While this movie definitely wasn't the best thing, that Michael ever did, it's sad to see so many negative reviews about it. I mean, come on! Yeah, the movie was really weird, but Michael was gorgeous, and the music (and the dancing in the "Smooth Criminal" and "Come together" segments) was great!

Moonwalker(1988) is campy kitsch.

The reason it get's bad reviews and low scores as a movie is simply due to the fact...it's NOT a "movie". Yet it was sold as one.

If this was released as a MJ greatest hits collection....it would not get bad reviews as a movie.

As a movie, it's terrible.
As a collection of MJ's music, it's great.

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world he is God.

I think Michael only thought about having fun, when he made this movie, and some people don't get this, and they will take it way too seriously. This is especially true, when it comes to people, who aren't that much of a MJ fan to begin with. But having said this, I too prefer "The Wiz" and "Ghosts" over "Moonwalker".
