Not even bad in a good way

Just perfect...

Better Late Then Never

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Okay so lets start at the beginning that Victoria Justice and Avon Jogia are in this movie and you think "Hay maybe they will be funny and sing well." No the songs are bad in the beginning and they just keep going down.But lets start with the charters. Five year old's on crack could have prouder a better set of charters the lead who is playing a "Rocker" is stereo typical along with Avon s character and basically every one else in this film so they could have basically left out about 98% of the people and still had a alright movie. then you have to deal with the repetitive story line you watch ten minuets of this move and you can call every thing that will happen. ow they will fall in love and Shes going to dump him after they win and of course he will leave his dreams and go back to a Dumb concert at the last minute to try to win it for them(witch they don't). but there was one spot that actually surprised me when there teacher reveled he was a rock star that quit his old band and became a public school teacher (Ya right). This show is a mutant offspring of Victorious and Glee Plus throw in HSM. I love Victoria and Avon and Victorious and Glee are great shows but this movie was just really bad with no moments that actually made you wont to continue to watch it. I counted to watch just to hear Victoria Sing two auto tuned songs and apparently see Avon beat box in the end game. but after all that what disappointing me the most about this movie is that it is 90 something minutes long. Most people could easily seal up whats happening in about 30 tops. if you don't agree watch the movie again and just barley try to look for these things and you'll find them. this "Movie" is nothing short of the worst Nick movie ever. It probably could have been better from Victoria's charter's point of view or maybe anyone Else. In the end the movie provides little satisfactions on there short jornney with no twists or turns that you cant figure out. THIS MOVIE SUCKS!

The thing with movies characterized by music and performing arts is that its essence depends largely on the relevance and the timing of its performances in relation to a particular issue in the story. Spectacular! may be underrated and under-appreciated but a deeper analysis of the film may reveal quite a degree of sense and heart in it lying behind its seeming superficiality.The movie can be summarized through its four (4) songs strategically performed in different parts of the story.The first song contains lines such as "I'm living my life just the way I like", "Don't tell me what I got to do, who I wanna be 'coz it's me who'll choose", "No more rules coz I just don't have the time", "I wanna go crazy and no one's gonna stop me." As it was performed, we are practically introduced to the band singer, Niko, a teenager aspiring to be a recording star who got dumped by his own band and girlfriend at the same night. Soon, however, he was recruited by a performing choir leader who has been accustomed to performing inside a 'box', so to speak, and to living strictly by the rules.Conflicting perspective somehow made it quite a deal for Niko. Nothing natural, however, can be hidden for long. Soon, his outlook was discovered and surprisingly appreciated by the choir members. In fact, he started teaching the choir members new dance steps for a change.Somewhere at the middle of the movie, another song was sung containing lines such as, "For the first time, I realize something I didn't see before; for the first time, looking in your eyes, suddenly, there's so much more; something, we both feel inside, for the first time". At this point, we are drawn to the idea that Niko finally and officially got hooked into the performing choir as he started introducing new Spectacular traditions. With the choir members at his back, he actually began sharing in their dream of winning and soaring to heights. He, somehow, forgot his former band and his own aspiration and became one with the new group.The third song is the group's entry to the national competition containing lines such as, "You give me something to believe in after all we've been through; the love you gave, it all comes back to you", "… and here with you is where I'm meant to be". As in any other group endeavoring to soar, unpleasant things sometimes happen, test of character, difficult choices to be made, truth uncovered during the worst of circumstances, break ups. Good thing is that people are almost always drawn to where their heart is. Realizing that he taught the group something new to believe in and that it's heartless to just abandon and fail them after what they've been through, Niko made the most risky decision in his lifetime.Little did Niko knew that this unselfish act would be greatly rewarded. As he soared in his newfound career, even the ones around him who lost their radiance found their way to reinvent themselves and soar with him.The last song is the end credits song containing lines such as, "Coz everything can change when you least expect it", "Can't stop what you can't control, gotta learn how to just let go", "some things turn out much better the way it is with us". It's practically a good summary and I guess everything that happened in the story already speak for themselves…*

This movie is great, as I've already pointed out. Its completely different from anything before it. It does not compare to HSM in the way of musicals. Though is well written and perhaps not the best acting, but good enough for a teen drama fest, if you ever had a dream or have one now it really makes you feel better where HSM doesn't. It can hold its own. As long as you give it a chance. There are some really good scenes in it and some nice camera work. but i think what really needs to be looked at is the choreography the dancing in it and how well it ends up working. especially on the rooftop. the song do your own thing is probably what makes this musical. it makes it worth watching just to hear the song. And to see how well it flows in the storyline.

Nothing like HSM. It's a musical, but it's completely different. Show Choir, sounded really stupid before watching, but I think the point gets made, to each their own. Even better, when different tastes and talents mix together for one big Spectacular! It's a great storyline, the kind we need more of. It wasn't corny or stupid. Well, the cow costumes were "lame." I'll admit that one. One comparison though, the writer of this movie, enjoyed the final stage performance on Sister Act II. It works though. It was different enough from what's already been done, to have made it worth watching. And it would be worth it for Nickelodeon to make a Spectacular 2!
