High School Musical 2 was a pleasant surprise. Even through all the hype and the mega success created by its predecessor, it is able to shine with improvements in all areas. The acting is better, the plot is more complex and organized, the dances were lively, and the music and lyrics are better this time around as well. One of the major things that stand out in HSM2 is that the characters are deeper and more thoughtful; Troy is faced with real dilemmas that concern his relationship with his friends and his future. Although the movie is still targeted towards children, the acting has definitely improved making the more serious moments feel more sincere. And though the movie retains its late 90's pop music vibe, The tunes remain catchier than ever and the lyrics are less cheesy, with the exception of one or two songs. Overall, High School Musical 2 was a fun movie to watch and is perhaps the most exciting, and energetic Made-for-TV movies I've ever seen. |
