By turning Tony’s story into an ‘80s fairy tale, the movie not only fails on its own merits but degrades its predecessor by association.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 11, 2024

Disco inferno, indeed.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Sep 9, 2023

Directed by Sylvester Stallone (who even has a cringeworthy cameo), you can spot the crumbs of a Rocky movie that just don't belong.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 21, 2022

Staying Alive isn't just a disappointment -- it's a disgrace.

| Oct 8, 2021

The production as a whole is too disjointed, repetitive and flat to really hang together.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Oct 5, 2020

The movie lacks life. [Full Review in Spanish]

As always Travolta is urban gorgeous and very charming. The rest of the film is neither.

| Jul 24, 2014

[Sylvester Stallone] pours lots of energy but little intelligence into scads of short, sweaty scenes more suited to the rhythms of cable-온라인카지노추천 ''rock video'' than to the wide screen.

| Jul 24, 2014

It is a movie caught in a time warp: a slick M온라인카지노추천 video that celebrates Eisenhower-era morality. For the Staying Alive audience, the problem is staying awake.

| Jul 24, 2014

Not quite a career low for John Travolta -- Two of a Kind was still to come -- but one he nevertheless would probably love to forget.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 24, 2014

Tracking Travolta's adventures as he gets to perform on Broadway and falls in and out of love, director Stallone is in his mindless mode when it comes to characterization.

| Feb 25, 2009

It all amounts to an embarrassing show of unrestrained, Hollywood-style egomania.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Feb 25, 2009

The bottom line is that Staying Alive is nowhere as good as its 1977 predecessor, Saturday Night Fever.

| Oct 24, 2008

If not quite one of the worst sequels ever made, it's near the top of the list of all-time most disappointing sequels. Writer-director Stallone stupidly attempts to turn Tony Manero into a dancing Rocky.

All could be forgiven if it weren't for the soulless overall slickness.

A slick, commercial cinematic jukebox, a series of self-contained song-and-dance sequences that could be cut apart and played forever on M온라인카지노추천 -- which is probably what will happen.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Oct 23, 2004

Was this sequel really necessary? Nope.
