Step Up
movies have always been highly entertaining because of the dance, there is a
lot of dance and story is molded around it. This one is no different, but the
movie lacks one other basic ingredient the competition. We know they have been
competing for an online competition but against whom we have no idea.
Who is the “MOB”-the
Mob is all of us trying to say to the world that we exist. A group of local
dancers try to steal the limelight by their dancing sequence at abstract places
trying to have maximum hits on youtube.
For
the pros of the movies, dancing is good, more than dancing it’s the creativity
of the makers as they did sequences from a crowded street to art gallery, in
restaurant etc. The sequence in Art gallery was a major high, directed
perfectly with amazing costumes and light effects. The final show was even
better with all the stunts performed by the artists.
For
the Cons the movie lacks some originality, in the first scene itself we have
been exposed to the dancing sequence and after some time we got to know some
characters but we never see how they developed into a team, who their competitors
are. It’s a one dimensional risk that the makers took. And mostly it paid off.
The
romantic mood of the movie doesn’t step up at all till the very end, but that
is acceptable. We have Mooze in the final sequence and he is lovable as he was
in the 3rd edition.
The
story is very normal. Personal issues and problems, misunderstanding, love,
personal ambitions, business, politics all come into picture. Not anything
incredible here as I mentioned this movie is for dance.
Well
go for fun, electric, stunt based dancing and enjoy the moves in 3D. The location
of Miami has been perfect for the mood of the movie.
Step-Up
producers have to dig in deep if they want to make a next movie, the movies are
entertaining and may be commercial success, but we are certainly losing
interest in these.
