Michael Jackson Biopic Slammed by Critics

0:00It's April 22nd. From Hollywood to your headphones, this is entertainment and celebrity news. Today, powered by AI, I'm Cory with the story. The Michael Jackson biopic titled Michael had everyone hyped with his nephew, Jaffa Jackson, playing the King of Pop and in Tuan Fuqua, calling the shots as director. Trailers and promo built it up like a surefire hit. But early critic reviews just tanked that vibe hard. It all started with massive buzz from the family tie-in and slick marketing that screamed to blockbuster potential. Fans were ready to relive the legends highs and lows on the big screen. Now critics are ripping it apart online, slamming it as shallow like a quick wiki skim, painfully dull, and way too cleaned up. That dropped the rotten tomato score to just 31%, a real gut punch. With the movie dropping in theaters any day now, word of mouth could shift things, but those first takes have slashed expectations big time. Still, die hard fans might pack seats anyway.
