Michael - The Film 2026

[BeigeandGreige]

Wanted to start a thread about the new Michael Jackson film, just got home from watching it!

I don’t know why the critics are slating it, I absolutely loved it! Yes, it didn’t show his whole life picture but I think people are forgetting this was just showing one era of it … there is no way you could fit his life story into a 2 hour film!

What’s your thoughts if you’ve seen it ???

The film has currently made $738 million around the world so no surprise that a sequel is in the works:

There has to be a sequel. The film is only part 1 and says TBC at the end! That was always the plan, regardless of how it did at the box office.

The movie doesn't even hit Japan until next month. I reckon it'll get to a billion then 😃

Saw it yesterday and loved it.

What evidence was overwhelming considering he was found not guilty in a court of law?

I keep seeing the same lies repeated on here about the drawing of his genitals matching whereas the police report clearly states Jordan claimed Michael was circumcised and he was not. I also find it interesting that Jordan refused to testify twice, refused to take part in leaving Neverland, cut all ties with his parents and filed for emancipation from them in 1994 and his dad committed suicide a few months after Michael died, Jordan did not attend the funeral.

Give me evidence that is fact, not the same rumours repeated over and over. The court files are available for anyone to read if they really want to. It shows that Gavin claimed to be abused on specific dates that Michael

Not sure why half my post disappeared there.

It shows that Gavin claimed to be abused on specific dates that Michael wasn’t at Neverland and this was proven by flight logs and tour schedules. It also showed that Gavins mum had a history of financial exploitation and she was in fact charged with welfare fraud after the trial. This is why he was found not guilty, there was no evidence he had done anything a lot of evidence that the ‘victims’ were lying.

And what fountain of knowledge oh wise one,do you have that wasn't presented at the trial? What do you know that they didn't? 🙄Let's hear it 🤔

If you're a fan I'm sure you're already aware of the mountain of circumstantial evidence that this man was a perverted creep and you're choosing to ignore it, so not much point me repeating it here.

And the evidence up to 2005 went really well for the prosecution, didn’t it?

There isn’t a “‘mountain of circumstantial evidence” even 21 years on.

Exactly. I can’t watch a film about him. Gross.

A 50 year old man, with no real history of adult sexual relationships, sleeping in a bed with young boys, even after he has been accused more than once of sexual abuse of young boys?

Nothing to see there.

It will easily get there, it’s now made $846 million. Moving into the billion dollar box office territory also means it will be one of the top 50 biggest films in history.

That's amazing. It's still filling up seats here 😃 Going to squeeze in a 6th visit sometime this week 😃

He was found not guilty on all charges by a jury…

Wrong. He had a sexual relationship with his second wife, Lisa Marie Presley.

It's incredibly well done so it deserves it tbh.

Yes I'm sure their 20 month marriage was a normal healthy relationship..

I thought Lisa Marie was his first wife (and Debbie Rowe was his second)?

Sorry - yes I meant first wife.

So she was lying about what she wrote about him in her book?

I'm sure I'd believe her more than some random person on this thread who thinks they know better 😂
