KH: This is a very Disney thing, the orphan protagonist. In Step Up: Revolution, the female lead, Emily, is raised by a single father (against whom she rebels), while Sean's parentage is unclear, but he's shown living with his adult sister.
Step Up: 3D's Luke is an orphan whose parents left him with the famous dance loft/sanctuary he must fight to preserve, while Natalie rebels against unseen, distant upper-class parents. Step Up's Tyler Gage is an orphan who lives with a foster family, as is Step Up 2 the Streets' Andie West. I still think, though, that Tatum is one of the most enigmatic dancers in the series.

I do think that the "battling crew" structure (absent from the first movie as well as the fourth) is the best, most exciting format for the movies, rather than the "audition" format of this one. Because at the time, it felt like the dancing in the first was so great, and there was so much of it. KH: Yeah, I mean, I think it's hard to judge this accurately now.
But the dancing is obviously impressive! Just maybe not as memorable? Sure, there are training montages - and at least one killer (if illogical, but who cares) choreographed club scene - but it's much more dedicated to actual plot development, the characters, and their relationships.ĪR: I feel like this is most apparent when you see them in a row, because you're so bombarded with these amazing and over-the-top numbers in the sequels that the first movie ends up seeming quaint. The movie that began this illustrious franchise devotes, by far, the least amount of screen time to actual dance numbers.
