Footloose vs. Footloose

New version of Footloose - wtf? The old one is totally awesome so why make a new? Can't see why. But I went to see it anyway - just to play that fun game where you dis everything because it is all wrong and unworthy, like when you see a Harry Potter film and everthing's wrong and bad compared to the brilliant books.
Anyway, I thought it'd be fun to make a comparison of the two - not that there's any doubt about which is the awesomest, but to see just how rotten the new one is.

 Ren Mccormack

Kevin Bacon is hot and cool. He's got the nose! And the moves!

Kenny Wormald - hmm... All right, he's cool and not bad looking, though he's got that sort og High School Musical cheese-ball-look. 

Kevin beats Kenny due to his attitude, outfits and his dance moves. 

Angry Dance

The original angry dance kicks the new one's ass. In the 2011 version it's way too short and it lacks energy. I sucks so much I didn't want to post it here, so instead I give you Bret's (FOTC) version, which is quite good.

  Soundtrack

The soundtrack of the new Footloose is basicly the old one made bad by adding sounds and effects which in my opinion are better suited for Eurovision Song Contests.

Take Ren's first day at school; in the original film he arrives listening to Bang Your Head. In the new version they figured Black and Yellow was appropriate.
Luckily, they've used some of the old ones like Almost Paradise and of course Footloose. The lamest of the lamest is the new version of Holding Out For A Hero, watch this:

    Puh!

Ariel

What a skank! It's not that I particularly love the orginal Ariel, but she is definately a lot better than this new gross one. She's so bad! 

 

Dancing

They've got better dance moves in the old one. The final scene in both films is great and makes you want to dance!

The best scene in the new Footloose is when Ren teaches Willard to dance. This scene is splendid in the real Footloose, but also quite funny in the new one. Unfortunately I can't find this clip on the internet, so you'll get the original instead:

In conclusion Footloose the new sucks compared to the old one, but there are some good parts and it is not as terrible as I had expected.
