i've always been a fan of the original but it always seemed like it lacked a little edge. hopefully this will have that. from what i've seen in the trailer it looks like it's gonna be awesome

Not quite at the same level as Fame 1 but a very good movie none the less.

There wasn't really a plot to the movie, and there were too many characters. Therefore, the people watching really didn't get to explore them in depth. Infact, some of them only had their names mentioned once in the whole thing.
