Nice effects though.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Okay. I wasn't into the whole Hannah craze but recently took custody of a daughter I didn't know I had and she begged me for this so I got it for her plus I'm a huge fan of 3D movies. This really worked in anaglyph (red-blue) glasses. The good thing is that Disney didn't seem interested in throwing things in your face which is good in anaglyph because it works. You really get the sense you are in the auditorium at the concert. The few gripes I have is that she really can't sing very well and I'm not a fan of throwing your daughter out there in the public's eye and claiming she's something she isn't. Billy Ray Cyrus has been an idol of mine for a long time since the 90's but I can't get behind the fact that he's disappeared from the music scene and decided to pimp his daughter out to Disney like this. That being said, Disney did put out an extremely good DVD for this release and I can't fault them for that. Really works well in anaglyph and happy that someone figured out how to use the format this well. Just wish they could do so in the future on upcoming titles like Bolt. Of course with all the 3D films coming out few companies are interested in presenting the home audience with 3D releases which is kind of sad. Overall this was a really good release and worthy of what 3D could be in home showings. Didn't care for her singing or songs for that matter but reminded me of what can be done with anaglyph.
Alright, I have to confess that I have no clue as to who Hannah Montana is, except that she is some "it"girl with some links to Disney, and was spoofed in Superhero Movie. She's a character played by Miley Cyus, daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus, who has to don a long and silky blonde wig to play her alter ego, and perhaps the only time I've seen Miley perform, was lending her non singing voice in Bolt.So I was precisely the proverbial fish out of water who knew zilch about the influence of Miley's reach, and know nothing too about the songs in both Montana and Cyrus' discography. But of course that didn't persuade me otherwise not to go for this concert movie to find out a lot more in under 90 minutes, and being a 3D movie provided extra reason to do so as well.Being what would be my first 3D concert movie, the depth of field here worked wonders in tricking your senses that you were there at the performance, and every hand that shot up to wave about, or a pop of a head because of enthusiastic fans jumping up and down, would have you either want to reach out and slap them, or like the kids in the audience, they too were lured to mimic such typical enjoyment as if they were there, swaying, dancing, running around, doing cartwheels even (!) just in front of the screen. These kids provided an additional D with their honest, devil-may-care participation.One too would expect just performance of a number after performance, and the only truly 3D-ish moments was the drummer who executed tossing his drumstick into the air, and with Miley herself throwing one right toward the camera, which made you cringe. Other than that, there's nothing unusual, and the documentary aspect of preparing for her concert turned out to be rather plain as well, beginning with designing the stage and the moves on a mock location, before wrapping everything after a full dress rehearsal for the actual performing location.Expect a number of talking heads from parents to co-performers peppering this concert movie, though there's absolutely nothing scandalous being said, more like plenty of pats on the back. Of the "two" performers here, personally I preferred Miley Cyrus' turn rather than Hannah Montana, which I felt was a little bit fake to begin with, and of the songs performed, I had preferred Cyrus' selection over Montana's. Then again, what would I know, since they're essentially the same person, and the age group this is targeted at, would have more discerning opinions.I'm just there to soak up the atmosphere, really. Give us U23D!
My generation, we had the Spice Girls, you know how they were so hated, they were too perky, too fake, too sexy, too advertised, had everything they wanted, the list goes on and on, but 12 year old girls(like I was at the time) absolutely adored them. We also had a movie called Spice World which again got a ton of hate, while the movie was terrible, it was the new generations "Gimme Shelter" or even "Yellow Submarine", now most would argue with me because the music was better back in the day, hey, guess what? Their parents thought the same thing, now we have Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour, the whole point of my ramble is, this is the new Spice World, little girls look up to Hannah Montana, as silly as it is, we have all been through the same thing generation after generation. We always get into the same argument, notice a pattern here? It's rather scary when you think it over.Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour takes you back stage with Miley Cyrus, her big preparation for her big concert. She talks with family and friends, talks a little bit about her character/alter ego Hannah Montana and what a journey it's been. We find out from her screaming fans why she is so wonderful, what people would go through to get those tickets for her concert. There is also a special performance from The Jonas Brothers, Miley goes on as Hannah and then later on performs as herself.Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour honestly is good for the 12 year old's, in my opinion, the concert was pretty cool to watch. I watched this with my 10 year old cousin and I just saw how her eyes lite up as she sang to the songs, so you know what? I think this was nice for the little one's, it's a Disney Movie, it's Hannah Montana, so I really don't know what people were expecting. It's also very short, so I wasn't tortured with it or anything, like I said, we go through this every generation, Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour is just the new concert/artist biography for the little girls who need an idol to look up too.5/10
I took my 8 yr old daughter to see this just yesterday. I wasn't happy about having to see it myself but I know my daughter had been asking to go so I did it for her. Miley is a likable girl and I hope she can stay the course of being a good role model for younger kids. I also seem to think that she has a lot riding on her as the lead for all this Hanna Montana promotion and she seems to take it well. Hopefully she wont go the way of Britney or Linsday. Kids need someone to look up to when they are young. But this movie/concert is not for sane adults. I closed my eyes through a lot of the Jonas Bros. and Miley concert footage. The only things that were vaguely entertaining were the behind-the-scenes footage. The concert itself is fairly mundane for most sane adults.
