Step Up 3D....SUCKED!




This is not a long post. Why? Because there is not much explanation needed to as why Step Up 3D was one of the most horrible dance movies to be ever created.

Now, I am not so sure why a lot of people actually LIKE the third installment of the Step Up movies. I watched it sometime ago, and I just kept on seeing Step Up 3D being made a part of "favourite movies" on facebook by...random people I know.

I liked the first two movies. They were great. But this one....was absolute BULLSHIT! So, if you wanted to create a dance movie, why does it ALWAYS have to be where the dance group needs money to "survive" a particular disaster...while there is some sort of arch enemy lurking in the background (to be met at the final dance off). And in the middle, throw in some cheesy lines, horrible acting, forced romance ("Rule number one in getting a girl inside a random club: Follow her around with a camera" - Courtesy of Step Up 3D)

All that happened. If this movie wasn't 3D, how much money would it have really made? Now it comes to the final battle. Yeah, usually these final battles are....VERY AWESOME. Like in the second movie. However, in this one....it was almost as if their opponents didn't exist. And oh yeah, the moment the competition was mentioned in the movie (where they would win a 100,000)....we all knew they would win hands down....and go home with the money to save their home...which by the way, could have only been built if these dancers actually had jobs...or if the main actor called Luke earned a LOT. But they didn't.

The final dance with the fancy lights was....good, but it would have been better IF the opponents actually had something spectacular as well. But did they? No...they looked like people who should have had a tough time getting around other rounds of the competition.

The only good aspect to the movie was the dude named Moose. He could act. Everybody else couldn't Fact.
