The first HSM was pretty interesting for kids...but the second one killed the whole franchise in my opinion. If I watch the third it'll be because someone put it illegally on the internet.

I won't say I hate it but I certainly don't like it either. I'm not into any movie where people burst into song at random though =l

Last time I checked people were saying that HSM4 would be about the younger students who were introduced in HSM3. Which is still stupid, since they were all really boring, but hey.

I am seventeen and love the HSM franchise. Sure, it's unrealistic, stupid, and corny -- but that's why it's so darn fun. The writers obviously either had no idea or didn't care how school/musicals/baseball/scholarships/whatever actually worked and that makes it a lot of fun to laugh and facepalm at all of the inaccuracies. And a lot of the unrealistic romance and random song and dance (and musicals have been doing this since time began, so please don't credit Disney for coming up with it) are entertaining because they'd never happen in real life; they're there not for realism but to make the audience smile and feel like the world is perfect for a little while.

Then there's the fandom, which is kind of epic in that there's a ton of teen and adult fans who love to make fun of HSM, then turn around and write fanfiction that is actually good. Which is cool by my book.

And besides that, it gets kids into musicals. And that will never be a bad thing.

Please inform me, oh people that know this stuff:

Wasn't HSM supposed to be replaced by a punk-rock-thing version called "Rock Camp"? That's what we were led to believe.

Also... Why in these movies every pretty and talentous teen gather in the same place? It's not normal or realistic... Maybe they were all cloned and live in a basement in Hollywood?

"Camp Rock" was another movie thing that Disney did, more closely related to the Jonas Brothers, and I think the plot was something along the lines of going to a camp full of talentless people, and letting "Disney magic" do its work. Bam! Decent singers.

I have to say though, I think Ashley Tisdale would hold my attention more if she did less singing and more stripping.

To me, having girls obsess over this stuff and pop stars like the Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyruz, etc is better than them dyeing their hair black and obsessing over bands like chiodos all while calling eachother "dude."

More power to them for making insane amounts of money off of stupid shit and and preventing little girls from becoming scene girls (or at least slowing down the process).

Which reminds me, today, I found out one of my close friends owns the DVDs of High School Musical 1 and 2, and she's probably going to buy the third one as well. *facepalm* I died a little inside.

I have to admit that I liked the first movie when it came out, but i watched it on disney channel and plan on never ever to spend any money to watch the third movie. I watched the second movie with my cousins that has it on DVD. (they're 11 and 13, let them enjoy it while they can) And I didn't like it as much as the first one, it was at the best just an okay to me. The third movie is out in cinemas and I'm not gonna watch it. I've had it with Disney's stupid follow - up movies.

What's the difference between the two, aside from the song lyrics (kind of), the setting, and the actors?

Honestly, I loved HSM3. Maybe because i'm a senior in highschool, I dunno. I've seen it twice so far...and i'm going with a friend on friday for the third time.

I've really enjoyed following the movies throughout my highschool career (although the second movie sucked). The first one came out when I was a sophomore and the movie characters were sophomores. The second when I was a junior. And now the third as i'm a senior. I'll be happy if they make a fourth one for the first year of college, because i'll be in college by then also so i'll still be able to relate to it.

I have an honest question then: can you relate to the characters? Because, honestly, I graduated last year, and HSM makes me want to vomit all over my own high school.

I definately wouldn't say that I enjoy High School Musical, however I wouldn't necessarily say I would go out of my way to avoid hearing/seeing it.

LOL I used to looove it, I actually brought the craze to my house and made my sisters watch it.

When the second one came around, I only watched it because there were two choices: HSM2, or a marathon of crappily-dubbed Naruto.

I didn't want to see HSM3, but my mom made me go. BUT HSM4???? Hell to the no! I hate most Disney stuff like that Hannah Montana/Jonas Brothers/Camp Rock bullshit.

I saw the first one, and I knew right away that its target audience was going to be people who actually found the Disney channel enjoyable and funny. Which I, being a person above the mentally-unstable level, do not.

No offence to anyone who likes the HSM out there; its just the facts.
