The one that surprised me the most was the young actor that played a juvenile Michael, Juliano Valdi. To portray the emotion and psyche of a young Michael in order to convey to us who young Michael was, I thought he did such a brilliant job.
Jaafar Jackson had the moves and the voice down. The look, however, never once made me go, "Oh! That really looked like a vivid shadow of Michael Jackson himself." Which wasn't that much of an issue, to be honest.
Colman Domingo really portrayed the villain role so perfectly for this movie. Even though I wished the character had more depth into what drove his actions. And I also wished there were more to the other Jackson 5 members, other than being seen as supportive and friendly; which we all know that was not the case at all.
I definitely wished there was more drama, if not that then more of what inspired Michael to write the songs he wrote for the Thriller album. We only got one song's origin story here and that was very, very disappointing.
The making of Thriller, though, to see it in this fashion and to immediately reminsced about the impact that song had on the world, got me teary eyed.
What was Miles Teller doing here though? It was bad enough to get a character that barely had anything to do in the movie, it's worse to get a Miles Teller that didn't care for the role, too. Mike Myers popped though.
