Footloose

An interesting case in Footloose, I believe in other trama, but I found other, and is an incredible trama, I don't watch the original, and this new version is excellent, the dance scenes are fantastic, the music are fabulous, the performance of Kenny, Julianne and Dennis are fantastic. This Footloose is a new classic. I love it.

This slightly modern take on the original is great for family audiences as well as adults.

I went to go see this the other day with my gf for our 2 year anniversary (her choice) and ill admit i did enjoy it. Definitely not an oscar winner or any awards for that matter by any means, but i did enjoy it. Irts a fun energetic film with actually a few comedic lines thrown in. I never saw the original with Kevin Bacon so i dont know how to compare although my gf said it was nowheres near as good as the original but we enjoyed it. If your looking for a fun cheesy energetic film with some interesting dance moves to use up an hour and 40 min of your time then give it a watch, but if your looking for a deep story and top notch acting then maybe this isnt for you, 5.5/10

A shallow and soulless remake of Footloose from 2011 that completely missed the beat, earning a dismal one-star rating.260312 (1.0)I watched the "Footloose" remake in the theater in 2011, and it was a complete rhythmic disaster. A 1.0 rating is my way of saying it lacked all the charm, rebellion, and iconic energy of the original. Instead of a high-spirited dance film, it felt like a hollow, corporate rehash that struggled to find its own identity. The performances were forgettable, and the direction felt flat—turning a classic story of freedom into a tedious chore to sit through. In a year with much better cinematic offerings, this stood out as a tone-deaf miss that I’d rather just dance away from and forget entirely.

I rarely find a reason to log on and give my opinion about movies. But I was so bored and disappointed by this version of Footloose I had to. I went with my wife, my nieces (11 & 12) and my 8 & 11 year old daughters. I had high hopes. I did not for one second think it would be better than the original which I felt was fun. Well about 20 minutes in I thought I might fall asleep. The same movie but with less dancing, more talking, bland acting and bad music. They added all this rap and made the town dancers look too professional and the girls like Pole dancers. The character of Ren did the same dance over and over and over again. The movie was slow. And too long. And just not fun. The only improvement I saw was making Ren's uncle a good person instead of the bible thumping jerk in the first. This was a bad remake. And all 6 of us agreed.
