oh no, what have you done?

Rating: 4/10 (15 May 2020)

Remakes. Reboots. Remakes. Reboots. Hollywood is stuck in a vicious cycle, releasing up to date versions of classic hits, and they just can't seem to leave the 80's alone! Footloose was one of them, and when it comes to feet, Footloose 2011 trips over their own. The colors that made the 1984 film so great....not here! The music that made the 1984 film so great....gone! The magic that made the 1984 film so great....doesn't exist here. And the story and romance, the mind blowing energies that made the 1984 film such a hit....it's not here, people. So what does 2011 Footloose have to offer you? Not much. Bland performances, pathetic dances to songs that already nobody listens to anymore, and not a rich character in the cast to be seen. It's as if they took all the meat and potatoes out of the picture, and just left you with scraps and fat....well, heh heh heh....we can't make blockbusters like that, can we, boys and girls? Lazy, feels rushed, and it's just not upbeat enough, if at all, to even carry the Footloose name. If you want to "loose" anything, lose the attitude that you're going to make a lot of money off of films that never needed a reboot to begin with. What can I say. Some stars just don't shine. And none of the stars shine in 2011 Footloose. Oh no, what have you guys done to our beloved 80's classic? Pulled the meat cleaver out, and THWACKED on it! Too many hits with the weapon makes this a miss, pass it up by all means, and do yourself a favor....if you're tired of all the remakes and reboots, say NO to Hollywood, and start watching indie films. Independent films don't believe in it and the dumb sequels. They just make great movies. Hollywood deserves to suffer.
