Brink!

I loved this movie. I thought it was fascinating and very entertaining. This is, for I do love skating and this movie is all about skating competitions, besides cheesy friendship problems and stories. It is worth watching if you give it a try. OK, so I have to write a shorter summary and a longer Comment, you know what I am going to do? I am going to post my summary in here, so here it goes: This movie is about a story of a conflict between two groups of skaters and all the problems between them. The main characters are: Brink, Jordi, Val, Gabriella and Ben. The first and last two are part of the group who call themselves the "soul skaters" and Val, and 3 other guys skate because they are paid for it. Both groups hate each other, but about halfway through the movie Brink finds out his family has economical problems and decides to join Val's group (upon request, for one of the members was hurt and couldn't skate for a competition), which is called the X Bladz. Then he fights with his friends and the resolution begins (yey!) Now, to know the ending, you can watch the movie in Disney Channel, I promise you, it is worth watching. Thanx for reading!

There are some pretty crummy Disney Channel Original Movies out there. I mean Can of Worms was horrible and same with The Thirteenth Year. Both lacked twists in the plot and were just plain "cheesy." Brink on the other hand has more !. First of all, the "extreme sports" idea was great. That's what kids love these days so that's what probably "hooked" them to their televison sets. The music was decent, featuring some recent punk rock bands. Well at least better than The Thirteenth Year's ending credit music! Yuck! Well anyways, Brink delivers a fresh, funny, and realistic situation in which four teens experience a "Rollerblading Odyssey." This movie has got it all: Friendship, betrayal, rivalry, hate, revenge etc. It has all the qualities of becoming an Academy Award winning epic! Um...ok, maybe not. But it is still a whole lot of fun to watch.

Any movie with exclamation point in the title should be avoided. This is no exception. Disney's problem is that their casting is superficially based on appearances. They get people that they think will draw in a crowd or people that they think look right for the part rather than people that can do what actually needs to be done. In 'Double Teamed' they hired the two girls who because they were tall and blonde, even though they couldn't play basketball.

In this movie, none of the actors can really rollerblade and it's terribly obvious. All of the shots involving someone doing a trick of any kind, or skating down a hill are stunt doubles. Disney doesn't even try to hide it anymore.

None of the kids can really act too well. The movie is completely cheesy right down the way Christina Vadal's character will speak English and then add an "estsupido" in there just to show is that she's from Peru. It's a family movie, but whatever happened to family movies that actually had some depth and educational value?

this film combines action, great characters, a superior plot, suspense and most of all--sports. extreme sports. brink pushes the limits of extreme sports movies with awesome stunts combined with spot on excellent acting. this movie did it all. not only did Sid from Toy Story deliver one of the best performances of his life, but he reunited with sam horrigan and rekindled the acting chemistry they had in the hit "escape to witch mountain." this movie captures the wonder of extreme in-line skating with a way that no other movies has. it also emphasizes the importance of good friends and the need to have honest relationships. "you are defined by the company you keep, and how well you keep it." --ralph brinker. this movie will not disappoint...unless of course you wanted to get it on DVD. it doesn't exist. Disney is cheating the world out of a spectular film directed by film legend greg beeman.

"Andy Brinker" played by Erik von Detten loves skating and is one of the best skaters in the movie and him and his friends enjoy skating for fun only. Where they call themselves "Soul Skaters" and despises people who skate for money like "Val" who is the adversary of Brink and his friends played by Sam Horrigan who skates for a company called "Team X Blades" where he gets paid to sponsor. But when Brink finds out that his dad has lost his job he decides to try out for Team X Blades so he can help out the family. But this leaves Brink with several problems. His dad does not want him skating after he got suspended for school for it. And Brink and his friends has always hated Val and his team of X Blades.

This is by far the best movie that Disney Channel has made. It's a movie that older audiences can enjoy. The movie never gets too corny like other shows on the Disney channel. The cast is great. The acting is good. Sam Horrigan(Val) does a great job acting evil which makes the movie not corny. The directing is amazing for a Disney T.V. movie. Great camera and music use. We all know Disney likes to have happy endings and yeah this one happens to have one too but it has a pretty cool intense ending. This is a movie I don't mind watching again.

Overall Rating: 7/10
