Title: High School Musical
Post by: Stitch on August 16, 2007, 09:32:19 PM: Has anyone else seen this? In my opinion, it was very good. I can't wait for the sequel (tomorrow at 8:00 pm).

Post by: Keni on August 16, 2007, 09:37:03 PM: I saw it too. I thought it was pretty good. Songs were catchy.

I find it funny how many people flame this movie like there's no tomorrow, it's like they dislike creative movies like these, and that's kind of sad if you ask me. We could use some more movies like these, but that's just me.

Post by: F-14 Ace on August 16, 2007, 11:12:06 PM: I've seen High School Musical and I've seen Grease and my opinion is that Grease is vastly surerior in every way. I didn't particularly care for the acting in High School Musical either.

Post by: Sky on August 17, 2007, 05:10:37 AM: Wait. Did you say sequel "tomorrow"?
You mean "High School Musical 2"?

It was a very good movie. I liked the songs too. :^.^:

Post by: Petrie. on August 17, 2007, 06:47:53 AM: Haven't seen it, however, I've been less than impressed with Disney channel and whats been coming out of it so chances are, High School Musical isn't for me.

Grease wasn't bad, considering most of the actors (save two) were much older than the role they played. Channing was 30-something. :p

Post by: WeirdRaptor on August 20, 2007, 06:37:53 AM: I'm with Petrie on this one. It looks stupid and very typical. Jock does something articulate, so the whole school goes insane over it. Been there, done that...too many times.

I saw a part of it, and it was quite nice. We¥ll do a musical at our school, like the film. I love it to sing^^. I hope I¥ll get much parts where I can sing. :^.^:

Post by: KingdomKey23 on August 20, 2007, 10:10:11 AM: I thought it looked rather cheesy. There was some good use of Disney humor, and the songs weren't too bad, but I dunno...I guess I didn't like that movie all too much.

Same here.

Post by: Petrie. on August 20, 2007, 09:23:10 PM: Disney would do better to make a REAL musical. ;) ;)

Post by: Manny Cav on August 20, 2007, 09:33:42 PM: Would something like The Lion King or Marry Poppins fall into this category? Because those two are classic awesomeness.

As am I. Just looks like a mixture of Grease and any Disney Channel show, in my opinion.

Post by: Petrie. on August 21, 2007, 07:13:32 AM: Yes, LK and Mary Poppins would. I was thinking more on the line of a possible remake of classic musicals like they did with Meredith Willson's Music Man (though I don't get Matthew Broderick as Harold Hill).

Post by: WeirdRaptor on August 21, 2007, 05:51:55 PM: Disney couldn't make a real musical now, even if they wanted. "High School Musical" is about as good as it gets now. Eisner ruined the company.

Yep. Ruined it, burned it down, and pissed on the ashes. <_<

Hopefully it will revive some now that hes out of the picture.

Post by: Stitch on September 06, 2007, 10:48:47 PM: And here's another example of how popular the first one has become:

Title: High School Musical
Post by: Tikaani Strike on September 14, 2007, 08:39:42 PM: haha. As much as I really hate to admit it, I'm a fan of HSM.

It was rather...cute and cheesy, and it was rather intresting to see Disney doing an actual TV musical. True, it DID become bigger than i ever hoped (or wanted) it to be, but still, we all know Disney's ways. Make. money. Fast.

The second one was OK...it was like almsot all Disney sequels. Cheaply made, rushed, having absolutly nothing to do with the original. And while the budget was triple the first, one would think they'd have a better script or effect. (the total 'Lion King' moment during 'Bet On It' haha.)

What did you think of the music, those who've seen it?

Post by: Sky on September 15, 2007, 02:17:04 AM: I liked the music. :^.^:
I also have some in my player. :lol:

Post by: Tikaani Strike on October 19, 2007, 07:46:47 PM: Thge music in the second one DID have a more "fun" to it than the first one, and of course featured the people left out of the first one...and no I don't mean Zac Efron. haha
