Review
In celebration of what could have been the 54th birthday of the late and famous singer and artist Michael Jackson, here's a review of his movie 'MOONWALKER'. To me, it wasn't so bad and who cares if this film doesn't have a plot, it is a one journey trip to experience the King of Pop's imagination. I won't spoil anything for the whole movie, but I loved the amazing dance sequence in "Smooth Criminal" which is the biggest highlight of all. As an added bonus, I was surprised that one of the kids from the final segment was played by John Lennon's son Sean.

'MOONWALKER' is a must-see for people including myself who are fans of the late King of Pop and I still love his dance moves, his videos and most importantly, his music.

Star rating: (4/5) Good Movie
