First I must say that HSM 3 is probably not going to be a hit with one who is not a fan of the other movies. This being due in part because it follows the same pattern as the previous two movies do; the high school romance, the non realistic portrayal of the modern high school, and the big song and dance numbers. However, those who love film musicals will love this film I believe. It continues where the last film ended, with the East High Wildcat gangs' Senior year. It follows the activities and worries of the average high school senior, in a cheerful and lightweight manner. Now, those who have seen the prior two films will notice that the numbers are bigger and better and are not as few and far between in the third installment. It is obvious that this is a feature film vs. a television movie, in regards to this fact. The bigger dance and music numbers are likely due to the actors gain of experience, and no doubt to a larger budget. Any person would find themselves captivated by wanting to dance in their seats, and would be smiling through the entire film. Despite it's cheesy parts, and bad acting in moments (mostly due to Vanessa or lower cast members), it has an innocent and cheerful tone throughout the movie. Is it predictable? Yes, but the film and director Kenny Ortega, did a marvelous job at taking risks, and going from the small screens at home, to the large screens of the theaters. The crew also did well with catering to an adult audience who takes their young children to see the film. It resembles many other moments in musical film history, making it enjoyable to various ages; from young to old, and anything between. And unlike most threequels, this one is the best of the three movies, a perfect end to a much loved and popular series of films. :)

High School Musical 3: The Review
So, I know some of you read reviews on other blogs, but I want to start posting mine here. I really think I could be a critic, (even though I love most movies), I can talk about them as an artform and form of entertainment as well....So here's my HSM 3 ReviewFirst I must say that HSM 3 is probably not going to be a hit with one who is not a fan of the other movies. This being due in part because it follows the same pattern as the previous two movies do; the high school romance, the non realistic portrayal of the modern high school, and the big song and dance numbers.
