Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Captivating movie !
Best movie of this year hands down!
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Tyler Gage receives the opportunity of a lifetime after vandalizing a performing arts school, gaining him the chance to earn a scholarship and dance with an up and coming dancer, Nora. If you're expecting 'Step Up' to be some kind of Dirty Dancing you're be very disappointed by the end cause this film might have the romantic part in it but it's all about second chances and dance and i can see why Channing Tatum and Jenna married a little bit after that cause they had a very good chemistry together and the choreography was pretty damn good. Definitely a film that became a huge success and spawned multiple sequels and even a tv series but also made lots of fans as well. (8/10)
Some of "Step Up" is so ludicrous I wondered whether it was originally conceived as a spoof comedy. As every cliché in the book is hit! Misunderstood bad boy from wrong side of the tracks, meets a nice girl. Check. Girl has boyfriend we all know is a slimy douche, but she doesn't see it. Check. Boyfriend does not like bad boy. Check. Boyfriend is revealed as douche. Check. Bad boys friends are mad at him for spending time with other people. Check. Bad boy and good girl fall for each other, fall out, and make up before the end. Check. I can't complain too much about this movie. Snore through it, maybe, but not complain. It was an OK way to spend time watching with a date. Channing Tatum was likable and the female lead however she was, was attractive too. Other than that none of the cast stood out. Tatum is the only reason to see this, and not even he an save it, as I'm not sure his character is meant to be as funny as he seems.
(Plot) Tyler is a troubled young man with untapped dancing skills. He has moved from Foster home to Foster home throughout his life, vandalizes a very posh arts school, takes the fall for it, and does community services for his unwise decision. He meets and falls for a beautiful, talented dancer named Nora (Jenna Dewan-Tatum) who helps turn his life around, and capitalize on his dancing skills. I actually enjoyed the second sequel to a certain extent, but this series is starting to get a little old now. Before they decided to get every last dime they could from this franchise, they made a fairly moving film like this one, which started it all. I'm not much of a dancing fan, but some of the stuff Channing, Jenna, the rest of the guys did made my jaw drop. It was truly impressive. Tyler's (Channing Tatum) story of reformation is a rather uncomplicated one, but effective all the same. It's not going to dazzle you with the plot or anything like that, but it sets out to entertain the masses, and it does that quite well. Channing Tatum gets a bad rap from some. (I'd venture a guess, that it's resentful husbands or guys with a girl that has a crush on Channing) I'm a guy, and I actually like him! He comes across as a little green at times, but he manages to overcome that with presence, charisma, and believability. His chemistry with Jenna Dewan is quite transparent, and it's easy to see why they fell in love for real, in real life. Channing worked hard and I commend him. Jenna Dewan is stunning. It also helps that I could relate to her character with ease. Final Thoughts: I admit to being sick and tired of this series, but this movie manages to entertain me. It's not rocket science, just a very nice story about redemption and defying the obstacles in front of you. It's a good movie, at least I think so7/10
This is one of the first dancing movies I have seen. And even after watching Step Up 2, 3, Stomp the Yard 1, 2, Street Dance and B-Girl, this title still seems to me like the best. People looking to watch a drama-dancing movie will just love this title. I don't think somebody will find this review useful, as this title is already famous enough for everybody to know it. It has such a good mixture of drama and dancing and the plot is fine and careful. It really express real feelings and the dancing is just excellent. The cast is really good and the main characters are just perfect for the movie. Can't find many words to describe it, just awesome =)
