YOU GOT SERVED: a violently stupid movie

ok, i realize this movie hasn't yet been released, and i know i am probably going to get flak from everyone who wants to 'give it a chance'
and those unnamed few who have been waiting for a movie on such a dynamic topic as urban breakdancing, but i have to criticize this movie.

WHAT IS THE PREMISE OF THE MOVIE?
Something about dancing? what is the point of making a movie about dancing? All the trailer shows us is stupid scenes from what looks like a boxing ring, but, surprise, theres no body boxing, just people dancing in some sort of 'underground' dance competition.

The official synopsis, from sony pictures, beckons you to 'enter the world of the street dancer' and explains that you 'can find them on street corners, in playgrounds, or in dark, sweaty dance halls. Crowds gather to cheer and scream locked in battle with other formidable crews...[dancing to the sound] of urban music. This is where our story begins.'

Sorry, but none of that makes any sense at all. They may have well just said, 'come view this movie because we want your money.' In addition, as is beginning to become a nauseating norm for new 'Xtreme' movies, it has a fantastically stupid slogan: 'If you want respect, you've got to Take it.' This sounds like something out of a gay porno. please, for the sake of not corrupting american society any more, stop making these shitty, no-talent movies

dude of course the movie will suck.....but have you ever actually seen a sick ass professional breakdancer? the movie is meant to highlight breaking, not win oscars.....i'm going to see it simply because the worlds best breakers can do shit with their bodies that you could never imagine, and if you saw them live in action, you would probably shit yourself (imagine never seeing a freestyle skier before in your life and then watching a pro competition run or video)

^Thats why you go buy break videos. That way you don't have to put up with all the rest of the content to which I can't even put into words.

This movie will suck for three reasons.

Reason #1. Taking the underground to the mainstream doesn't work. Whenever a big time film company puts out a movie like this they totally fuck up what the actual underground scene of whatever they are depicting is like. The reason? First off, it's not as exciting as you may think to the majority of the public. Want an example? Look at the previews for 'You Got Served'. Do you think most breaking contests happen in a place like the one in the preview? Of course they don't. I'm sure there are some venues for it that are as cool or cooler than that but the rent or purchase price for a place like that is extraordinary, and money is one thing that isn't often plentiful for an 'underground' anything. Sony is most likely gonna attempt to mainstreamize the movie and fuck it up by making it seem more grand than it actually is. There is no arguement that actual break dancing is insanely awesome, but from the point of view sony portrays it from it will look cheesy and overdone.

Reason #2 Plot and Break Dancing don't mix. I don't wanna sit around and deal with a boring unoriginal plot dammit, I want break dancing. Of course because it's a big time movie you can be assured that there will be a plot and it will suck.

Reason #3 No one likes annoying bad acting. Just from the previews I can tell that the acting is gonna be annoyingly bad. They had a choice between actors of dancers and of course they picked the dancers cause the movie would suck a lot more if no one could dance. And of course the dancers they picked are not true hardcore underground break dancers but merely good dancers in general.


I hope that they prove me wrong and this movie isn't a disgrace to breakdancers everywhere.

first off...there was no break dancing in the movie. it was crappy n sync style backup dancing. break dancing is far cooler than that shit. and the actors were the worst actors that i had ever seen. whoever wrote that script should be shot over and over again. it was the worst movie i have ever seen. ever.

...Now I just can't shut you up, shut you up
So now I have to chop you up, chop you up
And I'll just wait till I get caught...

you make good points.....and west i've seen tons of break videos, but i totally agree with all of you - i just figured that they gave a bunch of sick breakers a lot of dollars so that it would be an exhibition of awesome breaking, but i someone said that it's just nsync moves and shit and if that's the case then fuck that shit

Look, the basic point of the movie, really, is to promote illiteracy. If you're dumb, and you think it's cool to be dumb, this is the movie for you! Also, white, asian, latin and phillipino people who like to pretend they're black will enjoy this movie, as they've given up on the concept of improving onesself in favour of sounding like morons.

But don't trash on the wiggers, what they lack in wit, they makeup for in racial obscurity. Fairly soon, gangstas will be so ashamed of their propogated image, they'll abandon it, and we can leave all this nonsense behind us. That is, if they DO have shame...

