The original was not a good movie. It's relevant for nostalgia purposes only. This one doesn't even have that. Move on. Nothing to see here.

he didn't stay alive

I think that it is defferent from saturday night fever, but the essence of it is there, and Jhon’s performance is excellent

You really have to take this movie as a standalone film, not really a sequel to Saturday Night Fever. In that, it is quite enjoyable. It has the upbeat 80s kind of feel bolstered by being directed by Sylvester Stallone hot off his Rocky III success. The Broadway show “Satan‘s Alley“ depicted in the film is much more like a Las Vegas spectacle, than anything that would play on Broadway (with maybe the exception of “Cats”). It’s a lot of fun to watch, however. The love story between John Travolta and Finola Hughes is a bit overdone, but does serve to teach Tony Manero a bit about using people, leading to his appreciating Jackie (Cynthia Rhodes) more, and realizing he has something special with her. All in all it is a fun 80’s “hero overcomes the odds” romp in the style of “Footloose” or “Dirty Dancing” with enough Stallone inspired spectacle to provide great visuals and energy.

I really liked it, Great music and dancing

This film is grossly underrated. This is a great 80's time-capsule and a very watchable guilty pleasure. The new 4k transfer is fantastic.

The only thing more difficult than putting on a Broadway show, is making a movie about the process of a Broadway show. The athleticism from all of the dancers is beyond incredible, no body doubles here! Soundtrack is top notch.

It’s my guilty pleasure ❤️

For the real negative critics,.....Don't forget that this was a huge box office hit for a reason. The dancing, emotional egos and tension of what it's probably, exactly really like to train for and produce one of these broadway type of musicals. I enjoyed this film and the great cast in it. The music was good and mainly frank stallone and the band deliveres a couple memorable awesome hit songs also. It's more than a cult classic because it dives into these emotional characters and their hardcore desire to be accepted and great at their very hard work and talent. Success or fail, they give it their all.

it was a amazing piece of art

The critics always take a rigid approach to what they believe a movie should be rather than just enjoying what it is. I loved this movie as a young man and I can still watch it over and over. It's a good story that entertains. I'm sure it can be said it may have a couple of flaws ( every movie does ) though it moves fast, has a great cast; the dynamic is solid and delivers what it was trying to. The soundtrack is great, the love story and pursuit are both redeemed during the movie…the man may not have reached full maturity or his destiny though thanks to his lover ( Cynthia Rhodes )…he's on the right path. It's an entertaining watch; give it a chance and watch it with an open mind.

A Brooklyn feel good kind of thing. Only true Brooklynites will get it. A classic of its own kind.

Staying Alive is a disappointing film. It is about Tony Manero who works as a serious dance teacher in New York City. John Travolta and Cynthia Rhodes give horrible performances. The script is badly written. Sylvester Stallone did a horrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture.

This was one of my top five favourite movies when I was a child. This is a classic chick flick. If you love dancing, New York in the fall, romance, amazing eighties music (BeeGees, Frank Stallone, etc), and a young, fit John Travolta, you will LOVE this movie. I wasn't a fan of Saturday night fever, this movie is a totally different vibe. I love it so much, such a classic!

I generally like John Travolta, but this one was just subpar for him. I don't understand why he would be in a movie that had just a bad storyline.

The worst 01 hour: and 36 minutes ever starring John Travolta!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I actually loved it. It was funny and the dancing was great.

Of all the things that Stallone could have done with Travolta's Tony he made him Rocky the dancer. The Directors Guild should have removed Stallone for this movie.

Ok followup better than its reputation.

A ridiculous follow-up, that completely fails to understand what made the first film good, piling one slick dance sequence after another. It's a preposterous dance film that isn't quite as campy as it needs to be to gain cult status like something like Showgirls. But if you want to watch a greased up, half naked Travolta flex and writhe around for a while, this is the picture for you.
