Concert footage, concept videos and a career retrospective make up a video portrait of pop superstar Michael Jackson.

Critics Consensus

A visually extravagant but narratively hollow patchwork, Moonwalker buries Michael Jackson's singular talent beneath a barrage of fantasy, self-mythologizing spectacle, and loosely connected concepts that dazzle more than they cohere.

It's a hodge-podge, but a mostly engaging one.

The most ambitious and oddly rewarding work of its kind in movie and music history.

Moonwalker is Bad's visual equivalent: a video extravaganza that dazzles the eyes, but gives little sustenance to the soul.

The main video, Smooth Criminal, is violent, egotistical, and absolute nonsense.

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.

All we learn from this gorgeous and expensive fluff is that Jackson's filthy rich.

I loved it. Michael is a true artist. If you are a fan, and enjoy a bit of fantasy and magic, you’ll love this.

An uneven grab bag of music videos, concert footage, and bizarre self-mythologizing
