Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

When it was announced the "King of Pop" was dead at age 50, a month before he was to start a series of live comeback shows at London's O2 Arena, it was a huge shock to millions of people around the world. He was, and will forever be one of the most talented voices and dancers in the music industry, and he will be missed terribly. I decided to remind myself how wonderful he was by watching this great music video, from director Martin Scorcese. The story for the first five minutes or so sees Darryl (Michael Jackson) ending school, going home in his derelict neighbourhood. His mother isn't there, but his friends, led by Mini Max (a little known Wesley Snipes), and spends an evening with them, but he realises Daryl has changed with attitudes to petty crime. In an attempt to show that he is still "bad", Daryl meets the gang in a subway station, where Mini Max sees him chickens out of robbing a passing old man. The black and white then turns to colour when Daryl is dressed in leather with huge curly hair, singing the iconic song and creating some fantastic moves with his gang along the way. Daryl eventually has his members repeating his chants, until Mini Max grabs him, accepting he is still "bad", saying the words "that's the way it goes down". The film ends with them walking away, returning to black and white, with hoodie wearing Daryl watching them leave. Michael Jackson was number 14 on The 100 Greatest Pop Culture Icons, and he was number 6 on The Ultimate Pop Star, and Wesley Snipes was number 96 on The 100 Greatest Movie Stars. Very good!

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

Michael had changed a lot from the time of thriller to this video...his skin was lighter and his features seemed to have changed...but who cares, Bad is still awesome and directed by Martin Scorsese! the song is really catchy and Michael's dancing is very tough and sharp, Wesley snipes makes an appearance also...10/10 Michael delivered the goods with this

When I saw this music video for the first time, I really liked it because I liked the song and also that Michael Jackson is my favorite singer of all time. Michael Jackson did a fine job in this music video and the direction and choreography were superb. Michael Jackson has done very cool music videos in the past and they were cool and this one is cool too. My favorite part was Michael saying "Who's Bad?" because it sounded cool and that it goes with the song.Final Rating: 10/10
