Reminiscent of "some" scenes in the original, of course a "remake" would add modern twists to todays genre and try to play towards today's younger audience... But the music remakes have nothing against the original soundtracks, and REALLY does not fit with adding crump dance scenes and Rap music...to the misic and choreography, it just doesnt fit. Absolutely cannot stand up to the choreography in the old warehouse scene. I did enjoy the modern cinemetography, and if film technology was as good in the 80s as this was done, there would be no question in my mind, this movie has nothing against the original. Soundtrack...can't go from hip hop to classic rock, and Madonna...even Miles Teller's character seemed like he was trying too hard for that comic relief with learning to dance...not as true, expressing his frustration, and trying to stay out of fights.
I would give 2 stars, but "fair" isn't a fair rating for a good effort movie that has a this much less of a stand next to the original. If there was a "eh" or "a bit less than so-so" rating...1.5 stars at best for me.
