I've never thought about it like that. High School Musical has always been stupid and childish to me. But now...I find it mildly frightening that it has grown to this level of obsession....
Seriously, Everyone here is saying how much they hate it. I loved it, mostly cause it was so cheesy. some people say how they have no talent, but I think Ashley has talent (Duh, read my username)
What are they gonna call HSM4? College Musical? They already graduated, its done!
Anyway i think that people like HSM because it brings people together, its a conversation starter. Like, i was in a game store with my friend and th conversation was lacking and i saw a HSM 3 DDR and well, that brought up the conversation. You can either bitch about how much you hate it or squeal about how much you love it.
Its ridiculous because their making the HSM 4 and it wont have Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley tisdale, or Corbin Bleu. It's just gonna be, weird. I don't think many people are gonna watch that.
I was never a fan of the High School Musical movie, but when I saw the first one, I thought it was cute. I have a soft spot for Disney movies. But then there was a two and now a three and all the merchandise....They do not want to continue it because it has the potential to be continued, they want to make more money.
But I agree with, sinkxthexsun. The movie will end now since it is on the big screen and Camp Rock will become the next obsession. -rolls eyes- They need to stop with the musicals period.
ok so when i saw the first one i liked it. ok, it was extremely successful. great. so, of course they had to ruin it with a sequel. and hundreds of products, too. think about it. should there be little girl's panties and bedding made after a MOVIE?!? i walked into longs the other day and saw a high school musical GLUE STICK. are you kidding me???? i think kids are completely over this phenomenon. how many little girls have you met that are STILL obsessive over HSM? not that many in my case. i liked the first movie, the second one was okay, and i will see the third, but my guess is that it won't be as good as any of them and we will see HSM 1, 2, and 3 products for the next 2-3 years.
all i can say is they will stop with HSM 3. I mean can they really make a HSM 4 after they graduate. it would be college musical.
and no one would like that.
so HSM series will stop soon enough. and Camp Rock will take over. the end.
When I saw it, it looked kind of like a bad modern imitation of Grease.
Meet during a holiday, end up in the same school, can't like each other because their in different cliques, end up both changing?
All happened in Grease, which is a waaaay better movie with better actors.
I personally don't really care for it.
Also, the fact that little girls might have Zac Effrons face on their butt kinda disturbs me.
I thought the first one was okay. definately not the best movie ever, but ookay, and the second was kinda bland.
I don't even like the music!
But hey. If you really want to like it, I guess that's your choice!
I liked the first movie, maybe the first two times I watched it. After that I was just like, "meh." I never had any desire to watch the second or third.
It's the media, it's business. They had a hit and god knows they're going to milk the hell out of it until not one more cent can possibly be made from the HSM franchise. I agree, it is annoying, but there's not much anyone can do.
THey hadnt gone to far if you think about it.
Its High school drama!
So think about it, all the crap wont end intill THERE OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL.
So thats why theres a third movie. There graduating from High school, and everything that happens in between is being shown. Once this movie is done, there movies are done. Because they just needed to end them right, cause they still had high school left and they needed to end it right.
Yes, I do think that it has gone too far. The only reason why the 3rd movie is in theatres is because they know they can make money off it. And that goes for all the HSM merchandise too. I mean, come on. HSM underwear?!!!!!
they already have a plot for high school musical 4.
i think the only original character that's coming back is troy (supposively, it's still on the works)
but it's basically a spin-off.
having nothing to do with the real high school musical, just that it's in the same high school.
i am a fan of high school musical and high school musical 2
and i cant wait for high school musical 3, honestly.
but when i read about the fourth one, now that IS taking it too far.
also, it's partly parents' fault that kids are so obsessed with HSM, i mean a parent is the one that buys all the merchandise and DVD's. the parent has the power.
by giving the kid everything he/she asks, not only are they making kids brats, but disney driven machines.
OMG THANK YOU!!! finally someone wrote an article on this BIG issue!!! the first one was ok, he second one was retarded. a 3rd one? can you rllly use wat material you got left to make another?
all the merch causses big obsessions with kids. the whole pretty in pink, glam, sparkle...my neighbor is like this and it drives me up the wall.
okay. i agree with you like..110%!
Seriously. HSM has went way too far.
HSM was enough.
The sequel was pointless.
& the whole naked picture scandal?
I don't know exactly who the producers are trying to prove, but they should stop, before today's society gets worse.
I'm sure kids have seen 'Picture This' & all of Vanessa's recent music videos.
If she wants to be a 'role model' for kids maybe she should drop the sexy act for a little while.
before little kids who like HSM, & all of it's stars start to thing it's okay to do what they are doing. :)
personally, i find the whole High School Musical junk to be completely pointless and boring. like 2 years ago my choir teacher decided we were going to actually perform the movie!!! everyone else was esatic and i'm talking about people from 13-15 maybe even older. *shudders* it was REALLY creepy. anyway i think that Disney in general needs a wake up call! i mean come on! what is up with the Jonas Brothers? and don't even get me started with Hannah Montanna. and no i'm not one of those people that hates things when it gets popular......i'm just one of the people that has a sense of who they are.
yep that sums up how creeped out i am with the "Disney Cult"
