Review of Moonwalker (1988) by Lee W — 02 Sep 2007
More self promotion rather than a movie is its downfall. The first half is just a ego driven rehash of the music he had done up to that point. Which if you are a fan you already know anyway. The actual movie section kicks in halfway through.
Obviously this was more an extravegent video clip for Michael's song Smooth Criminal rather than written as a proper movie. Someone must have thought hey lets release the clip in the cinemas. By not being a full 90min they filled it out with the above mentioned history section.
Although despite the crappy dialogue what saves this is the music and dancing of the Smooth Criminal section. The cinematography and effects are top notch. Along with the Speed Demon animation and the funny Badder clip in the history section makes it worth watching.
Has alot of faults but one thing you cant deny is the talent of Michael Jackson in music and dance. Just leave the acting to other people MJ.
