Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

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.

Not everything that Martin can create is a masterpiece. I'm going to be honest, "Bad" was one of my least favorite songs by Michael. I had only ever seen the edited and short version of "Bad". I bought the "History" DVD. Lucky enough they had the longer version. I was pretty excited. I am a big MS fan. And same with MJ. This was just too unbelievable. Michael Jackson telling Wesley Snipes whose bad. And the look... let's just say that the Easter Bunny is a little more ittimidating than Michael is. But I do want to give some props to this video. The editing is very nice. The chorogrophy is amazing. And the story is pretty original for it's time. So, I have a soft spot for this video.8/10

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!!

This music video is honestly one of the best of Michael Jackson. He portrays a high school kid coming home from a high class, preppy school only to hang out with his ghetto friends. As the group gets back into their old ways, Michael refuses to continue with them. His opinions have changed since they last hung out and doesn't want to be the delinquent that he apparently was before hand.After his friends give him one more chance to show that he still is BAD, Michael ditches the chance and tells his friends that they're nothing and not bad either. He goes into a lengthy dance number to show to them that he is BAD too, but just not in the way that they want him to be.The direction and quality of film is excellent. With it's WIZARD OF OZ type feel, by having the film start off in Black and White and then at the point of the song's entrance, turning to color, only to go back to Black and White after the song's finished.Once again, this is one of MJ's better MUSIC VIDEOS and is a must see for fans of both MJ and Scoresce.
