That horrible looking STEP UP movie did 21 million? I have no idea what to say other than, it couldn't have been as bad as PULSE was.

Did you see Pulse? Was it as terribly boring as the original Japanese film?

 

From the previews, it seemed as if they changed the story a bit for the American remake; I was hoping that meant the film would wind up better than the original. Because the original had a lot of promise but just wound up pretty boring. Good visuals, though. I guess they replicated a couple scenes - the woman jumping to her death and the plane crash? Those were the two best things about the original.

Don't they do Step Up at least 1-2 times a year? Who watches this "learning to dance while falling in love" bullshit? The only one that was any good was The Cutting Edge

Yes, I saw it and the movie just dragged its feet the whole time. It never really got going and when it did, it was just horribly boring. The plane crash scene wasn't cool at all, it felt more like a lame tact on. I don't recall a scene of a woman jumping to her death, mostly

people just burst into ash

the whole way.

 

The best scene was a cameo, which should tell you something right there.

I liked "Center Stage" but that was it.

I'll see the bolded names on DVD except for Ricky Bobby. I gotta go see that shit.

Here is a trend that horror has GOT to stop using. Blue and Black grimy scenes where everyone looks like they live in a rundown shack from hell lit by nothing but halogen blue blubs.

 

It's really stupid and annoying and dark does not always equal scary. And that seems to have been the thing PULSE was trying to do, scare you with DARK. In the end, it comes off like a lame cross between Grudge and The Ring only with even less scares, less dialogue that makes an ounce of sense, even STUPIDER people walking around and just overall a really horrible film.

 

The positives? Not sure. If you want to see Kristen Bell in a bra, you get that but you got that in MAXIM.

 

If you want to see PULSE, wait for DVD or cheapy theater. Not matinee price, definately not full price.

Actually, if you want to see Pulse watch the Japanese original on DVD. It's really good.

I can't believe it either, but there were HUGE line-ups for it in Toronto. Granted, they were mostly all club-hopping ginos but when I was coming out from seeing Pulse you could barely move inside the theatre because of the lineups..

I think everyone under estimated the dancing community.

Remember, You Got Served got quite a bit of money, and it was a piece of shit.

No. It's not. That was the whole point of my first post in this thread, the original Japanese version was boring and just bad, so I was wondering if they had changed the plot to make it more entertaining.

This is true, and chicks dig these flicks, so thier boyfriends/husbands go with them to so them.

 

Plus, people like to watch people dance. There's like 15 dance related shows on tv within the past 18 months or so.
