Lack of good storyline.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

You've got to admire, that they tried to take a step forward (maybe even two steps?). I wouldn't say it worked entirely, but it's nice to see them try to evolve from the usual thing they do (just to get back to it with the next one of course, but still). The dance routines are different and won't be everyones cup of tea. Especially because of the music involved (though the first one on the streets is really something to be watched and enjoy).And then there is a "message" in there too. The ending might be too smooth for my liking, but you knew this was coming. Can't comment on the 3D effects of the movie, because I watched it in 2D, but the routines looked good.

I love step up so much, but this is the worst one so far. The movie starts off so good with that awesome dancing scene at the beginning and then it starts to get really boring and half the time I don't even understand what is going on in the movie. I wish that they could do something different in each Step Up movie other than just two dancers who meet and then fall in love in every movie. it just feels like the movies keep repeating itself. I could think of heaps of ideas for dancing/hip hop movies and they don't always have to have romance as half of the main story. I'm looking forward to the fifth and I know that there's going to be another romantic story in it as well. I don't understand why they can't make up another idea, too many love stories in every type of a movie will eventually just get boring.

Right, the dancing is BRILLIANT! The plot could have been written by a cat. If you've ever watched the other Step Up films, this one's no different. You know what, if you put the plot-writing cat up there for acting, it would be Oscar-Winning compared to the 'actors' doing the film. It's another similarity to the other Step Ups; amazing dancers, crap actors. The floozy in the film's ballet dancing is influenced by the Mob's street dancing. Oh, there's another one for the list! The girl does ballet. Lacking originality, acting, and a good plot, it would get a 4. But, since the dance scenes are pretty spectacular, it's going up to a 6. All I can say is I hope they bring back Moose for the next movie!!!

STEP UP: REVOLUTION has its share of innumerable fans, and the choreography (by Jamal Sims, Christopher Scott, Chuck Maldonado and Travis Wall) is attractive enough and inventive throughout, but really, much ado about nothing. Ryan Guzman and Kathryn McCormick (from Season 6 of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE) are earnestly appealing leads/dancers, Peter Gallagher is on board to lend credence to the proceedings, and the gorgeous production design by Carlos Menéndez matches bountiful eye candy strewn through out this semi-musical, but the story can't stand much scrutiny, especially caricatures of big business, and the supporting cast either just dance their way into the film or meander and amble throughout the several stage-pieces, literally and figuratively.However, this kind of film serves as a stepping stone for the likes of the handsome Guzman and the stunning McCormick (both of them can act as well), and for a dancer like me, the whole film is a visual feast for the (terpsichorean) senses. Aaron Zigman's edgy music and Matt Friedman/Avi Youabian's film editing spice up Scott Speer's direction, more a compilation of dancing scenes than a great movie-with-dancing-in-it in the vein of DANCE WITH ME.
