Nice effects though.

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

If you were a teenager or on your early 20's back in 1984, this was probably an epic movie. It had all the elements that at that time were HIP and HOT.What is not to love about that? The fashion of those days was amazing!, If it wasn't so, then WHY are we seeing the resurgence of so many 80's fashion staples as Skinny Jeans, NEON colors (Oh yeah!, this is my favorite!), and the all famous tank tops in bright colors with words and fancy designs in the front? I am not going to lie, for today's standards this is not a movie that you would rave about unless you want to make fun of it. Graphics, music, and styles change, but for those of us who used to break dance, trade mix tapes, and carry our own boom box, this was an awesome movie! Even now a days I still feel that the only thing I will regret at the end of my life is that I never got to pursue dancing an become a "SOLID GOLD" professional dancing girl! :(Watching it today, after so many years brought back some amazing memories and I can't deny that I was smiling the whole time! Not only that, but seeing Neon all over the screen made me feel so nostalgic! After all this years, I still wish I could rock some of those fashions I saw in the movie! Whenever I go to the mall and see some neon fashions, I know that back then, I would have killed to own some of the stuff that is around today! I no longer have the energy, body, and stamina to dance like in those days, and I cannot wear the same clothes, but how I loved seeing it the way it really was back then!!Dancing numbers are still cool, Fashion was off the charts, acting was not the best, but WHO CARES? this was not an Oscar contender, this was a movie made for those of us who were kids at that time who enjoyed the same things that made it the great movie that it is.So no, it is not for everyone, but for those of us who lived, danced, and enjoyed the early 80's this still is a favorite, and a great movie!! Dancing is universal, and even if the music styles are different, you have to appreciate the moves!!

Sequel to the '80s "classic" Breakin' with an old Mickey Rooney/Judy Garland plot about putting on a show to save a community center. The same main characters are back and haven't changed any. Turbo (Michael 'Boogaloo Shrimp' Chambers) is still the fun and likable one with the best dance moves. Ozone (Adolfo 'Shabba-Doo' Quinones) is still kind of a downer with a huge chip on his shoulder. He's also the weakest dancer in the movie. Kelly aka Special K (Lucinda Dickey) is still the rich girl who has big decisions to make about her career and her love life. Her dancing has significantly improved from the first movie. Lucinda is as pretty as ever but she has competition now from Turbo's girlfriend, played by the lovely Sabrina Garcia (whose Spanish-speaking voice sounds like it was dubbed by a child). The epic rivalry with Electro Rock continues and we get a fun dance-off out of it. There's more dancing this time around with Turbo's gravity-defying dance scene a highlight. As with the first movie, it's pretty cheesy but amusing in its way. It certainly has nostalgic value for people of my generation. If you don't take it seriously you'll probably enjoy it more.

Breakdancing is easily the funniest fad of the last 50 fifty years. There are so many hilarious moments in this movie, you will not regret renting it.The fashion is audacious. The attitudes are ridiculous. The music is silly. But above all, it's entertaining. It's a high-budget visual spectacle that merits attention.It's also a political piece. It's about rich versus poor, haves versus have-nots. Ultimately it's a testament to the will of the human spirit, be it poppin', rockin', or breakin'.Boogaloo Shrimp is an awesome character. So is Shabadoo, and don't forget Sugarfoot. Ice T proves that he was a sell-out as way back as 1984.

If this isn't the worst film ever made, then whatever's worse is a well kept secret. Lucinda (Thunder Thighs) Dickey as well as the rest of the cast make comical figures of themselves. It's the usual story...big bad business wants to take away the rec center from kids who in real life would be hijacking liquor stores. I think they were trying to make a knock off of West Side Story. It would be more appropriate to name it Blind Side Story. What a gagger.
