Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
quintinv-97334 I was not impressed by this movie in any way, shape of form. The dancing was all over with very little logic in the sequencing and it might just be me, but I got the idea that they aimed for each individual to try and be better perceived than the next, instead of dancing as a group. The group sync is supposed to be the best thing about the dancing scenes and the only ones where they were any good, were at the final routine. The acting is VERY bad in this movie; not just execution but the approach to some of the characters are weak to say the least. The 'macho' attitude is also overdone once again, in the beginning sequence where the team splits up cause they simply can't do it anymore. The main character does then not even attempt to his old crew to ask them if they want to participate in the competition. This does not make sense at all and was an element they could rather have left out of the movie completely. I watched this on DVD and have to it that I found myself forwarding chunks of the movie so I could get to the end quicker.
Bob-45 "Step Up: Revolution" is, ittedly a hard act to follow. "...Revolution" contains some absolutely jaw-dropping dance sequences, from the opening "cruising scene" to the "art gallery" scene; both of these are some of the flashiest ensemble dance sequences I have witnessed. However, this does not excuse "Step Up: All In" from being such as tacky, lethargic let down. Absolutely none of the dance sequences, individual, team or group, are even remotely memorable, much less equal to even the weakest numbers in "...Revolution".The trivia mentioned for "...All In" pointed out there were no choreographers listed in the credits. I am not surprised.There is not even any romantic chemistry between the leads.What little acting takes place is a pathetic joke.I wish most of the dancers from "...Revolution" were back, as well as Cleopatra Coleman. While not a dancer, Coleman was a scene stealer in "Revolution"; and not just because she was so hot.While the production values are top notch, every thing else seems bargain basement. I give "Step Up: All In" a "4", mostly for the photography and sound.
imhy The very beginning of the movie says it all and this movie is filled with a sad bunch of pathetic dancers that haven't been able to transcend from the very tacky dance movie to anything meaningful so they continue to grasp at this franchise and shame on the producers of recycling a cast that don't even remotely have the talent of real dancers or actors.Same cast from the last 3-4 movies all still pushing the exact same moves without the flare or innovation that is coming out of real crews in the world right now. I mean seriously the robot guy again. Yeah lets see his 1 move again and give him another 10 second clip of him doing his head trick. Same lame tricks from breakers that don't even remotely cut it. How about you hire dancers that work their ass off from Battle of the Year. Oh wait, they wouldn't be caught in such a lame movie. It would be degrading to their art. And Moose. Again? Yeah same half ass attempt at popping.The choreography in this movie is just sad. Absolutely no wow factor. Same old moves and lacks anything even remotely innovative and in honesty that's what we really watch the movie for. We know the storyline is going to be crap. We know the acting will be horrible. They are dancers, not actors. We get it but the dancing is really bad and that's what all the reviews are on about. If you look back at You Got Served. The storyline sucked but the choreography from a movie that is 10 years old absolutely DESTROYS any choreography from the last 3 Step Up movies.Really hope this franchise dies off cause it's just sad to see the state of dance represented this way.
bravesfanc I've been a Step Up fan from the beginning, I enjoy the dancing (considering I am unable to do so) so when you watch a movie like this you get what you expect. The acting is OK but the dancing is fantastic and I would say better than the previous installment of this series.No need to go into details as to why they are dancing in a competition, if you like the dancing of the previous films, you will definitely enjoy it in this one. Watch something else for the acting or storyline. The dancing is by far the best I've seen on film.It's a 6/10 for me and I will continue watching this franchise until it stops.
