GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Micitype Pretty Good

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Irishchatter I just wanted to check this out because when I was on YouTube yesterday, I was watching the SEGA video game based on the movie. The video game was tried out by teens and how they reacted. So at the end of the video, I found out that there was a movie that existed and I was dying to check it out since I love Michael Jackson!Anyways I thought the movie was quite good, I love dancing and embarrassingly singing the words out loud to his songs. I have to admit for starters, the rest of the movie was kinda unusual because it was quick with different scenarios with his music. However, my favorite scene would be definitely "Smooth Criminal"! Well duhh, I suppose everyone loved it since it is such a great song of all time! I know the song was over 40 minutes and the original is normally 10 minutes, I wonder if the song was just based only on the movie or was it separate? I tried researching and it seemed to be confusing! Ah well, it doesn't matter, that won't put me off with this song, it is too awesome to ignore!The ending gave me chills with "The Moon is Walking". It was such a great idea to show the men singing away, I wish all movies would do that in their end credits. Michael Jackson was such a great performer and it's depressing that he is not with us today. RIP King of Pop 💟

blythe5050 first i'd like to say to all the naysayers this is a movie review not another chance to take off on the producer. i feel the movie was a fantastic way to create a anthology of his music videos and not created to promote himself. when he made this film he didn't need to promote himself. i think its a great way for all children to be introduced to Michael Jacksons genius mind. it mostly surrounds itself around the music and cinematology of that decade with the claymation and robotic scenes, since its an anthology molded together to give its viewer all his music and videos of that decade,it doesn't need a plot. Michael Jackson' s dance moves are unmatched as always. Rest In Peace Michael , and Thank You .

Steve Pulaski Besides from the seeing the new "This Is It" and saying Im a huge Michael Jackson fan, I thought I would prove it and see a movie he actually did back in his time. "Moonwalker" breaks all rules, laws, and scripts in the film making history. It's completed in a phenomenal fashion all leading up to the highlight of the film. A triumph comic-book texture short entitled "Smooth Criminal" which Ill discuss later.Besides being subject to jokes and media, we need to remember that back in the 80s everyone was into Michael Jackson. So having a movie on him titled by his dance that only a handful knew, Moonwalker. The film is what you would call, a montage of Jackson clips, so Ill have to do separate paragraphs to sort these out so I don't do block writing entirely. Though I may combine some since some are very short.The movie opens with Michael Jackson singing "Main In the Mirror" at a live concert. He is covered in sweat and singing his heart out just to please his fans. Then it cuts to a kaleidoscopic view of MJ's career leading up till 1988. We see early clips of The Jacksons 5. From "ABC" to "Beat It", it's all there.Then we get a short clip of "Bad", entitled "Badder". The kids are amazingly talented, doing back flips, front flips, everything while lip syncing key point of the MJ song. It was sort of unnecessary having this on the tape seeing as I didn't want to see kids sing one of my favorite songs. Sure they were lip syncing, but I would like to see my one of my favorite songs sung by the artist. Not pre "Kidz Bop" it up.Followed by, my favorite of the film, "Speed Demon" which is MJ being bombarded by his fans who are claymation figures. The scene, is overall colorful and very upbeat. MJ acts natural, as if he has done this before (which he probably has). Overall, this is the best thing on the tape, so far."Leave Me Alone" is a heartfelt crowdpleaser, showing MJ dancing in front of a crowd, announcing to everyone who can hear him to, well, leave him alone. It's a catchy tune that is definitely and underrated portion of the film.The next clip, is the main course, and the point of this whole film extravaganza. It is Michael Jackson, playing a superhero trying to stop Mr. Big (Joe Pesci) from drug-dealing crime boss with an army of henchmen. Michael Jackson, at the same time, is protecting Katie, Zeke, and Sean three homeless kids who spy on MJ. After escaping Mr. Big's clutches, MJ goes into the club and begins dancing to "Smooth Criminal" while defeating Big's henchman. Thats all you can say without giving anything away. It is a real standout from the movie and the dance choreography is stunning. Michael is probably the at his most lively stage yet, and not putting himself or dancers into any grueling treatment.Then the last two segments are minor, though serve a purpose. "Come Together" isn't the greatest thing to come out of the tape. It is a little long, but still not awful. "Come Together" is a song originally written and sung by The Beatles being sung by Jackson here. In my opinion it should have stayed sung by The Beatles."The Moon is Walking" and the music video of "Smooth Criminal" closes this heartfelt film. My only complaint is that this movie is unsure of what it wants to be. First, it wants to be a documentary, then it wants to be a compilation of music videos and music clips. It jumps around and at points is confused. But for the most part, "Moonwalker" is a sensational movie that is sure too please MJ's fans.

usersince03 I first saw this when they showed this around easter time 1993/4 and didn't think much of it then, I bought this on DVD last summer when I started getting into Michael Jackson (I liked his music before) and enjoyed it more now I am older. It is a good film but it won't be this classic film like The Sound Of Music, West Side Story, The Wizard Of Oz etc. Michael Jackson as an actor was good and so were the other cast members. There were a disturbing scenes like the little girl Katie getting slapped by the gangster Frankie Lideo who was played by Joe Pesci. The scene that frightened me when I was younger was when Michael turns into a robot. My favourite song on the film was Smooth Criminal I think it was better than Thriller in my opinion.
