"Michael" traces the stratospheric rise of Michael Jackson, from standout member of the Jackson 5 as a wildly talented child to becoming the King of Pop in the '80s with the "Thriller" album. Jackson's nephew, Jaafar Jackson, perfected his speaking voice and dance moves to play the role. And the music remains iconic, of course. But is the movie itself any good? We go in-depth in our review. Antoine Fuqua directs from a script by John Logan. Co-starring Colman Domingo, Nia Long and Miles Teller. In theaters April 24.
