Footloose 2011 - Not the worst movie made

[z3zep]

I thought the first one blew monkey chunks back in the 80's.....there is no chance in hell that i would ever sit down and watch it.......

I with you! No way would I go see this remake.

Kevin Bacon is one of the worst dancers to ever hit the silver screen...the dude had ZERO rhythm...I'm willing to bet this new actor dances way better...lol.

Now John Travolta and Patrick Swayze on the other hand...

I will give you Travolta but Swayze is freakin horrible especially that Dirty Dancing garbage LOL!

[Nostalgiabuff]

I did not like the original and have zero interest in the remake. for the record I also hated Dirty Dancing so forget about that remake too

[The Toyroom]

The original is an 80's guilty-pleasure classic...I have no interest in the remake...

I didn't Know your Name was Axe there Hector ..., You should be the 1 reading my post again , I commented on Absolutely Nothing you wrote there Bro.

But I AM Axe...

Swayzee was a real athlete and dancer...and even though I didn't like Dirty Dancing either...he was a much smoother and talented dancer than horrid Kevin "can't dance" Bacon...and don't get me wrong, I love Kevin Bacon...just not as a dancer...

Hmmmm....

I dunno. This is one of them movies that gets remade every few years, usually under a different name. The earliest version I remember is "Don't Knock the Rock."

I think how you feel about any given version is based on how you feel about the music used in that version, and how close you were to 14 when you saw any given version.

BTW...for the more acrobatic complex steps...Bacon had a double doing the moves...

I heard this remake had almost word-for-word some of the same scenes as the original and that overall it is not very different. The original Footloose is a Cult Classic - why anyone would mess with it is beyond me if in fact you aren't going to completely re-purpose it.

I always thought Kevin Bacon had a nose like a pig with his nostrils flaring out. I didn't understand then, and don't understand now, why he was ever used in a dance film. Most of what was done anyway was done by a stunt double. It felt like a Dirty Dancing wannabe. Honestly I think the movie was just okay, but got it's greatest boost from Kenny Loggins, who was on a wave of soundtrack hits, starting with Top Gun.

LOL a real athlete pllleaaaasssss!!!

Swayze pursued multiple artistic and athletic skills, such as ice skating, classical ballet, and acting in school plays. He played football for his high school and was hoping to receive a football scholarship for college until a knee injury ended his career. He studied gymnastics at nearby San Jacinto College for two years.

So yes...he was an athlete...at the very least...compared to Bacon.

Now, if you are going to dismiss on the man just because...I don't know what else to say on the matter...
