Bad and not in a good way....
by Zsa Zsa (USA)
This movie was one of the worst ever. White powder on Flex Alexander's face and his fake Michael Jackson impersonation was so comical, my children laughed through the entire movie. "She doesn't believe in Neverland" is the worst quote of the movie and the most comical ever. A very bad attempt to exploit Mr. Jackson.
1/5
Total Disappointment and BAD ACTING!!! :(
by A. Albert (California)
This TV Movie was suppose to be the follow up to 1993 "The Jacksons: An American Dream".
So I was very excited to watch it, thinking it would have some of the high caliber actors and charm of the previous film. Little did I know how WRONG I would be.
This movie SUCKED!
1.) Flew Alexander (Michael Jackson Actor) Should be ashamed of himself. Disgraceful portrayal of an Afican American Icon and Music Legend. I see why his career as an actor has fallen...
2) It portray's Michael Jackson as a "wimpy or scared" individual. (he was soft spoken and kind; Don't get it confused with weakness)
3.) It has little or NO reference to his Musical Career or Acheivements. (Mostly paints a negative view of his failed marriages and his trial)
4.) The stage make-up and wardrobe was horrible. (Michaels skin looked green rather than his real color that change due to his vitilago)
5.) No "KNOWN" Actors in this film
6.) This film was NOT endorsed by Michael Jackson or the Estate
7.) Though it displays aspects of his later life (kids, trials, and marriage...) they all seem to be out of Chronilogical order.
In all this film was just plain horrible. If you are a BIG MJ Fan please stay away and DONT BUY THIS! It will only upset you and make you want to "kick yourself" for buying it!
Hope this review helps :)
Forever a Fan of Mj!!!

Michael's story
by mj fan
This is a very good movie about Michael Jackson's life. It shows him a little bit as a child. But it mostly starts with his performance at the Mowtown's 25th anniversary. And shows many performances, Neverland Ranch, and goes through his child molestion charges. This is a very good movie for Michael Jackson fans.
1/5
One of the worst films ever made
by Bob Waskiewicz (Wintersville, Ohio United States)
I agree with all the bad reviews on this film.It would have been better if they made it a comedy,like Scary Movie or the airplane movies.
The acting is the worst,and the music is not even close to Michael Jacksons records.
1/5
Do not waste your money!
by Pamela A. White
There aren't enough words to describe how terrible this film was to watch. It was painful, terrible acting, and just and incredible waste of time. If I could rate it 0 stars I really would.
Man in the Mirror - The Michael Jackson Story Summary
Man In The Mirror: The Michael Jackson Story Portrays The Glitz, Glamour, Fame And Scandals Associated With Pop Superstar Michael Jackson Throughout The Years. Without Asserting His Innocence Or Condemning His Guilt, The Film Walks The Fine Line Between Comedy And Drama As It Portrays Jackson's Rise To Fame And Infamy From The Early "thriller" Era To The Scandal Filled Present Day. The Objective Tale Provides A Glimpse Into The Life Of One Of The Most Enigmatic And Extravagant Pop Stars Of Our Time And Tells The Story Of The Man Who Has Enchanted And Baffled The World For The 35 Years.
Flex Alexander's affecting performance in the lead role lifts
Man in the Mirror
, an account of the troubled, turbulent adult life of Michael Jackson. And a grim, melodramatic, and sometimes way over-the-top tale it is, as the film chronicles the litany of catastrophes visited on Jackson since
Thriller
turned him into the self-proclaimed King of Pop. It's all here: the Jehovah's Witnesses' horrified reaction to the supposedly blasphemous "Thriller" video (a disclaimer was added at their behest); the filming of the Pepsi commercial during which Jackson's hair caught on fire; the constant hectoring and bullying by his father, Joseph Jackson, and his subsequent alienation from his family; his many cosmetic surgeries; the debacle that was his marriage to Lisa Marie Presley; the controversial incident when he dangled his newborn son from his Berlin hotel room window; and, of course, the ongoing allegations of child molestation (to their credit, the filmmakers are fairly circumspect about the latter, neither condemning nor exonerating him). Through it all, Alexander plays Jackson as a true innocent, guileless and easily manipulated, wondering how the world can be so wicked ("What's wrong with love?" is a frequent refrain), and yet essentially kind, likable, and devoted to his fans. Alexander has Jackson's voice down, as well as some of his dance moves, and if
Man in the Mirror
contains no actual Jackson songs or realistic performance footage, well, that's life in the low-budget world of made-for-TV movies (it originally aired in 2004 on VH-1).
Man in the Mirror
hardly qualifies as great art, but in the end, it's nothing more, or less, than diverting, voyeuristic good fun.
