Faithful but not upgrade

Rating: 6/10 (6 May 2019)

As far as remakes go, you cannot be much more faithful than this. It takes an absolute classic movie and updates it in all aspects from music to cast. The movie hits all the same beats as the original. So as far as most of the plot it is just as good. The dancing in my opinion is more well choreographed this time but even still there doesn't seem to be that special. I do have to appreciate the fact that they kept in pretty much every iconic quote from the 9184 version. Footloose was already a 4/5 star good movie but this as a remake, while faithful, is not quite as well done (acted among other things) as that original.
