Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
Protraph Lack of good storyline.
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
zacharychitwood When a soundtrack of a movie can raise my level of enjoyment, well then i don´t know how good that makes the movie. But i loved this film when i was younger and i still think it´s very good. The soundtrack is probably the best thing about it. But the soundtrack is so great it makes an already good film great. If you like musicals, more specifically, musicals directed to kids an teens, this film is for you.
tgbarker-26364 I cant wait for the next one ,he is so good at basketball and acting is absolutely incredible
snesser-31817 Although I love the High School Musical movies, the first one is a 6 at BEST. Compared to the second one, this movie has insufficient characters, locations, and even songs. The songs in the second movie are far superior to the first one. Even the characters. In the second movie, the characters are way more developed than the first movie. We don't have a solid character plot of even the main characters. Think about the reason that this movie happened in the first place, a random guy just wanted to set random people up to sing together. No! it was definitely an inside job from the government or school to have both Troy and Gabriella sing together and then coincidentally send them to the same school! No way! The plot points of the second movie are much more developed than the first and, to be honest, it is just no comparison.
genemorrissey High School Musical is about a teenager at a school were he's known as the basketball kid who is the best at basketball and only plays basketball. then one year a new girl comes to the school who he met over the Christmas holidays and performed a duet with his life will change and he'll start to have a life for theater. The teenage boy is played by Zac Efron who is outstandingly terrible. Some of the line of dialogue he delivers is so poor I was nearly in tears laughing. And that is the reason I watched this film, to have a laugh and enjoy myself. There are definitely parts of High School Musical which are painfully awful. The songs, as this is a musical, are very bad. They use a lot of auto-tune which mostly makes them sound robotic. If you watch this film and manage to take it seriously then that's an achievement as parts of High School Musical are so dumb and badly acted that you will cringe.Having said that there are parts of High School Musical that are a bit weird, a bit off, a bit... good. Yeah, I actually found parts of this film to be really good. It's definitely not a great film but some of the actors in it are really well performed. For example Ashly Tisdale and Lucas Grabeel as the Evens siblings are performed in an over the top way that is found really well done, there were times were it got a little bit annoying but for the most part they managed to balance it out really well. Olesya Rulin plays a shy pianist who isn't in the film for very long and even the scenes she was in she didn't have many lines but i thought she was really really good. I said she didn't have many lines but her performance wasn't really about that, it was all about reacting to thing and she did it in a really good way and as soon as you saw her on screen just from the way she dressed and the way she walked you could tell what kind of a character she was, unlike other character were is they were part of the skater group they would just give them backwards hats and make them look all cool and rad. Also she always seemed really she and reserved when she was just walking around but when she played piano she became all bright and confident. High School Musical has scenes that are great because your laughing about how bad they are and scene that aren't actually bad at all.
