Customer Reviews
For fans only
I remember seeing Moonwalker way back when I was a boy. I remember getting right into by the world-beating videos, laughing at the Speed Demon claymation sequence and marvelling at the special-effects-heavy Smooth Criminal short film with Joe Pesci as the villain. Recently, I rented the DVD to see if I could relive the magic a bit.
Nowadays, with Michael's reputation tarnished, his face unrecognisable and his fame mostly overlooked, I wonder what the fuss was about. Even excepting of the elements that appear dodgy with the benefit of hindsight (the boy from the "Bad" sequence passing through a cloud of smoke and emerging as adult Michael, for instance), the whole film is pretty much a showcase for his work and not much more. Even the Smooth Criminal film is not all that.
If you remember all that was great about Michael and were more of a fan than me, you should get it. You might even get a bit of a kick out of the magical Smooth Criminal showdown if you loved Transformers. Otherwise, you'll probably just get a little bored and even disconcerted in spite of all the glitz.
Superb!
A movie that starts out with the "Man in the Mirror" music video which was captured on stage of two Michael performances, it then changes to a montage of video clips of Michael's amazing career with fantastic footage from the Jackson 5 days and Motown 25.
Next comes a parody of his 'Bad' video by children who perform 'Badder', and then Michael is chased by fans in a fantasy sequence. Two more videos are shown which includes 'Leave Me Alone' and the fantastic claymation mini-movie of 'Speed Demon'.
The movie now begins in which Michael plays a hero with magical powers. In it he is chased by drug dealer Mr. Big (Joe Pesci) and saves three children while turning into the super car and the Jackson robot.
Also included is the spectacular 20 minute piece of music film which is unquestionably the best video of all time 'Smooth Criminal' and finishes with Michael live on stage to perform 'Come Together'
AMAZING, and fan will love this.
