8/10
overall very good!

I enjoyed this documentary very much, but I do wish that they payed more of his demos and unreleased songs. I loved seeing the new footage and HD Victory Tour footage. I wish they talked less and just showed him more. It was very good though, and I feel like it was just as good as Spike Lee's: Michael Jackson's Journey From Motown to Off The Wall.

I also wish that they discussed PYT and Lady In My Life. I also want to point out that I didn't learn anything new from this documentary, but it was still nice to see the footage of him talking. At least the MJ estate put some effort in! Solid documentary and I enjoyed it!!

I LOVED this documentary. The only con for me was i feel like they didn't talk about the Motown days enough, i wish they spent another 30 mins talking about it and showing more footage from the early 70s. I loved this documentary though and the clips they used were in great quality! I wish John Legend wasn't in it though, i cant stand him.

not factual/lacking evidence

I'm someone who grew up believing the allegations because it's what everyone in the media, and my family told me. Just this year, i started looking into the cases (i looked at court documents, watched how he interacted with kids, watched interviews from all views and documentaries from both sides and i can safely say i believe he's innocent now.

This was the last documentary i watched about the allegations and it increased my belief he was innocent even more. There are so many errors in this, and i'll give some of them here: -half the dates they said they were "molested" at neverland, MJ was actually on tour in completly different countries.

-one of the dudes said he was abused in the katherine train station in neverland, but according to the date he said it happened, the train station wasn't even there.

-james's mom said when MJ died she "danced for joy", but james said his mom didn't know about the molesting until 2019-10 years after his death.

-they mentioned other dudes who were "abused by michael" but the dudes spoke out afterwards and said they never gave the creators of this documentary permission to use their names and that they were never abused.

-if you compare what wade and his mother said in their disposition in 2016, the stories are very different compared to the ones in this.

-in the 2016 disposition wades mother claimed that wade went on the trip to the grand canyon.

-and many more inconsistencies.

I wasn't impressed by this documentary at all. If u want to learn more about allegations, i recommend watching Square One, it's about the 1993 allegations. All the other allegations always build on what the first allegations said.
