Nov. 9th, 2007 04:38 pmSo I just watched Stomp The Yard.
The bits of dance scenes that the showed in previews were what made me want to see it. And I've heard that the scenes were enough to make the movie with watching. As great as they were, I beg to differ.
What scenes there were were awesome. I've always found dancing to be fascinating, and this was no exception. The opening scene was astounding...the end was pretty good, but nowhere near as good. There were a few descent, far too short scenes in the middle. The whole thing was one of the most superficial, ridiculously predictable stories I've ever seen. I can't remember the last time I sat through a movie whose story I could predict so easily. And character development was nonexistent.
I could have done with a lot more of the dance scenes. The combinations of dancing and gymnastics was incredible. Unfortunately there wasn't enough of it.
