High School Musical 3: Senior Year Trailers

It's almost graduation day for high school seniors Troy, Gabriella, Sharpay, Chad, Ryan and Taylor — and the thought of heading off in separate directions after leaving East High has these Wildcats thinking they need to do something they'll remember forever. Together with the rest of the Wildcats, they stage a spring musical reflecting their hopes and fears about the future and their unforgettable experiences growing up together. Will their final show break them apart or bring them together for the greatest moment in Wildcat history?

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

After the surprise success of 'High School 1' and the smash hit that was 'High School 2' you can't blame Disney for not only wanting to continue the franchise, but also give it a big budget cinema release.The plot, as with the first two centres around a musical and the young students romantic and future plans. It involves a lot of songs (some good, some annoyingly bad) and of course, this being Disney, a squeaky clean happy ending.The acting ability of the youngsters has improved greatly, and it is clear to see why in particular Zac Efron has become the breakout star. The cast manage to carry off some of the more silly aspects of the plot well and with the conviction that it needs.I saw the extended version of this film and some of the scenes did feel a little pointless. One of the perks of the first film was that it was short and snappy.For the most iconic moments and songs then the first film in the trilogy is still the one I'd recommend, but for a fun family film this one still has a lot to enjoy.

This third episode is about the last year in high school and the graduation. I have only seen few images before watch the movies and i've thought it will start with the graduation, but the graduation only appears at the end. The big problem with this film is the duration, it's 2 hours long and i think it was too long. Some scenes bored me, when Troy meet Gabriella at her balcony for example. Otherwise, and like in the second movie, the songs were nice. The final was great but this episode will be the worst of the trilogy for me because of the boring scenes. There was an idea of a fourth episode which take place in college, it could be good but it has been canceled.

Anybody who believes that a Disney movie is going to have great acting skills needs to wake up. The same thing needs to be said for those who think that they will be serious or believable. Disney thrives on the imagination, so for those who don't like this movie because people don't just break out into song in real life, welcome to the world of Disney.That being said, I enjoyed this movie immensely. It is a step up from the original two. The only reason why it got a lower rating was that more people went and saw it, and they didn't like it for reasons posted above.The acting is decent enough, despite what I mentioned above. Corbin and Monique are good as the two lovebirds who are there for our main characters. Ashley is just as evil as ever, and Lucas knows how to dance and have a good time. And let's not forget our lead actors; Zac and Vanessa aren't the best actors today, but they seem to be having a great time together here; it really is a shame that they are broken up now.However, if anything, you are here to see the musical numbers. This is where HSM 3 is a step up from the first two. Because it's a big-screen movie unlike the first two, the musical numbers have to be bigger and better, and bigger and better they are. You've got the great chorus numbers, "Now or Never," "I Want it All," "A Night to Remember," the show itself, a graduation rendition of "We're all in this together," and, of course, a song called "High School Musical;" then you've got the softer songs called "Right Here, Right Now," "Can I Have this Dance" (which is the best love song between Troyella out of the series), "I Just Wanna be with You," "The Boys are Back," "Walk Away," and "Scream." All the songs are much catchier than the ones from the first two, and they are the movie's highlights.All in all, check your brain at the door and just sit and have a good time. That's what this movie is about. If you go in thinking that the actors are going to receive academy awards, with a movie that takes itself seriously, then you are setting yourself up for failure. Everybody should know this. A 9/10 for me.

Took the girls and one of Caroline's friends to see High School Musical 3 this afternoon. I knew there would be sacrifices that came with the children, I just didn't appreciate the extent of them. Basically, this would have been a 2nd rate straight-to-video release and only received theatrical distribution based on the runaway success of the first two installments. Here are some random thoughts I had while I dozed in the theater: Who the hell sets a movie in Albuquerque? It's like the Dayton of the Southwest.In several scene Zac Efron wears his pants around the middle of his ass which apparently is the style these days. If I were in charge this would be a illegal. For God's sake pull up your pants America! Corbin Blue has gotten a little fat Ashley Tisdale sports the recently rebuilt nose in this one. I think the major problem with cosmetic surgery is that everyone who has it sort winds up with the same look to them. Also at 23, she is starting to look a little long in the tooth to be playing a high school senior. Of course, this may be sexist given that Michael J. Fox played high school kids well into his 30s.Vanessa Hutchins character is a Latina who dreams of going to Stanford which is exactly the same story line as In the Heights Lucas Grabeel, who at 24 is also a little old to be playing a high schooler, plays the kid who is really good at choreography. Because this is a Disney movie he talks a girl to the prom.Bart Johnson, who plays the father, looks exactly like Jason Bateman who plays the reluctant husband in Juno
