Michael (2026) review – the Michael Jackson biopic directed by Antoine Fuqua and starring Jaafar Jackson. Does this highly anticipated music biopic live up to the King of Pop?

In this review, we break down the performances, story, pacing, and why this film is a mixed bag. It’s incredibly entertaining, fast-paced, and packed with iconic music—but the story feels surface-level and plays it safe.

Is Michael worth watching or just another standard musical biopic?
