A documentary on Michael Jackson and the legacy of his record Bad.
Leave your thoughts about Bad 25.
| The Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyThe film is a sensational snapshot of the peak of the music video as art form, as well as the intricately layered process by which superior pop is crafted. |
| Screen DailyMark AdamsAs a snapshot of a time, a talent and an album, Spike Lee’s absorbing, moving and resolutely toe-tapping documentary about the music and impact of Michael Jackson’s album Bad, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, is a wonderfully complex look into the creative genius of Jackson. |
| The GuardianPeter BradshawLee wants to clear away the tabloid smoke and spite, and bring the focus back to Jackson's professionalism, his craftsmanship, his artistry and his pop genius; the movie defiantly insists that Jackson was and is superior to his detractors. |
| Dazed and ConfusedSophie Brown[A] thorough and engaging exploration of the cultural phenomenon; a unique explosion in musical history, and insight into the loneliness of the performer, isolated in a fame bubble and devoured by the press. |
| The PlaylistOliver LytteltonIt's fascinating, warm and immensely watchable stuff, and fans of both Jackson and pop music in general will surely eat the film up. |
| Village VoiceAlan ScherstuhlSpike Lee has given the world the first tribute that fully measures up to Jackson the artist. Come on get your sham on. |
| TimeRichard CorlissBad 25 is an intimate view of a performer at his peak in the intense splendor of creativity. |
| Los Angeles TimesMikael WoodOn-screen, Bad 25 moves in the style of a great pop song. |
| VarietyGuy LodgeA blockbuster melange of Motown, metal, hip-hop, world and gospel influences, bound by trailblazing production, "Bad" has stood in its predecessor's shadow too long, and Spike Lee convincingly makes the case for reassessment with this exhaustive and entertaining if less-than-penetrating documentary on its creation. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThough at times a tad worshipful, the film's tone is ultimately more awed than hagiographic, its commenters too cleareyed and candid to back away from negative publicity or public disenchantment. |
