would've been a much better film if they didn't jump around the story. Some facts were changed, inaccurate, or ignored. I was hoping to see more of his 1969-1974 years. only 1971 was shown. Key points in his career were ignored such as his decline during disco and his comeback in the 1980s with "Living in America". His second comeback in the '90s after his prison stint was ignored there's just a lot of stuff they didn't mention. I'm figuring it would've made the film too long. The film's story looks rushed at times. they're trying to squeeze in 50 years into a 90min film. so I guess I can understand that. Chadwick is an excellent actor and showed his chops in the film. overall, he came out clearly a winner. he nailed JB's cockiness, swagger, attitude, ego and footwork. NO one can dance like JB so u can't expect him to be exactly like his, but he did his very best. the best concert scene by far is the Paris concert scene even though that was inaccurate as far as the staging of the show, but casual fans won't know the difference only die hards will notice that. Hopefully, a future DVD release will have a lot of extras, deleted scenes, extended scenes and more concert footage. Mr. Boseman is an actor to keep an eye out for.His performance was a 10 while the storyline and direction of the film was a 5.
score 5/10
