It's a hodge-podge, but a mostly engaging one. Go to Full Review
Greg Quill Toronto Star 1d
The most ambitious and oddly rewarding work of its kind in movie and music history. Go to Full Review
John Milward Philadelphia Inquirer 1d
Moonwalker is Bad's visual equivalent: a video extravaganza that dazzles the eyes, but gives little sustenance to the soul. Go to Full Review
Connie Passalacqua Tampa Bay Times 1d
Probably the most interesting segment for adults, at least is a lengthy retrospective of Jackson's 24-year career. If nothing else, it proves that, unlike Peter Pan, Jackson really did grow up. Go to Full Review
Helen Metella Edmonton Journal 1d
All we learn from this gorgeous and expensive fluff is that Jackson's filthy rich. Go to Full Review
Maria Gallagher Philadelphia Daily News 1d
Moonwalker is 94 minutes long, the front half of which is by far the best... The remainder is a tedious 40-minutes chase and shoot-em-up. Go to Full Review

Jamie P @RT78434307 19h This was the 2nd ever movie I saw in the cinema when I was 8 years old. Michael Jackson was larger than life and this movie was very exciting. Now that the movie Michael is out I urge new Michael Jackson fans to watch his 1988 Moonwalker movie and leave reviews. It’s such a feel good movie. it gives you a compilation of his hit songs and then the real movie portion on this presentation. 5 Stars from me. Classic 80’s. Smooth Criminal is just amazing!!

La película nueva de Michael 2026 me ha gustado más la moderna que la antigua. See more Nathan H @RT05290795 May 2 Moonwalker is pure entertainment from start to finish. It’s not just a movie it’s a full Michael Jackson experience with incredible music, iconic dance scenes, creative visuals, and nonstop energy. Every performance feels legendary, especially "Smooth Criminal," which is still one of the greatest musical sequences ever filmed. It’s a childhood classic. The way it pieces together all of Michael Jackson’s music videos is amazing and creates an experience that’s completely unique. If you’re looking for a movie with a huge plot twist or even a traditional plot, this really isn’t that it’s more of a visual and musical journey all on its own. Honestly, it deserves its own genre. Weird, creative, nostalgic, and great nevertheless. Essential watching for any Michael Jackson See more Jessica M @Jessica11111 Apr 24 This movie is great, it is a childhood favourite of mine, so I may be biased, but it is just wonderful. It is a film you have to watch a few times to understand it, but I love that it is a completion of Michael's music career. It starts off with man in the mirror which is just perfect. Then it shows clips from Michael's early career before starting on the bad album. It recreated the bad music video with Brandon Quintin Adams playing Michael's part. Then it goes on to leave me alone and then the actual short film begins staring Joe Pesci as the villain of the story and Brandon Quintin Adams, Sean ono Lennon and Kellie Parker as the orphan children and of course Michael Jackson. This short film is based around smooth criminal and is crazy and wonderful at the same time. Michael turned into a car and then a robot and then a rocketship to save the orphans and all the children of the world. The movie ends with Michael taking the children to see him preform Come together. Moonwalker is great See more AHLI X @ALIYNATION Mar 10 An ICONIC CREATIVE OUT OF THIS WORLD CINEMATIC MASTERPIECE OF ITS TIME. MICHAEL JACKSON WILL FOREVER BE THE KING. See more Read all reviews
