they stepped up too many times

source: wearemoviegeeks.com
People who love dancing and like the “Step Up” movies, will be happy to hear that they have come back with a fourth movie in the step up franchise, hopefully this is the last. They are all starting to look the same, boy meets girl, girl meets boy, they share a passion for the dance, they fall in love and win a contest.

The first three movies were exactly like that. In this fourth installment of step up they don’t dance to win a contest though, they dance to save their neighborhood. Out of all four movies, the second step up movie was the best, in my opinion.  Don’t get me wrong the third one had its moments, like the introduction of robot Rock and the tutting guy during the end credits now he was cool, but moments don’t make a movie.

If you watched step up 2 and then step up 3 you’d see that they repeat some of the dance sequences, the water scene, is in both movies. The choreography keeps changing atleast.
 I do believe that summit and touchstone should have stopped with the step up movies after the second one, it’s just too much now. We may never get tired of the dancing but the movies and their silly plots, I’m not so sure.
Tutting = changing the angle of your arms to the beat, dancing with your hands and arms practically.

  3. Dancing is all about repeating some steps and creating new ones. I don't think step up three is so boring but if you can look at it again, you will see that they try to implement what they did in part 1 & 2. That movie incourages those who take dancing as a career.

  4. It does get boring when a movies' theme is obvious. I believe Summit and Touchstone should learn from Twilight movies which are unpredictable. I think the reason for Step-up 4 is because it is in 3D and most people are interested in 3D movies.
