Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
Lucia Ayala It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
p-stepien A movie desperately in search of a script. Instead it throws us straight into dance after dance, trying to fill in the void with action. For what little plot there is "Streetdance" tells about a group of young streetdancers led by Carly (Nichola Burly), who in order to compete at UK championships agree to train and include in their troupe five ballet dancers in exchange for access to a dance-floor at the local academy. Wait! Hasn't the street dance meets ballet motive been done to death by now? It's almost as if creators of such dance flicks pretend that this is the final frontier in dance. Populated by former contestants of various dance based reality shows the movie seems to focused on having each of them stamp their presence. One of special note is George Sampson, who gets a pointless role in the movie aimed solely at garnering his "Britain's Got Talent" fame. He isn't the only participant of that programme with such creds with roles for the Diversity and Flawless crews.Most of the acting is able, albeit Nichola Burly (supposedly one of the few professional actors on board) is uninspiring and unable to keep the interest of the viewer. With the flimsy script and poor lead you actually wish for them to stop talking and do another umpteenth dance routine. However all the dancing is top-notch with some really exceptional sets (I fail however to understand the fuss behind Sampson, who seems to not be quite there yet). Especially the Flawless crew is 100% worthy of their name. Hence - despite all the clichés - "Streetdance" manages to overcome its shortcomings with some energetic, forceful in-your-face choreography. One of the best scenes has the street crew trying to introduce their ballet partners to the raw basics of what they do - everything from breakbeat to krumping is given a nod.SPOILER: The constant problems of similar movies is the use of professional crews as the 'opposition', while our heroes are a rag-tag group of actors, semi-pro dancers and some random pros. Streetdance deals with this by having Flawless do a sub-par performance, when it matters, while absolutely owning the screen in all other previous scenes. This actually made the imperfect final routine by our protagonists look better than it actually was. That did however make the final dance sequences one of the worst in the whole movie.All in all a worthy watch for dance flick lovers, so despite the low ratings handed out due to the flimsy script, I positive a lot of people will be pouring some well-deserved love on this movie for the spunk and power of the dances.
Sherif Hamdy This movie is a big waste of time , the story is looks like Step Up , a Street Dance Crew training in ballet school and some ballet dancers the crew , the only new thing here is Ballet Dance . I have some notes you might find it useful :1- I think Street Dance must be on Hip Hop music but I don't know what the director was thinking by making them dance on this music , awful .2- You can't compare this with Step Up , the dance is not good , and the story is not good as Step Up .3- The Romance in this movie is really disappointing .I think they was trying to create something new , by mixing Ballet Dance with Street Dance , but I think they fail .
Tamara Page I don't really like dance movies. Dirty dancing has its brilliant moments, but that's generally my limit. So when was forced to see street dance 3d I was very depressed. But surprisingly i loved it! It was very enjoyable with brilliant dance, storyline, tension and romance. You don't get much better than that! It isn't as good as the great dance movie, dirty dancing, but it's better than all the other mediocre dance movies, like step up, you got served and honey all put together. Girls, drag your boy friends to see this film- he'll hate it with a vengeance, but if you like dance, tension and romance, you'll love it!
sophjoy The plot was predictable with very few surprises, 'Step up style.' The acting was not particularly special and it occasionally reached quite low standards. Yet the movie as a whole still managed to be thoroughly enjoyable. The second half was much better than the first.The Dancing was fantastic from every aspect. All the characters were very skilled. Each dance was different and better than the previous one. This of course made the movie what it was.and the 3D effects were good fun. I was always a step up fan and thought nothing could compete with it but street dance managed to. It was much better than I expected and is definitely worth seeing.
