Audience Reviews for High School Musical 3: Senior Year

  • Dec 02, 2011
    High School Musical 3 is much better than the first two films, mainly because of better songs and an interesting story. The cast still bothers me and didn't really do anything new here. The script has some good fun with its characters and gives them a good send off. I am not a High School Musical fan, but this final installment improved upon the first films and was actually a decent musical.

    There is no plot!!!!!!!!!!!!! Songs have bad quality, random unnecessary scenes, ridiculous as usual. Warning: Your eyes may burn

    The performances are flat, the story (if any) is repetitive and the lead characters are perpetually annoying.

    The best of the series but it's just too long. Some of the songs and dancing were actually pretty great. I was actually laughing a lot while watching this movie, not because of the comedy but because of some of the scenes are just so lame and ridiculous, esp. when Zac Efron started prancing like a little bitch, man, it was very entertaining.
