After much anticipation Camp Rock premiered on the Disney Channel last night!! I thought the premise was cute and the messages were great. And of course I loved the Jonas Brothers. I thought Kevin’s birdhouse scenes were hilarious! But for some strange reason I found myself nitpicking a lot of it!! Here are some of my thoughts:
- I wanted to see more. I thought they showed some characters more than they should have, and they didn’t show some characters enough!! I wanted to see more of Caitlynn and her storyline. I definitely wanted to see more of Jason and Nate (Kevin and Nick). I thought we saw way too much of Tess! (And she was a character I looked forward to seeing!)
- The dancing could have been better. I thought the dancing was kind of just “blah”. It wasn’t very crisp, it wasn’t very clean. It also wasn’t really in sync in places!! Perhaps I watch too much So You Think You Can Dance, but I expected more.
- The love story was unrealistic. Shane just randomly falls in love with a girl who tells him off and listens to his song? The time line seemed out of order for a Cinderella type story. He should have spent his time chasing down the “girl who sang the song” and THEN fell in love with Mitchie.
- The plot line was off. Even though the movie lasted two hours, I felt like it was rushed and not very put together. We only saw a couple of real camp scenes with classes. Most of the movie centered around the “acts” at night. It made the other scenes feel rushed.
So what are your Camp Rock thoughts?
THAT WAS THE BEST MOVIE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! And the reason that Tess looked at Mitchie’s songbook was because that she overheard Shane singing the song and she remebered that Micthie sang that the first night in the cabin and when she realized that it was Mitchie that Shane overheard she realized that if she wanted to win Final Jam, she had to get rid of Mitchie. The movie made more sense to me then HSM did because we KNOW why Tess is mean. We never find out why Sharpay was mean. I deffinatly would have liked to see more of Nick and Kevin though. And Peggy wasn’t really playing the guitar during the Final Jam. and the dancing was more beliveable in Camp Rock then HSM because in CR they practiced and practiced the dancing while in HSM they NEVER practiced and some how they ALL knew the moves to EVERY dance.
I actually really liked it.. I didn’t think anything was wrong about the movie.. But yeah when tess took mitchie’s book i thought she was gonna go find shane and sing it to him.. But i really loved it.. I loved the songs and the meaning of it was awesome! I will absolutly be watching it again and buying the dvd! They are all great actors
I agree with you EXACTLY. Where was the plot? It seemed to have been lost about 5 minutes into the movie. The transitions weren’t very well done either.
omg the second to last song tht demi sang reminded me of like a song tht vanessa would sing in hsm and also like it reminded me of like an ashlee simpson song or the song from raise ur voice like the last song but w/e hsm was so much better and also this movie on like 4 nights god way to like promote it just a bit o also lol the end song when they r singing together looking in each others eyes is like the breaking free song in hsm ok i am stopping
it was cute. it didnt feel like 2 hours long!!! that “too cool” song was annoying. the songs werent as good as hsm tho.
i loved camp rock it was the best!!!
it rocked!!!!!!!!!!!
I think the choreography was better in Camp Rock compared to high school musical 1 and 2.
I thuoght the same as everyone else what was the point of that scene with Tess I thought maybe it was the point where she realised she had to “destroy” her. But i dont know
i thought it was okay. they didn’t really live up to what i thought it was going to be. i would have liked to see less of tess, more nick, more of a love story that would actually happen, more of caitlynn, and more camp classes and a lot more background. i wasn’t a very big fan of the songs and dances but i loved hasta la vista, camp rock, this is me, and joe and demi’s duet!
I agree! it was rushed and i didn’t like it at all!
yeah..what was the point of stealing the songbook of mitchie?? and I thought it was a 1 hour movie
Disney Hyped it up so much It may have gotten alot of viewers but it was very predicitiable and some of the things in it were very pointless I like HSM way better
true, sorta. but it beat HSMs BUTT.
i thought Tess was going to steal the song “This is Me” and that when she said Mitchie stole something from her that she would be talking about the song and Tess would forget the words or something and totally screw up, then they would find out it was Mitchie’s song and she would sing or something! I think it could have been better, but i still LOVED it!!!!!
i agree with all of that but really who cares?? like i would enjoy it either way. its all about the buildup and stuff. thats what i think is fun!! i had so much fun with my friends watching it together it really dosent matter to me :)
I like it, well definitely be watching it again but i wanted to see more of the campers as well and also more of camp life, maybe more classes.
But I still love it
Loved it but tess was in it alot
i thought it could have been way way wayyyy better… i’m sorry to say it.. but it definitely did not top hsm
I didn’t like the movie!
I thought she was going to sing it too! And she said some of the lyrics for the song, so I thought she was going to memorize it or something. But I guess she didn’t.
@katherine – definitely! I thought that too. Tess should have stolen the songs from there or something!
