adisan-13787 A very good song , underrated to my mind. There is a short version on the internet, the original is the best, Michael Jackson does not try to overdo it, and I find this song really good. Everything is perfect, the rhythm, the dance moves, the plot is cool too. It has this dark style which I really like, the climax of the video is really good. The children dancing outside, the plot is not focused on Michael Jackson as the other characters are really active too. I would like to find better songs of Michael Jackson as I literary hated all of his other videos-clips. For once, he is not in the center of the action, and it makes me wonder why does he not do that more often?

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 💟

RainDrop DZ I am not here to write a review, I am here to express an emotion that I felt while watching the "Moonwalker".Michael Jackson's Moonwalker is not a story with a plot and a happy/sad ending. This is a personal thought expressed through art. Michael's introverted personality would urge him at times to express his views and personal feelings through featuring films, along with lyrics and music composition. The Moonwalker is an idea that has been exposed; it is one of Michael's manifold forms of expressing his inner, childhood and unexplored-yet world.If you expect to watch a well scripted "movie", then the Moonwalker will disappoint you.A personal connection to Michael, as a man who struggled deeply and inside, would get you to see the language of expression he chose for the Monwalker: selected songs from his up-to-1988 discography, cartoon characters which, in my opinion, are selected mindfully, a chained short sequencing to transition between songs/clips and, Michael's known trait; the magic of shooting stars, kids, fantasies of transformation from a human to something else (I won't give spoilers!). Escapism, fantasy, magic, excitement and lots of fun and anticipation are used in the Moonwalker to tell the audience: "Hey! This is me, Michael Jackson, offering a little piece of what is going on inside my head and heart, for so long. I may not express it all too well, but I invite you all to come to terms of who is Michael Jackson, the human being, full of dreams and visionary images."I loved the Moonwalker because it simply allowed me to read Michael Jackson through a somewhat different artistic medium - movie; an artist with a unique expressed language, and lots of inner doubts and insecurities (I guess we all have those!!).In Michael Jackson's ideal world, we are all invited to fight the good fight, i.e. peacefully, using art. His way to "change the world" starts from changing the man - he. He might very well tried to say: "I found my inner call - music and dancing - to change the world, what about you?" But then, just as magical as the man has been, he wouldn't express anything explicitly and would trust the audience intelligence to read the message on their own. Michael Jackson's mission would not show you how to "moonwalk" in life, instead, it would probably inspire you to start walking your own journey.I have been MJ's life time fan. He has inspired me so deeply at a very early age to learn English, for the love of his songs. I have learned every word, every verb, every preposition, adjective, adverb and sentence structure just in hopes to understand what he was saying! But as I got over the surface of the language he uses - English - I realized that MJ's powerful language was not English, it was Love to ALL. May your soul rest in Peace - the true King of music and hearts.

Atli Hafsteinsson If I were to take a trip back to my childhood, the aptly-named "Moonwalker", the brainchild of Michael Jackson, would be one of the prominent stops. Even back when I wasn't necessarily an MJ fan (I am now), this movie captured my imagination. Rather than a whole, cohesive movie, it's a collection of mini-films, for the most part well-woven together. The first part is a performance of "Man in the Mirror". The second is a retrospective on Michael Jackson's career, with clips from his music videos and performances from his early career to his "Bad" days (which is the era when the movie was made, and it shows). The third is a re-enactment of the "Bad" video by a younger counterpart of the cast. The fourth part is a mini-movie which features Michael Jackson escaping from maniacal fans and press by racing a motorcycle as a rabbit-man and eventually doing a dance duel with him (you really need to see it to believe it). The fifth is a video for "Leave Me Alone", and the sixth and final part is a noir/sci-fi film where Michael and three young kids on the streets who have befriended him try to escape a drug lord (Joe Pesci) who wants Michael's head after the latter discovers his plans to get all kids addicted to drugs."Moonwalker" never made it to theatres in the US (it did, however, in Europe and South America), but that didn't stop the VHS release to be sold in over 800,000 copies within a year of the movie's release. It is a truly engrossing trip through the imagination of the legendary musician/entertainer. While many musicians have tried their hands at film-making and only succeeded at showing that they have no talent at it, Michael Jackson surprises. Not only does he show that he has as much feel for staging and visual storytelling as he has for music, he manages to make this movie his own, weaving into both the collage and story some truly imaginative moments.Take the midway point, where we sort of hit the "present". The "Bad" video is reenacted by younger actors, in a truly hilarious but nonetheless competent spectacle. After that, Michael Jackson emerges onto the 'streets' of Hollywood and is hounded by an assortment of stark-raving-mad, claymated fans and press. An attempt by a humoured Michael to escape his chasers ensues, but as he finds out, trying to hide out in Hollywood studios (especially when you're Michael Jackson) is about as easy as hiding the punch at a banquet.But his way out of this situation is possibly my favourite part of the movie. Disguising himself as a leather-clad rabbit man, he manages to escape the studios on a bicycle, which transforms into a motorcycle. At this point "Speed Demon" kicks in as the rabbit-man drives at breakneck speed down the highway, ocean and sky. And still the relentless fans and media are hot on Michael's tail, his disguise not fooling them. This all makes up a truly stunning piece of claymation, both excellently-paced and delicious to behold. Driving out into the desert, Michael takes off his disguise only to have the rabbit disguise reanimate itself, and the two do the best dance duel I've ever seen. It's especially stunning to see the claymated rabbit dance like MJ, and Will Vinton and co (who were responsible for the claymation segment, while Michael himself is live-action) truly deserve an applause for this as well as Michael.Following is the video for "Leave Me Alone", a truly imaginative, satirical portrait of the mass hysteria the media attribute to Michael. Michael humorously visualises this as an amusement park constructed on top of him, while a miniature version of him goes through a has-to-be-seen-to-be-believed tour, frequented by lots of dogs in suits. This video may feel like a filler but its imagination and vision more than make up for it.This is when the 'movie' itself begins. My favourite part is when Michael steps into a 30s-style club and "Smooth Criminal" kicks in, resulting in a truly artistic music-video sequence, climaxing in the middle, when the music dies and the club-goers chant, for almost a minute, before the music kicks back in. I won't spoil the rest of the movie for you, but these are my favourite parts.If you are a Michael Jackson fan then this belongs in your collection for sure. Whether or not you are a fan, if you want to see a really imaginative, creative journey through Michael Jackons's imagination, I can also recommend this. One thing is for sure; the tagline couldn't be more correct. This truly IS a movie like no other.
