It's basically every single one of his videos put together to make a story, but even that story doesn't make sense. No explanation is given to his transformations from cartoon to car to whatever else he thinks up.

While there is some outstanding chereography to admire, and some half decent tunes, there is not much else.

Total brilliance.

A whole lot of elaborate production design and FX to conceal the fact that the music isn't that great

He hee, shamon, shamon. OW!

Poor.

Highly watchable trainwreck of a vanity piece, always corny but never boring or embarrassing (although if you're not already an MJ fan then all bets are off, watch at your own risk). Jackson is easily the greatest pop performer of his time; "Smooth Criminal" in particular must be seen and heard to be believed.

good looking but hokey

A strange, almost disasterous structured movie - but 'Smooth Criminal' makes it worth the while hands down

So terribly indulgent, with horrifying child actors.

No matter what's your opinion on Michael Jackson, he IS the king of pop. Though this movie is far away from perfect, it's the best one on market of the talent's musical achievement. As well music maker and dancer. The plot and acted parts are the weakest point of the movie, but I do watch and listen this video regularily since it's my son's favourite as well.

crap

Oh, my. As much as we all love "Smooth Criminal," this will make you think twice. Don't get caught watching this...you may never live it down.

Said that, Moonwalker was a movie, is almost a joke.

This managed to make Michael Jackson look amazingly creepy while being weird in a really cool way at the same time. Joe Pesci is great as the villain, and all his henchmen have machine guns that look like movie cameras. Neat stuff, but worth just the one viewing.

Really a kids' movie, but my recollection is that it wasn't marketed that way. Even so, has some definite problems. But the "Smooth Criminal" dance sequence alone makes the whole thing worthwhile. "Badder" is also great. And whatever other problems from which it suffers, it does, in a strange way, seem to want to say something.

Loved when I was a kid, but watching it again I think it is a waste of time...

Best part of this movie was the music video for Smooth Criminal.

As a fan of MJ during these days I loved this. The "leave me alone" video is worth getting this alone. Sega based a video game on the "smooth criminal" video which you would get the bad guys to dance along with you....yes I am serious. Very entertaining.

Underseen and underrated, this gem slipped by everyone's radar in this Reagan era stunner. Jackson's dance sequences and movements manage to capture the very soul and essence of generation x "angst", as well as its bureaucratic racist undertones while still sprinkling a modicum of hope in the flash of a toe-step or a flick of the fedora. Critics concerned only w/ pedophilia allegations miss the power of a major artist's best work. Second only to MJ's clever KKK mocking one glove. - Armond White

Jesus Christ, discredits Michael Jackson and makes him even more hilarious now that I ever thought he could go.

Even without the creepy ego masturbation of Michael Jackson, it's a pretty putrid watch. I only saw it because my sister was a fan and had it on all of the time.
