Critics have delivered a harsh verdict on Antoine Fuqua's Michael Jackson biopic Michael, landing it a 38% Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer score from 214 reviews just days after its April 24 release, branding it a sanitized "greatest hits" reel that sidesteps the icon's controversies and child abuse allegations. While Jaafar Jackson's uncanny portrayal earns praise, outlets like Variety and The Guardian decry its hagiographic blandness amid familiar biopic tropes. Contrasting sharply, audiences have embraced it with a record 97% score from over 10,000 verified ratings, powering the biggest musical biopic opening ever at $97 million domestic. With reviews still trickling in, traders eye potential minor fluctuations before scores stabilize, underscoring the classic critic-fan divide in celebrity biopics.
