Reform Jews are very different from "messianic Jews". A Reform Jew is one who has adopted a humanistic philosophical version of Judaism. They also tend to take less traditional interpretation of traditional writings, Talmud, Commentators and Jewish Law. For example, Reform Judaism allows for female public Torah-scroll chanting, female rabbis, and supports gay marriage. It also permits eating non-kosher, desecrating the Sabbath, etc.
"Messianic Jew" is a term used specifically for Christians who claim to follow both Judaism and Christianity at the same time. The Messianic movement is the creation of various Christian sects with the goal of converting Jews to Christianity by telling them that it's possible to believe in Jesus while remaining a Jew.
Most Messianic Jews are not actually Jewish by birth or conversion. They are Christians who adopt some Jewish practices but apply Christian meanings to them. In any case, all messianic Jews are considered as Christians in both Christianity and Judaism.
