Valutazione di AJ_is_Awesomness
I was not a huge fan of the first 2 High School Musicals. One would say a formula set for money making and taking from young people of the world whilst at the same time milking the old cash cow in the process was never going to flutter in my eyes. The first was a tried and tested approach to reproducing the next best 'thing' in the Disney tweenie bop department, but it worked quite well leading onto many other followups of the same league (The Hannah Montanna esquire audience will agree.) The sequel was obviously a cash in to sell more merchandise but it was arguably as good as the first, with many more catchy tunes and typical High School cliques for the little ones to boggle at. So here we are, back again with High School Musical 3: Senior Year. But this time we are taking things to a whole new level. The BIG screen in fact!
The concept here is the biggie- all our HSM stars are about to leave and start their new lives at different universities dotted across the map, but for some, like Gabriella and Troy this seems like too big of a step to take too soon (just listen to the song and you will be welling up like a baby.) Instead of prying and worrying about losing contact, the students decide to perform in one last musical, primarily about themselves and their own hopes and fears towards growing up. But of course the real question here is will Gabriella and Troy really lose each other for good? Will Sharpay ever be the main show girl? Can Ryan outshine his twin sister and become the next big American sensation? And will Troy give up the Wildcats after graduation?
What works with HSM3 is the fact that it tenders towards being incredibly sweet, but not too sickly for its own good. The songs are catchy, and whilst some feel a bit icky (like Sharpay's never giving up on fame song) they tend to be toe tapping and carry a feel good vibe missing from the previous two. The acting is relatively good considering most of the action is singing (or rather miming) and the dance choreography is stunning this time around, particularly in the High School Musical song right at the very end and the Junkyard scene with Troy and Chad. Things are also a lot more grown up this time around and director Kenny Ortega doesn't shy away from portraying the harsh realities of growing up. Relationships end, friendships are threatened and each individual is portrayed how most graduates leaving High School would be feeling at the given time. Its really quite an emotional movie taken away the bright and brassy songs and at quite a few points its noticeable as you reflect on your own experiences. Aside from the teenage gooey stuff there still remains the childish in-jokes (like a rehash of Troy's favourite toys from when he was little) and plenty of eye candy for visual viewers. The sets are lavishing and the costumes are gorgeous. It feels so theatrical but is all the better for it. There is also slapstick thrown here, there and everywhere, like when Sharpay has to duet alongside 'Rocket Man' and her reaction to his intentions. Classic! So, for the most part High School Musical is amazing. Its breathtaking in some scenes, stunning in others and heart pulling at the rest. Its a very entertaining movie and people are going to like it.
Now sadly for the criticism. As much as I can appreciate a Disney flick, the cheese here is almost unbearable. It was obviously going to be cheesy (all of the HSM movies are) but here they take thing way ott. The beginning for example, where Gabriella suddenly pops up in the crowd at the Wildcat's game and starts singing to Troy telling him to carry on and win is almost ludicrously overdone and far fetched. Another flaw here is the fact that it darts to and fro between reality, flashbacks and daydreams so you never know if something is actually happening or whether it is indicated as a dream. And this corresponds with quite a few notable plot holes. Now I am not the best geographer in the world, but how is it possible for Troy to turn up over a thousand miles to Gabriella's campus at the university in a mere few hours to ask her to come back to the prom? This would require some big bucks (not that Zac Effron himself couldn't afford it) and a huge time lapse. Its just not possible I'm afraid and again one would say this was cheesy. I suppose if you put this aside the movie can be taken seriously, but certain things are sadly out of place and they stick out like a sore thumb.
So, a final verdict? High School Musical 3: Senior Year is a very good movie. It moves along fast, it enchants and it makes you want to get up and gooo! The acting is good, the songs are great and the dancing has improved greatly. Aside from a few flaws its a very entertaining and well made picture and one which is going to smash the box office. Move over 007! Would I watch it again? Yes. Would I go out and buy all the merchandise after seeing this? Probably. If I was the target audience anyways. One thing is for sure though, this is very good and I really loved it. I would recommend it to anyone for its feel good factor. Just see it. You will know what I mean.
