High School Musical Three: Senior Year Disappointment

I was so disappointed with High School Musical Three. I paid good money to take my family to watch it but I was so let-down by the overly dramatic concert that I saw. There was no clear plot just song after song after song after song after song... oh yeah, did I mention there were too many songs?

There were too many songs there wasn't any story. All the characters looked like they were from "A Beautiful Mind," suddenly breaking out into song and then waking up from some weird trance that nobody else noticed.

High School Musical One was pretty good with a theme to break down stereotypes and be the person you want to be, finding true love and all that high school mushy stuff. That was nice because they all actually had a reason to sing - or most of the time they had a reason anyway.

Then came High School Musical Two, where they all went to work for the summer. That was fun because it was all games and it explored the naughty side of Sharpay Evans, as well as expose the good side of Ryan Evans.

The third time around, I think they tried to play up Corbin Bleu's character but to no avail. They tried to do so many things there wasn't any clear delineating story line anymore. Just a bunch of songs. It wasn't a movie, it was a concert that was made into a movie.

Or maybe my expectations were just way too high? They were on the right track when they stuck in that pretentious/ambitious English girl who was out to get Sharpay (played by Ashley Tisdale). That was very good, if only they were able to explore that more instead of just focusing on Gabriella and Troy's undying love story all the time.

Come on, there wasn't even a real climax to the movie. It's quite sad really that it had to end that way. Also why was Troy Bolton- the basketball star giving the last speech? That was a little confusing. Then again, this series was really more about the life of Troy - handsome, adorable, millionaire, soon-to-be one of hollywood's most expensive actors, Zac Efron. I pity and envy Vanessa Hudgens both at the same time.
