Revolution fails to Step Up!

I’m not even sure of the title! Is it Step ‘Revolution’ or Step Up ‘Miami Heat’? Whatever it is… make’s no difference. ‘Miami Heat’ is better because that’s what the movie tried to give… tried to! There was no “revolution” anywhere. After Step Up 3D, I’m disappointed once again, where there’s only dance… amazing dance… but  just no movie and no story!

For a dance enthusiast like me, I did enjoy the movie. I’m also a huge fan of So You Think You Can Dance, so to see Kathryn in the lead was amazing, although her performance as an actor was average, if not below. Yes there was also Twitch, even Billy had a small appearance and also Mia Michaels’ presence was as enticing as she is on the show’s judging panel. More than the dance, what’s amazing  is the choreography! I mean… WOW! I think it’s the best so far among all the Step Ups! That’s the only great thing about this movie. Nothing else!

The lead actors themselves did not have much of a depth-to-character! Also the debutant Ryan Guzman wasn’t actually the hero of the dances. All the dances were all about the flash ‘Mob’. Yes… the same old story… “Oh I want to dance! But I can’t dance! The society isn’t allowing me! Oh what do I do! I want to dance!” Ok! Ok! We get it!!! Please… earnest request to Adam Shankman, John Chu and the others… PLEASE think of a nice story before you focus ONLY on your dance routines. If we ONLY want dance, we’ll watch some episodes of So You Think You Can Dance; don’t bother making a movie just for that! Very generously… 2 Stars.
