  Just like one and two a fun time for my daughter. She loved it and was dancing in front of her seat during the show.

  My three life goals: 1. To read every book written by Stephen King. 2. To watch every episode of THE SIMPSONS ever made. 3. To get the HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL saga to stop growing on me like a mole on my tucchis. I might even need plastic surgery for that! First theatrically released… More
  My three life goals: 1. To read every book written by Stephen King. 2. To watch every episode of THE SIMPSONS ever made. 3. To get the HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL saga to stop growing on me like a mole on my tucchis. I might even need plastic surgery for that! First theatrically released musical in the ambitious Disney series is, once more, highly overrated. If the real Walt Disney (please stand up!) were still alive, and he actually approved this B.S., a) I would freak out at how unrealistic that scenario is (and so would so many others), and b) it would be a much, much better performance. It's depressing: the fact that America lusts over actors like Zac Efron (that whole name goes up on spell check), and then they'll do anything to see him in anything. Even a dumb kids' musical like this one that should have just remained a "Disney Channel Original Movie". (Or been scrapped altogether.) Pity.

  Actually a good movie, much better than the first 2. This movie was fun, some better music and a nice story. The acting has never been good in this movie, so their record stays the same there. For once, a High School Musical I can enjoy.

  I love all of the High School Musicals. Amazing! A must see!

  What is so endearing about the High School Musical trilogy is how it's message of defining yourself as who you want, having important, honest friendships and relationships and accepting others for who they are is something all kids should learn and it's portrayed here in an upbeat, fun and always gentle way. "High School Musical 3: Senior Year" is the best of the three due to the fact of the high production value, Broadway style dance numbers, and a cast that has matured into a group of nice young actors who are immensely talented. Obviously, this series, and the musical genre, is not for everyone, but for kids and those of us who love a good old fashioned musical, "High School Musical" is something to cherish.

  The concluding chapter in the popular tween-friendly series known as "High School Musical" is sure to entertain audiences outside the tween zone. It's offers catchy fizz-pumping songs, choreography that'll have you saying, "Wow, good choreography.", and good teen melodrama. High School Musical 3: Senior Year is the "Toy Story 3" of the series. Remember how Toy Story 3 made us ask the question, "What will happen to the toys in the future?" HSM 3 makes us woinder, "What will happen when these teens graduate?" That question will be answered while you are embraced in the music. The story may be lame to you but you'll actually enjoy it due to the music, songs, and dancing. High School Musical dosen't stand as one of the best trilogies in cinematic history but this conclusion is worth watching and may become one of your favorite trilogies after you see this final chapter. "I haven't played with Robo-Rob since third grade."

  this was horrible. i fell asleep while watching it. it was better then the first two but thats not saying anything. D

• Alice S

  
  Finally, I'm done. The same story with different songs - "different" is arguable. Sharpay and Ryan are much too cozy to be siblings. Vanessa Hudgens is a better ballroom dancer than singer. I can't believe she's playing Mimi in LA.

• Jeremy S

  
  This movie lacks a story line, any conflict whatsoever, character development or meaning. It also lacks a pulse, High School Musical 3 is a dead movie.

  No offense, but all the High School Musical series really not my favorite... The acting was standard, the story was too cliche.. The good thing that only happen in this movie is the song or you can called it soundtrack of this movie... But the soundtrack itself just getting worsen from the first movie til now hit the third movie... The music is weird, the lyrics too simple and the voice of Zac Efron, Vanessa Anne Hudgens, or the other cast didn't improve at all... Same as the story, just getting worsen... But for entertaining, it just okay... That's why I gave this movie 3 stars, not 2 or lower...

  Spectacular of six teens' final year of high school graduate and it's a lightweigh if likeable song-and-dance-along though daydreams, future schemes and cheese. At the ending was fantastic for audiencing a farewell to six cast of <i>High School Musical</i> series as a memory before the next series will come out this year with different new cast.

  First of all, please stop expecting another "Citizen Kane" and enjoy HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3 for what it is, a fantastic piece of entertainment! The third installment of Disney's most succesful franchise is definitely the best, as Kenny Ortega's growth as a director (and, of course, a bigger budget) helped turn a fun kiddie flick into an exciting, more mature musical. Of course, you can't get rid of all the cheesiness, but they certainly toned it down a bit for the cinematographic version. The songs aren't as good and catchy like the ones from the first 2, but combined with some amazing choreographies and beautiful set design, they're a joy to watch. Expect a lot of eye candy, ranging from awesome sets to the beautiful costume design. And don't forget the talented cast, especially Zac Efron, Ashley Tisdale and Lucas Grabeel (still the best voice). Vanessa Hudgens is kinda annoying, but she is very beautiful, so I don't completely hate her. Most of all, this movie is PURE FUN. As soon as it ended, I wanted to see it again.

  I gave this movie a shot, i was just curious on how a TV movie series turned to the big screen would turn out and it really had a dull plot and random musical outbreaks unlike other musical films. This is a major skip it in my opinon.

  For what it is HSM3 is, it's good. What was most impressive about it to me was how Disney managed to round up such talented kids. Love or hate Zac Efron he is a really talented preformer. Because the film is rated G and intended for very young viewers it takes no chances and so there really isn't a whole lot to admire. But one must know this going into it. For a film that takes all the sex, drugs, and foul language out of highschool and replaces it with singing and dancing it could have been a whole lot worse and while it skips along following all the highschool movie conventions it never really loses it's harmless charms. It's truley light entertainment, but it's honest and true to itself and it's audience. The highschool element was derivative, but like I said the film is really careful not to take any chances. Don't get me wrong, it has dramatic conflict, just sweet and frothy dramatic conflict. Once you get passed the fact that it's highschool with rainbows and lollypops it's really just a plethora of dance numbers. Although there were really only two songs; slow and fast, the choreography was good and all the numbers were pretty fun. Some were better than others. It's more about dancing and production because the songs all seemed a bit thrown together. Kids won't notice that though. The end was basically a compilation of all the previous songs as opposed to anything show stopping. Overall, highschool musical is fun. It's not anything great, but it works. Competently written, competently directed, and competently acted, Efron and Hudgeons have chemistry. It's no Hairspray or Dreamgirls, but it's dances along smoothly.

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

• Bradley J

  
  A gathering of infectious dancing, and singing. Overall Rating:76

• Bryce I

  
  This is the worst out of the three. The songs aren't catchy anymore, and half of the storyline isn't much different from the first.
