It is probably one of the worst musicals I have ever seen (Bare in mind musicals are not my speciality). The only scene I really enjoyed was Michael Jackson has his own song and displays his amazing dance moves. In my opinion, there is not much else to enjoy in this flick. It looks bad, the songs are lame and the whole thing is just boring. Not really worth a look.

Tom Henry's Crap List (27 movies items)

"This really had a lot of potential. The idea is really fantastic and it provides so much material to work with and you could really let your imagination fly. So, what happened? Sidney Lumet as the completely out of place director, Diana Ross looking constipated in probably every scene, set decoration that balances between genius and infernal, phenomenally forgettable music, unbelievably joyless editing and cinematography and a mess of a screenplay written by the man who broke the Bat with his "

"Katsottu 9.7.2012., dvd Michael Jackson Variksenpelättimenä, Diana Ross Dorothyna, ohjaajana Sidney Lumet, tuottajana Rob Cohen joka myöhemmin ohjasi Hurjapäät ja xXx:n, musiikin tuottajana Quincy Jones ja käsikirjoittajana Joel Schumacher. Juurikin niin heikko veto kuin voisi kuvitella. Paria toimivaa kohtausta lukuun ottamatta yli kahden tunnin pituus tuntuu hämmentävän heikosti kirjoitetulta kiirastulelta täynnä mitä-vittua -lavastusta, täysin pieleen mennyttä leikkausta ja t�"

"11.1.2012 Ihan kohtalainen näyttämömusikaalin kääntäminen elokuvaksi, joka kuitenkin kärsii eniten tutusta juoneestaan ja pitkästä kestosta. Toki aika hieno ja paikoin erikoinen toteutus tarjosi yllätyksiä matkan varrella. Pääroolien esittäjät tekevät parhaansa, mukana on esim. energinen ja nuori Michael Jackson Variksenpelättimenä. Päälle kaksituntisena tämä kuitenkin tuntuu auttamattoman pitkältä. Kenties muutaman heikomman musiikkinumeron olisi voinut leikata pois, n"
