Best Trailer For Battle of the Year
Best Review For Movie Battle of the Year
its dramatization of a U.S. dream team's journey to the international showcase is leaden with predictable character types and storytelling clichés, neither of which its well-executed but oddly infrequent dance sequences are able to overcome.Todd Gilchrist-The Wrap
The actual dancing scenes are occasionally electrifying, if far too sparse, but other than that and the welcome sight of co-star Chris Brown getting clocked in the face, the film barely gets off the ground, much less sticks the landing.
Keith Staskiewicz-Entertainment Weekly
A dead-in-the-soul cash grab of a movie set in the competitive world of B-boy dancing that thinks clichés, phony melodrama and product placement can substitute for real storytelling and actual characters.
James Rocchi-MSN Movies
Should satisfy the planet of b-boys and girls to whom it thoroughly preaches, while amusing anyone else who simply can't ignore the promise of an all-corn buffet.
William Goss-Film.com
The 3-D is a pain, and the excitable editing, slo-mo and speeded-up action frustrate attempts to watch the athleticism on display ...
Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail
The miracle of the new 3-D dance film "Battle of the Year" is how it can be so relentlessly boring while there is so much frenetic activity on screen.
Miriam Bale-New York Times
Battle of the Year would rather use crowd-shot cutaways to convince you of the dancers' prowess than focusing on the stage.
Liam Maguren-Flicks.co.nz
Like those it imitates, the film includes some energetic dance sequences and formulaic plotting that culminate in the obligatory final competition.
Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com
If director Werner Herzog can do it with 'Rescue Dawn' and 'Little Dieter Needs to Fly,' why can't director Benson Lee?
Linda Cook-KWQC-TV (Iowa)
In particular, as mentioned, the dance sequences are a mess, which is the kiss of death for a film in this genre.
Louis Black-Austin Chronicle
Battle of the Year is no Step Up 3D. But then, what is?
Witney Seibold-CraveOnline
Filled with fancy, if frenetic footwork but weighed down by all-too-familiar plot/characters/dialogue.
Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate
Athletic dancing and a patriotic theme make this movie better than it should be.
Jackie K. Cooper-jackiekcooper.com
Introduce female choreographer. Explore misogyny for 15 seconds. Become uncomfortable with ideas. Disappear female choreographer.
Dave White-Movies.com
After months of patient waiting, 2013 has finally produced a movie that's so bad it's good.
Tim Brayton-Antagony & Ecstasy
Everything else in this pedestrian dance drama is either absurdly corny or just plain moronic, though the feature does win points for being so earnest with its hopeless pile of clichés.
Brian Orndorf-Blu-ray.com
Eschewing shaded characterization and often basic sense, while establishing what should be the high-water mark for most crotch-grabbing in a single film in 2013.
Brent Simon-Screen International
There's not nearly enough quality material to make Battle of the Year recommendable to anyone other than the most hard-core of dance fanatics.
Sandy Schaefer-ScreenRant
The bar for urban-flavoured dance movies has already been set pretty low, but Battle Of The Year effortlessly leans back and limbos on below it.
Radheyan Simonpillai-NOW Toronto
Passable drama has great dancers but no originality.
S. Jhoanna Robledo-Common Sense Media
Battle of the Year clearly features lots of brilliant dancers, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy watching them move. But you wish there were more dancing here.
Bilge Ebiri-Vulture
The movie's inability to showcase its greatest asset, the grace and control of its dancers, is its most conspicuous failing.
Simon Abrams-RogerEbert.com
