As noted in the headline, I didn’t like this movie. Not to say it’s the worst thing ever, but it’s just…meh. Nothing much to it. Very generic. No surprises. At the very least, the cast is diverse so I’ll give it that.

It is not hard to make a musical biopic that pleases audiences and draws a profit. Michael is no exception.
Gritty and bleak are the best words to describe this film. There’s nothing happy about it.
