This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Not even bad in a good way

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

This is the 16-minute music video by the late Michael Jackson for his song "Bad" from almost 30 years ago. Regardless of what I think of Michael Jackson as an artist, his overlong music videos are just a prime example of weak writing and mediocre (at best!) acting. It does not really help that the director here is Martin Scorsese, one of the best out there. Well.. maybe he wasn't yet in the late 80s. Then again he had already "Raging Bull" under his belt at that point and was not far away from making "Goodfellas". The writer here is Richard Price. He also worked with Scorsese shortly before on "The Color of Money" and got his first (and only) Academy award nomination for the film's screenplay. In terms of the cast here, the only other sort-of known actor is Wesley Snipes, but it's really all about Michael, who sings a lot, dances a lot and is just the big star of the show as in all his other music videos. In my opinion, these are basically all style over substance and even if I believe he was a very talented musician, there is nothing really memorable about him as an actor. Not recommended.

Even though I love Michael Jackson, I don't think all of of his short films were that great. I mean, his films until this one were good, but nothing spectacular (except Thriller, which was awesome). By this time, Jacko had jumped the shark, and his films became... silly.The film starts out with a kid called Daryl, played by Jacko himself. He doesn't actually do a terrible job of acting, but it's nothing great. Anyway, the kid has just graduated from high school... I think. It's pretty hard to tell, because it's not such a well thought-out story. Moving on, we see him on the bus, talking to a guy, using lines which don't make much sense and are never explained. Later, we see him walking home, and as he walks in, some guys, presumably friends, are waiting for him. They seem to be in the 'tough crowd' which Daryl wants to be part of, but the stuff his teachers have taught him at his 'sissy school of his' say otherwise.We see him trying to do the 'tough stuff' that the gang does, and they chastise him for not being like them. We then see him at a parking lot, where he's asking a guy to give him money, but as the gang closes in, he tell the guy to run. At this point, I guessed the message was 'don't be a jerk like those guys', but all of a sudden, some guys from another gang jump in, and we see Jack dressed as he is on the cover of the 'Bad' album. So after 15 minutes of pointless scenes and clichéd lines, we finally get a dance scene of crotch- grabbing, graffiti, accompanied by a song, which, despite having a good beat seems to say 'change the world by being a 'tough guy'. We also get Jacko pointing at the other guys we saw earlier, singing 'you're doin' it wrong!' over and over and over and over and over... You get the idea.So, in full, it's too long, too stupid, too clichéd, etc. Sorry, Jacko, it failed.

I'm bad, I'm bad you know it. This was the chorus to Michael Jacksons hit "Bad" back in 1987.When I look back at it, I make the conclusion, its cool. Okay, it may appear to be alittle humorus and alittle riduculous, but its still cool. Michael plays a high school student, Darryl,(a 30 year old high school student)coming back home to visit the old neighbourhood for the holidays. His old mates are rebelious and "bad" but Daryll has changed since hes been away. Here, we see michaels excellent acting talents. And I'm being serious, he was realy good. "Lay off me man! Get off me man, stop it!!! I'm tired of you messin wit me man, stop it!!! stop it!!!"Beleivable, but cheesy. In order to prove himself to his old friends, he makes an attempt at robbing a poor man in a deserted train station, or at least thats how he wants to make it seem to his mates, "give me a quarter" when he realizes that the man is poor, old and helpless, "Get out of here man run!!! Run!!!"Daryll, has gotten himself into a rough spot now. Wesley in particular is annoyed with Darryl. Befriending him, saying how he has forgotten who he is, "You aint down wit us no more, you aint bad!!"All of a sudden its brighter, Darryl is surrounded by dancers and he is wearing tights. His hair is curly and to top it off he has allot of buckles. He dosent look bad, he looks ridicioulous.Thats when the music sarts and the relization that youre watching a michael Jackson music video sinks in. In all honesty I enjoy watching this. The dancing is wonderfully coreographed for that type of song and Michael actually looks good.But when the song is over, its back to black and white. Darryl has shown that he is still "Bad" but not in that way.He makes peace with wesley and they accept him for who he is. "Thats the way it goes down huh."Now hypothetically speaking, that wouldnt happen in real life. Dancers wouldnt show up out of nowhere and a song wouldnt solve the problem. In my opinion, they didnt really show up in the first place, they were Darryl's imagination, his way of escaping from reality. Thats how he sees himself and he expressed that to his old friends in his way. I hope this makes sence to whoever reads it cause I just confussed myself! Anyway, to sum it all up. Its a good music video. NO where near as good as "Thriller" or "Beat it" but its still good.King of pop rules!!

BAD is an incredible music video by the King of pop ! And wow he looks gorgeous in it too !!! Michael Jackson in my opinion is also the King of music video's too !! I mean...he invented them in the first place !
