Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

rat_202 I remember my grandmother buying me this as a small boy. I watched it so much I nearly wore out the tape! Sadly, time has not been kind to it. The whole bunny rabbit claymation scene is tedious and the re-imagining of the Bad video with children is just... bad. Then there's the utterly ludicrous story, written by Jackson himself, where he turns into a car, a robot and a spaceship, with a rather embarrassing Joe Pesci performance. Michael Jackson was the biggest star in the world by far in the 80's. Otherwise, this nonsense would NEVER have been green-lit. So, why do I now own the DVD? Two words. Smooth Criminal. That sequence is for me the pinnacle of his 'short films.' Yes, I've seen Thriller but I'll still take Smooth Criminal every time. The insane choreography, the music, the dancing... Who hasn't tried to do THAT lean? Jacko's writing and acting might have been lacking, but man, the guy could move. When I had it on VHS, it was my favourite part of the movie. Now it's the only part I watch. I do like the video for Leave Me Alone, though. Michael pretty much revolutionised music vids in the 80's, and this is one of his lesser known but very original videos. If, like me, you can remember the glory days of Michael,and were a big fan, then by all means revisit this. If not, move along sharply.

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 💟

Rodrigo Amaro "Moonwalker" is often called as a motion picture but in reality is a mix between a nonsense movie with a collection of Michael Jackson's video clips. There's no classic beginning, barely has a middle but certainly it has an ending and it's very similar to the beginning: a MJ live performance. As a video collection with all the best clips of MJ it goes very admirably; but as a film it gets trapped in a never ending and confusing story where things happen for no reason specifically.The montage with excerpts of Jackson's clips is very good to watch leaving the audience expecting for more. Then it all ends and some kids appears on the screen acting on the clip of "Bad" and that evolves to the movie's plot. Michael playing himself has to stop the sinister plans of Mr. Big (Joe Pesci, poor guy) a evil creature that wants to conquer the world and transform the kids into drug addicts. Towards the end of the movie Jackson will be transformed (out of the blue) into a robot just like the Power Rangers.Jackson's fans will love the whole material but the movie aficionados will not enjoy that much specially if they think that this is not a musical film (which is supposed to be and it could have been a great one if it have a plot). The visual concept is good in some points (during the edition of all MJ's clips), but in another moments is just silly and ridiculous (MJ being transformed in a crazy rabbit and the creatures that follow him in a Hollywood studio). One particular scene has more impact now than when it was made 20 years ago. When Michael disappears in a spaceship up in the sky and the kids starts to cry, saying things like "We miss you Michael" and "Come back". He returns to the joy of all the kids. It was more sad to see this now that he's gone and he'll never return again. But he lives through his songs and in this movie and in a few others. 3/10

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.
