The greatest movie ever made..!
I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.
View MoreA lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
View MoreYes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
View MoreThis film was exceptional for a kids film, especially for a Disney film at that! The intro with the choir was very refreshing especially since the youtube sensation singer-sisters, Chloe and Hailey, sounded amazing! I was became quite hesitant of the film, however, when it came to the first rap battle because I thought that it was another "High School Musical" with a cheesy group sing along but the raps were actually very clever! It was good, clean raps that I wouldn't mind listening to on the radio even at my age (early/middle aged, not gonna say)! The message is relatable and can be utilized in any situation. Young kids/teens nowadays are feeling like they have to conform to the trends and this film instills in their minds the importance of standing up for what you believe in. In this contemporary world that is constantly changing its not hard for children to consumed by others opinions.The songs are lyrically beautiful and the acting is genuine. Most people don't hear god, clean raps so this was very refreshing because rap is poetry and it can be meaningful but in this generation it seems that rap is only viewed by what is hear on the radio. The actor from "everybody hates chris" does a wonderful job at portraying the loyal protagonist in the film. He adds humor to the film and enhances it in every other aspect. I suggest you watch this film because it will make your day. I would have expected a different ending but hey the film made me smile the entire time.As for the comment pertaining to the cast with a rating of one star. You all can tell that a child wrote that. The many careless errors was appalling. Besides that, why would you criticize the ethnicity of the cast members. Is it because they're black or is it because it's one of the first recent films to feature a majority black cast with a few white people. Is it uncomfortable to sit on the other side because that comment was unnecessary and so hypocritical when many films were made with a majority white cast (with very few black people) and no one says anything about that. In fact people judged their acting skills instead. Why point out the obvious when it doesn't even matter. That comment made me sick b/c knowing that those type of individuals with closed and pitying mindsets still exist in the world. It seems that there will never be a time when a film like this won't be praised for "giving colored people a chance on the big screen" but solely on the concept and the message of the film. By the way her outfits look that way throughout the film because her manager was trying to "trendy", hence the last "Lady Gaga"-inspired look. did you even watch the film? (<-- to whoever wrote that comment).
View MoreThis film... This beautiful film, has showed me me how to live life. It taught me to be myself when I go to the club and to sing to my fullest potential. All the people that have not seen this film, not only does it give a message coming from the heart, but it teaches children how their life to the fullest. My little sister forced me to watch this film, I tried to resist. I ended up watching it. Expecting it to be awful, I sat and watched it. However, it was not awful. I am a twenty year old man, that cried during this movie, it was very emotional. It teaches that friends may or may not stay true to you forever. To all the haters of this movie, you don't know art, just pure art. You all probably like terrible movies such as Frost/Nixon or Citizen Kane or any other terrible movie. In my own personal opinion, I would go to the nearest Best Buy, go to the kids section, and pick up this masterpiece.
View MoreI saw the previews and promos for this movie and what really pushed me to watch it was the hip-hop sound and the fact that Tyler James Williams was apart of it, seeing as I loved him on "Everybody Hates Chris", and I told 1 of my best friends to see it and he did, but I didn't see it until tonight, pretty funny huh? Anyway, I thought this movie was well done and I found it to be incredible in story(though it was slightly predictable), the music was really sophisticated(especially coming from Walt Disney Records), the dialogue wasn't cheesy in the slightest bit, and overall it was awesome to watch. This is only the 2nd Disney channel movie where the cast was African-American and I was alright with it mainly because I've seen mostly white people on their shows(I'm not being racist it's true)so I'm glad they changed it up for this movie. I didn't like how Cyrus' father was critical towards hip-hop/rap and claiming it was considered "devil music" and that it was going against God, but his apology and turn to accept it made up for it and there were times where "Lord of Da Bling" would just mess with Cyrus and I was wishing he would just fight back and call him out with a freestyle but he didn't and that was really disappointing for me. Also Kris and Cyrus' fight I thought would've ruined their friendship for good, but I'm glad it didn't. The soundtrack was incredible and the songwriters were really good, my personal favorite songs were "Don't Run Away", "Guardian Angel" and "Moment of Truth". I expected this movie to be just OK, but it was awesome and really cool, so I give it a 9 out of 10 and it's one of the more mature and less childish and cheesy DCOMs and for the most part it didn't feel like a Disney channel movie at all. It has its flaws, just as every movie does, but those flaws weren't big enough to prevent me from enjoying it, but I don't think it was quite as good as Lemonade Mouth. This movie gets a 9/10 from me and it was great, but it clearly doesn't have sequel potential, however, these stars could easily go on tour and perform songs from the movie. Keep it up Disney!!!!!!!
View MoreThis movie was really great, and my whole family enjoyed it.This move has surprising twists and turns that all come back together to create a wonderful master piece. A lot of movies you see on Disney are usually Caucasian, but this movie was great including the fact that most of the actor were African American. It showed us idea of rap without the fowl language, women, and money. It showed us that rap and r&b can be about compassion, caring, and love. It showed us that if you set your mind for things and worked hard it can happen. I feel as if this connected to not just African Americans but people threw out America about the work of hip-hop.I loved this movie and i think it deserves a 8 out of 10.