Ok seriously, the very fact that this movie exists is a burden on my soul, the weight of which exceeds ten Britney Spears classic rock covers. It's not the dancing, that takes skill. It's the subculture, composed largely of socially useless, painful-to-listen-to morons who think they're the better for a total lack of any possible redeeming characteristic. Why can't popular culture just realize that it's not cool to be mediocre? YOU DON'T SOUND COOL TALKING LIKE A RAPPER. YOIU ARE NOT A RAPPER. SHUT THE FUCK, UP YOU BRAINLESS IDIOTS.

I'm sorry if I'm a bit judgemental, but at least the word ''mental'' can be used in conjunction with me...

Anyways, what I'm really trying to say is, I'm looking forward to seeing this movie with my niggaz.

I will never see this movie. Ever. It looks like the most pathetic excuse for a movie. The B2K kids are 'singers' not actors. The first thing they did they sucked at, so I guess another try at something else they will be even worse. I'd rather stare at a wall for an hour and a half then watch it.

all you need to know about this movie is that b2k is in it. first of all, they are gay. second of all, the only reason a studio would ever put them in a movie is to sell it to all of their 13 year old girl fans, so it will definitely suck.

JD.....99% of what you usually say is intelligent and informed, but i know quite a few breakers, and none of the white ones are wiggers and none of the black/mexican/asian/arabian (yes i really know at least one person from each) ones are ''thuggish'' or however you want to state it. they are ALL chill kids and not ''gangsta'' in the slightest bit. but anyway sorry for going off.

and by the way, i FUCKING hate wiggers probably more than anyone.....did they talk like that in elementary school? fuck no.....they had to actually train themselves to form their speech patterns like that. every wigger in the world has at one time or another made the conscious decision to try and talk/act like someone they are not. the funny thing is most of them are humongous pussies who would urinate themselves at the very site of someone who was actually in a gang

I didn't mean the breakers were wiggers or anything, though I'm sure a couple are, because I've met both kinds... but the MOVIE sure as shit is. My God those trailers hurt my brain.

premise? karate kid meets that retarded cheerleading movie with kirsten dunst.

jd i'm suprised at you on this one. i would think that your objective tendencies would come through on this one. breakers are a legitmate subspecies of urban culture,nalthough chronically annoying suburbanites seem to be zestfully taking it over. your being a little ethnocentric.

^I'm against any subsection of society that values ignorance, which is what this movie seems to be directed at. I don't care about people who break dance (i said earlier, i don't have anything against them, it takes skill). It's the moronic people that seem to be associated with it in this movie that piss me off. I agree with strode... wiggas are useless idiots.

really, i can already see the hundreds of wiggers and wannabe gangsters of my school flocking to see this movie...
what they should do is make a trailer for a movie as bad as this one, then once people pay for their ticket they get kicked in the balls, becuse that's what they deserve

i live in a upscale town about 20 miles outside boston and there is an incredible amount of wiggers in my school and the mall is even worse. Their starting to show up at the hill. I've also noticed that wiggers are taking their wiggerism to a new level and acutally getting wigger tattoos.

Oh god... I had to dig deep into the archives for this one. for those who don't remember Bring it On...Not surprisingly, this film starts off with a cheer, which was so heinous and annoying that I seriously considered ripping my own eyes out, eating them, and jamming popcorn into my ears with the end of my Coke straw until my brain was soaked with Canola oil.

Kirsten Dunst, who plays Torrance, the new captain of the Toros' cheerleading squad, looks like one of those wooden puppets whose joints are connected by metal rods. When she comes bounding out kicking her legs in the air, I became frightened that a limb would just haphazardly fly off into the ether. Few things will bring an acting career to a screeching halt faster than having one of your limbs leave your body and impale a Teamster.

This movie is something of a reality check for white girls everywhere. After Torrance becomes the captain of the squad and befriends a new cheerleader named Missy (Eliza Dushku), she discovers that the former captain had led the Toros to their fifth cheerleading national title by stealing cheers from the black girls at the inner-city high school. Torrance goes to the school and watches the Clovers and their captain, Isis (Gabrielle Union), and realizes that the white suburban girls with their Richard Simmons rhythm and lawn-bowling athleticism have a snowball's chance in hell of beating the black girls at the cheerleading thing. Unfortunately, it takes the movie another hour or so to lumber toward the inevitable conclusion of a cheerleading showdown.
Fortunately, I don't have to lumber, so I'm submitting my best cheer:
This movie fucking sucks.
