Michael Jackson biopic hits theaters

Directed by Antoine Fuqua, 'Michael' has already set box office records overseas and earned a 96% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.

While fans have praised the electrifying concert sequences and Jaafar Jackson's transformative performance, critics argue the film offers a sanitized version of the pop star's life.

Reports indicate that scenes addressing the 1993 allegations were removed during costly reshoots due to legal restrictions.

The biopic's release has reignited global debates over Jackson's legacy and the challenges of the musical biopic genre.
