SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
... View MoreMost undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
... View MoreI cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
... View MoreOne of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.
... View MoreI thought this movie was alright. It just seemed different like does not connect to the first Camp Rock at all. Overall, I did not get the same emotional feeling as I had in the first one which was sort of a disappointment. My Problems with the movie:Too many songs- Reminds me of the cheesiness of what Disney brings. Just made it seem like another clichéd film. I was also irritated when they are just talking then they randomly dance. Im disappointed because they made the elements in the second film so different which just does not connect to the first one at all.Too many holes not filled in- I felt they did not thoroughly explain parts with Nate and the bracelet,HARDLY any character development in the story. Character- Okay, the new Mitchie?? What in the world happened to her? Shy girl to bossy girl? I also do not like Demi's new hair and she wears too much makeup. She needs to go back to her old look. And man I felt like Joe Jonas in the movie was TOO needy for some reason. And last thing there was no character development in the other characters which what I was looking forward to. They hardly got a part!Now that Im done with the negatives. Here are the pros.More Elements- I like how they added in a lot more comedy in it. Like the randomness of Kevin Jonas. HUGE comic relief. His time with the kids was also the most entertaining part. Also the interaction with Joe and Nick about him being an "idiot" always put a smile on my face. I also loved the romantic scene with Demi and Joe at the ending. :) It was sweet.Songs- Even though there were TOO much songs, some of them I found enjoyable to hear. They were catchy also!I decided to rate this 5/10 because it was not the best and also not the worst.
... View MoreI saw this on Disney Channel on September 17th and was looking forward to seeing it. A sequel to the 1st one its about Camp Rock who are up against another camp called Camp Star of course the two clash together and they dance and sing to see who is the best. Demi Lovato was great in this as well as the jonas brothers who one in particular drives me nuts as he is so annoying.The music was great,the cast was alright,the duration was OK and the dialouge was OK.I like one song in particular Its on which is a great song as well as the duet between Demi & Joe.For the acting i'll give it a 5/10 For the story a 7/10 For the whole thing a 5/10 Not Oscar worthy but its alright.
... View MoreIts a "meh" its not great or bad, i think Demi changed a lot i wish she kept her hair (i liked the old "mitchie"), i think there are too many songs (except introducing me :D i loved that) too much but its still a good movie, Dem had too much (uhmm whats that called?) make up, in the last one she had less and it was better, Joe and Dem had too much parts (although that was the whole point :P) Nick and Chloe's parts were just random, i mean the binoculars and all that? Kevins and the kids were the cute parts :D and i don't get it at all (maybe i just missed that part) why did "Tess" end up with Camp Star? and in the beginning, she was just in the background...~Id give it a "meh"~
... View MoreWith the release of "Camp Rock" in 2008, Disney had found another franchise to milk alongside with "Hannah Montana" and "High School Musical"; a stereotypical movie about a regular teen chick with a regular teen problem, filled with catchy songs and some daily life vs. pop star struggles. However, the first "Camp Rock" was a movie which I genuinely enjoyed. While it's not a film of the lifetime, I found it to be sincere and quite likable. Just as most successful movie franchises, "Camp Rock" gets a sequel, but it's a well known term that most sequels aren't better than their predecessors – and unfortunately the highly promoted "Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam" is no exception and comes off as a mild disappointment.With all consideration; "Camp Rock 2" isn't exactly bad; just a little disappointing. The film does have its cute and enjoyable moments, but comes across as less compelling as a whole. The main plot isn't exactly a misplaced choice from the screenwriters (a battle versus two camps), but while the first movie didn't exactly had a groundbreaking story, it had a more stronger, internal conflict; Mitchie's (Demi Lovato) conflict with Tess (Meaghan Martin) and her identity-struggle and Shane's (Joe Jonas) internal struggle of being a cold, inaccessible person because of his fear of being fooled by someone who wanted to take use his celebrity status. Besides, the script is less structured this time and jumps from a random musical sequence to another random musical sequence and the events feel less chronological (written by the not so cleverly Dan Berendsen, which has proved his lack of skills in several script).The film wants to expand the screen time of the characters, but doesn't really take the time to develop them as they did in the first movie. The film gives more time to Shane's band members Nate (Nick Jonas) and Jason (Kevin Jonas). It's not strange that Kevin screen time gets expanded, since he's proved his comical ability and a charismatic presence in several Disney projects. But the subplot with Nate and his love interest Dana (Chloe Bridges) from the forbidden group "Camp Star" is just contrived, unnecessary and doesn't add anything to the plot. Another noteworthy notion is the appearance of Demi Lovato. Yes, this notion has been discussed before, but her appearance as Mitchie was more restrained and natural in the first movie. Now with her black hair, light tan and tons of makeup, she appears as a different character. No 'one shall blame Miss Lovato for her desire to change her appearance (after all, she's still in the puberty), but perhaps she could have waited to dye her hair after shooting the sequel? It seems like the director were more eager to turn this sequel into a "High School Musical" flick, with a more musical feel to the movie and having the characters suddenly break out into song and dancing to cheesy, choreographed dances. The tone and feel highly resembles the "HSM" sequel and the message is more kid-aimed and more kid friendly than in the first movie.Okay, enough with the complaining; I did enjoy this movie to an extent. It has more kid friendly humor this time without being awkward, while at the same time, the tone is more mature as well. The film has several catchy songs, especially the excellent duet "Wouldn't Change a Thing" between Mitchie and Shane. The film introduces us to a few new characters, as the bragging and sexy Luke (Matthew Finley), Nate's love interest Dana, her cynical father who's the leader of Camp Star and even the youngest JoBro Frankie gets a cameo. The film has also its funny, sweet and sincere moments, has an unpredictable twist to the ending and a good moral.So while "Camp Rock 2" fails to live up to its predecessor, it still makes a cute, harmless and watchable family flick. It's not a masterpiece and it's not intended to be one either, but a light TV flick which doesn't make any harm. Now let's see if Disney has intentions of making a third movie.
