I had the same thought. It looked chaotic, but hopefully the film will be more nuanced.
Seems weird that those involved bad mouthed all the old sequels and seem to have pretty much copied them.
I'd agree with that - I really liked the first two, but this one was a bit of a haphazard mess.
Aram is a great character too.
I thought this but when that's introduced as a 'theme' in Jaws 2, Brody acts like it's entirely new information to him.
Same. I watched this movie a couple weeks back and was shocked she was only 17, I thought 22-24ish.
I guess there could also have been all manner of mangled steel beneath the surface as well.
I watched it for the first time in decades today having caught the original on TV last week.
Flipping from one to the other, Grease 2 looks quite low budget (like an episode of Fame) and just lacks that professional gloss of the first one: The acting is more 'stagey', the songs weren't particularly memorable or well produced, and the cast not as good vocalists at the first time around. This was most obvious in the 'Girl for All Seasons' song where the sound mastering dropped away, making the vocals sound like they've 'shrunk' in volume (the 'ah-ah-aaaah' parts into the next line). Though that was the best song otherwise.
It killed a couple hours though, so wasn't a total write off, just suffered from the standard we've-been-here-before curse of most sequels.
I assume she just inserted herself into the life of the one who was more receptive (or naive) when she transferred to Pendleton.
I watched it already!
Still one of the best looking teen slasher films around, really great casting too.
Definitely. The mid-to-late 90s (up to 9/11, pretty much) were a very positive, progressive time. Probably wasn't paying enough attention, but on the surface everyone seemed quite peacefully stable and tolerant.
