I am a big fan of Michael Jackson and have watched Moonwalker multiple times through my life since about the age of 10. The highlight is absolutely the filmclip of Smooth Criminal coming out of this, which is absolutely brilliant. But Moonwalker - something about it, even the upbeat scenes, I can't quite point to, has always left me feeling quite deflated and almost depressed! I can't figure out why though. Perhaps there is a detectable loneliness to Michael and his isolation that I'm picking up on here. There are some spooky scenes throughout Moonwalker but it's just the atmosphere to this movie that for some reason weirds me out. Even as a kid I found the cartoon scenes quite obnoxious and unnessecary and the military/villian scenes to be very anxiety-inducing. Overall it's not something I reach for if I want to watch some MJ and I wouldn't mind if I never saw it again.
