The new Michael Jackson biopic is out this week, but it’s been met with largely negative reviews. Taj Jackson, responding to the criticism, has publicly told reviewers they were wrong and will have to admit it.
Ever since they announced the Michael movie, it’s been non-stop drama! Honestly, people are upset about both what the film shows and what it doesn’t show. As a fan, it’s tough to watch because it feels like everyone has a different idea of what the movie should be.
Colman Domingo, who portrays Michael’s father Joe in the film, recently discussed why Michael never addressed the accusations of sexual abuse made against him.
Michael Jackson’s daughter, Paris, has strongly criticized the new movie about her father, saying it contains many falsehoods. However, just before the film was released, Michael’s nephew, Taj, spoke out to support it.
Taj Jackson tells Michael critics to “eat crow”
Reviews for Michael were released earlier this week, and most critics didn’t like it. The BBC described it as a “boring and poorly made TV movie.”
Empire called it uninspired, IndieWire found it polished but bland and unexpectedly boring, and IGN bluntly labeled it ‘terrible’.
The film received mostly negative reviews, resulting in a 38% rating on Rotten Tomatoes as of today. However, yesterday critics rated it even lower, which led the child of Tito and Delores Jackson to publicly respond on social media.
The media no longer dictates how Michael Jackson is remembered. Now that the public can see this film, they’ll form their own opinions, and that’s something the media can’t control – and it seems they’re not happy about it.

Taj Jackson is pushing back against how the media has portrayed his uncle, Michael Jackson. He believes the new movie will allow the public to form their own opinions, and he suggests the media is worried about losing control of the story.
He continued by playfully mocking film critics, saying he looked forward to seeing them admit they were wrong, and that he wouldn’t hesitate to enjoy their discomfort.
