Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.
dyanordakowski This movie is lovable in every way. It has a combination of romance, comedy, and even tragedy. The movie has many talented dancers with a number of cool-looking dances of every style. These dances include hip hop, ballet, and a combination of both. The way the dances are filmed is intriguing because they make sure to capture each important move and make it extremely enjoyable to watch. Each dance scene is just as amazing as the last and it makes you want to get up and move along with it. Not to mention, Channing Tatum is the overly attractive male lead and is a wonderful dancer and actor. You'l feel a whole range of emotions throughout this movie and will be satisfied at the end.
Gordon-11 This film is about a man who has to serve community service in a dancing school, because of the misbehaviour of his foster brothers.I was expecting "Step Up" to be similar to other dance movies, such as "StreetDance 3D" and "Honey". However, "Step Up" does not concentrate on the vibrant energy of young dancers. Instead, "Step Up" concentrates on the lives of the characters. There are little scenes of them dancing, and even if they are dancing they are just isolated practice scenes. For a dancing movie, the number of dancing scenes is quite pitiful. The story is not so engaging either, so I was left feeling bored and disappointed by "Step Up".
rebecca-ry 'Step Up' is primarily a dance film with some great dance sequences included. A lot of people therefore criticise the acting in this film because it is pretty poor from most of the performers.With Channing Tatum it's difficult; sometimes his acting can be terrible, his face hardly shows any expression at all in some scenes and his dialogue is wooden. However, in other scenes - particularly with his adopted little sister - he acts fantastically and gives a real-life performance that seems so natural. He acts best in long discussions with people. Jenna Dewan (now Jenna Dewan-Tatum) is good, not great. She's a professional dancer so you cannot expect her to be outstanding at acting because it simply is not her profession. She isn't bad though, I certainly would not say her acting performance was bad, just not great. Her dancing is of course the best in the film, Tatum is really good too. The story is not that great, it's too clichéd as is the case with a lot of films about dancing. There are some moments where you think the story could have been a lot better if they had worked on key points. They bring in important themes to the film such as living a life of crime, youth tragedies, crime taking over neighbourhoods but they don't explain or spread these themes out enough for them to take a hold on the film meaning the themes are half-explained and you're given a 'happy' ending whilst you have all of these questions unanswered.Overall, the film is enjoyable. I would recommend it if you like this sort of film, it's a decent film to watch if you just want to eat popcorn but don't expect anything outstanding.
bboyfarii 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 =)
