after a truly fun and disney magical hsm and the sequel leave the fan flat on the floor from disappointment . i find the entire first half of the film unfocused and boring and center nearly entirely on ashley tisdale . we know that disney like ashley and promote her big time and but there be other talented actor and actress that be underutilized and basically do not add a thing to the film because they be never part of a storyline . they be treat solely a eye candy and background dancer . the original hsm start to imply that there might be develop other couple that i have hop would continue in this film . i want to see chad and taylor and as well a jason and kelsi and but instead we get a nearly unrecognizable sharpay shove down our throat . sharpay in hsm be crafty and self center and self love and but in this sequel and they turn her into a miniature paris hilton . why the drastic character personality change . she be downright annoy and far from entertain to watch . i enjoy her in the original hsm and but really yawn at her in this one . while i do not like they way they try to transform troy into a first class jerk and i do enjoy watch zac show u a much deep range of act skill . i enjoy his angst number in black . he truly do remind me of ren in footloose and i can see him use that footage to try and land work for that develop remake . zac be too talented to keep playing troy . he have clearly move on in both talent and skill . it be clear he try to salvage what he could of this poor storyline and but even his talent wasn not enough to save such a bad script . it be nice to have his voice in this sequel and the only truly memorable number in the film be the one he and vanessa sing ( music in me ) and although i do like his angst number performance as well . vanessa be barely in the film . same with lucas and chad and monique . these be talented actor that barely have any screen time or story . what a shame to waste such talent . shame on the producer and director . unfortunately the script in this sequel really destroy the magic of hsm and be a suffer to sit through . the choreography be promise to be step up a lot and but there really wasn not much in the film beyond the first ten minute and last five minute . so where be this step up choreography . i keep look for it and but it do not ever show it face . the entire rest of the film be primarily a really predictable and boring story that feature a character that be completely out of character ( sharpay ) . what a shame to have tank so bad after such an enjoyable original film .
