Summary
Critics are denouncing the new Michael Jackson biopic 'Michael' for inaccurately depicting Neverland Ranch with much more impressive amusement park rides than actually existed. The film shows high-velocity roller coasters and extreme rides that critics say misrepresent the reality of the ranch's modest attractions, which were reportedly no better than a roadside carnival. The criticism frames this as a 'whitewashing' of the actual conditions at Jackson's estate.
