The critical consensus

3D has been kind to teen dance flicks and Step Up 4’s better set-pieces take full advantage. Shame the movie’s other attempts to tango with the zeitgeist are rather more flat-footed.

**(*)(*)(*)Ellen E Jones, Total Film, 30/07/2012

As with most movies in this genre, the film comes alive whenever the talking stops and the dancing starts but even then director Scott Speer lets his performers down by coming over needlessly flashy in the editing room.

**(*)(*)(*)Rob Carnevale, The List, 04/08/2012

The moves are slick as ever and fans will still flock to see the stunts, but the protest veneer doesn’t stop it feeling as dumb as a brick.

**(*)(*)(*)Helen O'Hara, Empire Online, 06/08/2012

Preposterous, but the dancing is hot.

***(*)(*)Chris Tookey, Daily Mail, 10/08/2012

Nothing much here that you couldn't experience by watching 20 minutes of music television.

**(*)(*)(*)David Jenkins, Little White Lies, 09/08/2012

For a bunch of kids with no money, they seem to be able to afford souped-up automobiles and Broadway-standard costumes for these events. Never mind. It's all silly and good fun.

***(*)(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 09/08/2012

Great routines, silly story but it still delivers infectious, energetic 3-D escapism.

***(*)(*)Allan Hunter, Daily Express, 10/08/2012

YouTube is now the streetdancers' launch platform. If the acting were as expressive as the dancing this lot would be world-beaters.

*(*)(*)(*)(*)Anthony Quinn, The Independent, 10/08/2012

The choreographers are the heroes of this poorly scripted, energetically performed hip-hop musical.

Philip French, The Observer, 12/08/2012
