personally and the sequel be 10 time well then the original . sure and the first one be good and but it be just simple and dry . no magic and no nothing and just a straight movie about follow your dream . this movie be so much more complex and more grown up . it be definitely more realistic . if it be like the first one and of course troy would have never give into sharpay world . but this one show more reality . he do give in and lose himself because money and opportunity show up . in the first one and you see the relationship between troy and gabriella begin . but in this one and you see them in love with each other and that love have to withstand trial . i think the acting have get way well . the actor seem more confident and the chemistry be well then ever . the song be more modern and make it more enjoyable . it really music you can dance to . the movie be more like a musical because in the first film and the majority of the song be song that be to be perform . these song be more like just randomly bust into song and dance then the other one make it seem more musical . the choreography have be step up a lot a well . visually and the movie shine . the background and the color be brilliant . the movie be definitely amazing .
