Rating 'Moonwalker' at IMDB.com (Please Vote!)

Theres something strange I noticed under the 'cast' list!

Michael Bower - Behind the scenes (grip) (scenes deleted)

What deleted scenes?!
 
... Doesn't anybody out there agree with me?..

IMDB (for those who dont know) is the biggest Movie Database-website on the internet.
Hence its name - Internet movie Database (IMDB).
So please vote/rate.

I think it probably deserves its current score. It wasn't a great movie. I mean, Smooth Criminal and Come Together were great. But the story was terrible, if there even was one. It was only worth watching for Smooth Criminal, Come Together and that performance of Man in the Mirror at the start. As a collection of music videos and performances, it's great. As a movie, it's shithouse.

I couldn't have said it better.

Michael made the movie attractive trough his songs, but if you compare the story line with movies as The Shawshank redemption, it isn't a great movie. We all like to see Michael perform, talk and act, but his acting skills aren't like a Morgan Freeman one.
 
LOL!!!!!!!!! I'm sorry, but it's amusing as hell to me to see Fans downrate Moonwalker, I had this conception it was a favorite. It's the first time I've ever heard anyone diss a Michael 'Movie'
 
What the hell was Moonwalker about?

Its entertaining but it really isn't a good movie.
 
I wouldn't really call it a movie. I'd call it a music video collection
 
But people, come on, terrible movie or not its a classic. Its a great 'collection' of random MJ..stuff...lol. Its Mikey! Shamone! And like I said smooth criminal is so superb it deserves a 10. How about leave me alone? remember the self mockery? How bout the part he got kicked in the stomach and turned into a giant 80s robot? How bout the bunny challenge dance - that funny face he made?, when do we ever get to see all that? Since I watched bits of it as a kid(about 10 years after its release), I could never get it all out of my head. Its strangely Magical and Entertaining.
Yes its Weird, all over the place etc. (maybe even 'shithouse' as a movie) -
But still a classic MJ.
okay, at least if the rating came up to 6.5 Ill be happy enough.

And about his acting, LOL. I know it isnt that great, but I also think when a person is already so full of personality like him, there are very little roles that would fit him well. I think the wiz was perfect, Edward scissor hands could have been perfect.

We are not dissing it, we only said the movie can't be really high in the score, because the 'movie' isn't really a movie.
His acting skills are just not like Freeman or a De Niro.
 
Ok, so maybe it was total cheese at times, but I watched that every single day when I came home from school back in the day, lol. That was my favorite thing in the world. I had never thought about rating it or even looking it up on IMDB. So, just did :)
 
I loved this movie as a kid. Could watch it every day. But when I got it on DVD and watched it as an adult. I found it not to have much of a plot. It's great for the music. And every MJ fan it is a must see. But it didn't have much of a plot it was kind of random. I still enjoy it though:cheeky:
 
Almost 30% of people who have voted have given this 10/10. However, it gets a low ranking due to the fact that:

"IMDb publishes weighted vote averages rather than raw data averages. Various filters are applied to the raw data in order to eliminate and reduce attempts at 'vote stuffing' by individuals more interested in changing the current rating of a movie than giving their true opinion of it."

...which means you may be wasting time and effort trying to manipulation the score

He was generally lauded for his perfomance in The Wiz. Don't be so quick to right him off. He said in 1988, he was "looking for the right vehicle."

He also had a lot of projects that got derailed by the accusations. Here's an article from 2002 I posted in another thread:

Michael Jackson Plans To Co-Direct Feature Film; 'They Cage the Animals at Night' will be produced by Mel Gibson's Icon Productions

"King of Pop"-turned-king of projects Michael Jackson has another new venture on his hands — co-directing his first feature film.

Jackson and Bryan Michael Stoller will adapt the Jennings Michael Burch book "They Cage the Animals at Night" for the big screen later this year, according to Stoller, who is also penning the screenplay and producing the project along with Mel Gibson's Icon Productions.

Gibson may take on a role in the film, depending on his schedule at the time of shooting, Stoller said, as may Jackson's close friends Marlon Brando and Liza Minnelli.

Jackson — who had a role in 1978's "The Wiz" and will appear in this summer's "Men in Black 2" (see "Michael Jackson Back Onscreen In 'Men In Black 2' ") — may make a cameo in "They Cage the Animals at Night" but will mostly focus on directing as well as writing and recording music for the movie.

Stoller said Jackson brought the project to him because he liked the book, which is a true story about Burch being bounced around from one foster home to another. Stoller described it as "Oliver" meets "Stand by Me" meets "The Cider House Rules."

"Michael felt that he could relate to the script because of the way he grew up, almost without a childhood," Stoller said.

The co-directors met 15 years ago when Stoller introduced Jackson to child actor Brandon Adams, who went on to appear in Jackson's Moonwalker. Their friendship rekindled when Jackson invited Stoller to screen his 1999 film "Undercover Angel," which starred Yasmine Bleeth and Dean Winters, at Neverland Ranch.

"Michael has a phenomenal vision," Stoller said. "He watches movies whenever he can. He's a visionary. Just look at his short films, his music videos, and that gives you an idea of what he can bring visually. Also, he's very sensitive and sincere. And emotionally this is going to help with the direction."

Although Stoller, who is still finishing the script, said everything is in place to begin filming the $20-30 million movie by the fall, Jackson has garnered a reputation for taking his time on projects and often failing to follow through.

A few years ago, Jackson was reportedly set to star in film called "The Nightmare of Edgar Allan Poe" that has yet to be made (see "Michael Jackson Finishing New Album, Eyeing Film Career"). He has also been linked to other movie projects that never got off the ground, such as "Capricious Anomaly in the Sea of Space" and "The Dragon's Candle."

Outside of movies, Jackson has many promises yet to be fulfilled, including the release of the star-studded September 11 tribute song "What More Can I Give" (see "Post-9/11 Tribute Albums And Singles: Big Plans, Not So Big Results"), various amusement parks (see "Michael Jackson Plans Motor City Resort" and "Jackson South Korean Theme Park Reports Premature") and a Jackson 5 reunion album (see "Michael Jackson To Collaborate With Brothers On Upcoming Reunion CD").

"He's a busy guy. He has so much going on," Stoller said. "But I'm a doer. I'm good at getting things finished. And Michael's been there every time I need him. It's going to happen."

Jackson's spokesperson at Epic Records, which released last fall's long-awaited Invincible (see "Michael Jackson Revisits Old Self, Rails At Press, Tries Bounce On Invincible"), could not confirm the movie, though The Hollywood Reporter printed a statement from the pop star that said he was looking forward to working with Stoller and Icon.

The movie trade magazine also reported that Jackson further ventured into the movie industry by investing $15-20 million in a production and distribution company called MDP Worldwide.
