I started watching this movie being a little curious never having seen any street dance film before. Boy was I in for some entertainment. Some reviews claimed no story, although recognising how brilliant some of the moves where. If anyone else thinks this is just run of the mill, then please tell me your favourites because I'm watching them too! Me? I found the story as valid as any of the dance classics (Dirty Dancing is always going to come mentioned). A crew that wants to be heard so they can make a name for themselves, and end up wanting to be heard to have a voice and fight for what they have. The dance choreography was phenomenal, creativity to the max. Each I find breaking the previous, and the end scene perfect. That end scene then ties closer to the picture directing, wow, it's great. The final duet dance with the cityscape and sundown behind them. Its magic. Will it/ could it become a classic? Depends if the protagonists make it in the cinema world! (I believe) It's that good.

Step up 4:Revolution or "miami heat" as entitled On IMDb is the 4th installment in the step up series, one that should not have been a series in the first place, especially if the best you could do to tie in characters is bring them in towards the end (moose, keedo, madd chadd)through a character that probably shouldn't have been in this film (Jason played by Stephen "twitch" Boss")in the first place. The best way to describe this movie would be inconsistent and sloppy in every aspect of the film,whether it's the cinematography work done by Karsten "Crash" Gopinath,editing that was pieced together by Matthew Friedman and Avi Youabian, or just the terrible slurring and mumbling of lines by nearly every person in this film if you can call it that. It literally took me three hours to watch an hour and a half long movie because I kept pausing to complain about it. I would go as far as to say that this movie would've probably made me happier if it was never made seeing how it could easily be one of the worst movies i've seen since Blankman. I couldn't even rate the movie with the numbers I was given,and I would suggest that Adam Shankman and Jon m. Chu start taking lesser jobs for more time around reputable actors, directors, cinematographers, etc. If anyone enjoyed this movie I would love to know why for reasons other than the dancing.

This 4th in the series is a little better than the last 2 which had degenerated into repetitive Bollywood style dance sequence movies.There is an attractive setting in Miami. The story is okay - dancers vs developers. There are some novel dance sequences with interesting costumes in original settings eg museum, office, on cars etc.The cast is alright. Ryan Guzman is pleasantly charming. Kathryn Mccormick has a pretty face but her legs are a bit stocky for a dancer. Her voice is a little squeaky. Nice to see an older Peter Gallagher as her father.Watchable for what it is. What do you expect anyway?

Okay, so I get it- this is a dance movie. Still, in the first 5 minutes I laughed out loud because it was just RIDICULOUS. I found myself asking one question the entire movie, "If most of these people don't have jobs, and the ones who do are waiters... how do they bankroll this whole thing?" There is almost too much evidence to validate this question, ahem, how many low riders were there in that first scene? A new costume for everyone, every flash mob? whoa, were those hundred dollar bills floating everywhere? I almost feel like its patronizing to bring all of this up. Undoubtedly all viewers found themselves asking the same question, don't lie. If you could get past that, then there are the massive plot holes, for instance, why would the mob be so mad when "Emily" and her idea single-handedly won the contest? Who the hell cares if Sean neglected to mention her family tree, my god, do you want the money or not BRO? I wonder about Sean's side kick too, why the hell was he a waiter if he was the computer-whiz kid who was so quickly dubbed "Hacker?" Seriously, you're a waiter? How bout that guy who doesn't speak... he has his own glass hauling truck, access to heavy machinery and exorbitant amounts of spray paint and can somehow manage to construct ornate "MOB" signs in what seems like only a few minutes. Pre-assembly must be a prerequisite if you're going to have that guys job. Damn he's good. I have an issue with their choice of location as well- if you were going to have a flash mob in a spot where you know there would be naysayers,and you are soooo concerned with getting arrested, then why would you choose a skyscraper, a place with only one way in and one way out that is likely full of security and other resistance? I couldn't believe that a second flash mob, thirsty for benjamins and blood didn't erupt when dollars started flying. Those Miami natives must all be doing okay for themselves if a cloud of bennies wasn't tempting. Lastly, I have NO IDEA how the dancers dressed like the police did not know it was beyond illegal to impersonate the police, especially at a press conference for a building ceremony. Lucky for them the Miami PD didn't get the memo and were not attending the ceremony- that is interesting. Also, what kind of guy works his butt off to be a billionaire only to roll over when 100 dancers happen to roll up and make your "already approved" construction project a little more of a headache. Seriously, that is bad for your street cred Mr. Anderson, but your hot rebel daughter evens things out a bit. Well played sir. To conclude, I have two words for Mr. Anderson, "Cleveland, really?" If you can stop yourself from asking a million questions during this movie then you'll notice that the dancing is pretty epic. Good luck, BRO.
