Anak ng macho dancer

I watched the original Macho Dancer a year or so ago, and I was so impressed I gave it 7 stars. The original was a film done in the 1980s with, what I would imagine, limited resources. Therefore, I was completely disappointed to see the follow-up so poorly done 30 years later in an era where we have access to improved video-making technology. I have seen films made by iPhone with Hollywood picture quality. But the major faults go beyond cinematography and fall squarely in the laps of the scriptwriter and director.

What I watched was a film without a clear direction and a pace that felt very rushed. The fact that the writer sets this film during the Covid-19 Pandemic, but failed to reflect the reality of the Covid-19 measures, tells us that this film was not fully thought-out.

I will not blame the actors because I did not get the impression that they were incapable of delivering, but poor directing brings out poor acting. I give this film 3 stars simply because the macho dancers were well-picked. Unfortunately, the producers did not know how to make good use of them because, after 30 years, you'd expect some improvements with their choreography.
