Loved Jafaar Jackson as Micheal and some of the other actors but the movie itself didn’t really feel cohesive or like it was much more than a vehicle for micheal jackson songs and nostalgia. 1/2

It reminds me a lot of bohemian rhapsody in the way that the music and performances don’t add to the storyline and are just there for the sake of the music/performance. I think Rocketman is the best musical artist “auto-biographical” movie that I’ve seen bc the music is better incorporated (pls let me know if anyone knows any other good ones tho!). The movie is still worth a watch if you’re a micheal jackson fan tho! (which I am, so I still enjoyed it!)

I wanna say I do like rocketman for more reasons than just the music. It doesn’t force a PG-13 rating onto a rated R lifestyle and doesn’t disrespect any of the real life people, at least not the ones that deserve respect. It tells a cohesive story about elton’s LIFE, not just his career. This is really exemplified by the framing device of him being in rehab, also beginning and ending in rehab. Boho and micheal both end and begin on a performance.

and this is 100% due to elton john being alive to have creative control over how his story was told. It could’ve easily suffered in the same way these other movies suffered if he weren’t around to be involved.
