    not the worst, not the best

    Out of the five bring it on films that I have watched, I honestly have to say its the not the worst. That honour goes to bring it on again and. Worldwide showdown.it didn't have the charm like others but the choreography scenes were ok. I also enjoyed Holland Rodden's character of sky. In conclusion if they ever decide to milk the franchise further just stick with a mixture of different casts from the other films and it might make something good.

    worst bring it on movie of the series.

    i love the bring it on movies, well most of them. i thought the second one was bad, but this one takes the cake for the worst. the dialog was so corny and predictably it hurt to watch. i couldn't even understand half of what they were saying cause of their accents. Lina's accent made it even cornier. i thought they should have had something more about the boyfriend who was the sister of the rival cheer captain. but there was nothing really there with them. the cheer routines were more of obnoxious grinding then actual cheering.i do gymnastics so I'm used to tumbling, but theirs was awful. i hated this movie and wouldn't definitely not watch it again.

    Nothing special but Not bad

    I hate to say it but there is nothing special about this movie .It doesn't even compare to the first movie which was good .the story line is pretty predictable.i can't say i didn't enjoy it.it does compare to the second and third movie of this series.i did expected more from this movie and i am not satisfied

    But the main problem of this movie is underdevelopment of certain characters like 'SKY' but the acting wasn't bad

    If you are in to cheer leading or want to see a cheerleader movie with good cheer leading action go for it and you will not be disappointed.This not a great movie but it is watchable And i give it a 4.5/10 rating

    The Worst Movie I've Seen This Year

    I'm not a big fan of these so-called genre movies. They are pretty predictable...girl tries to be popular, is rejected by popular kids, then becomes more popular by besting the popular kids that made fun of her in the first place.

    However, this movie went beyond formulaic. It bordered on offensive to both my eyes and ears.

    The acting was sub-par and not believable in any way. The stereotypes and the accents made me cringe...and at times, made me out-right laugh.

    I've never been as bored when watching a dance sequence before. It was sloppy and made me want to sleep until they where over.

    This movie should be buried in that hole where they buried all those Atari E.T. games.

    A waste of time, effort of everyone involved and money. People should lose their jobs over this steaming stinker.

    Just seemed to have missed the mark

    Bring It On: Fight to the Finish is another installment in the Bring It On cheerleading franchise, attempting to recapture the energy and appeal of the original films. Christina Milian takes the lead here, and her performance is easily the highlight of the movie. She brings charisma, skill, and a natural presence to the role, helping maintain some consistency and relatability within the series. Milian's dedication to her role makes the cheerleading sequences engaging, and she injects some much-needed energy into the film's central team dynamics.

    However, the screenplay leaves much to be desired. The story is slow and lacks the depth or creative narrative of the original Bring It On. While the first film successfully combined competition with personal growth and complex character interactions, Fight to the Finish primarily focuses on cheerleading rivalries and the routine of preparation and competition. This narrow focus limits emotional engagement, leaving viewers with a sense that the characters are underdeveloped and the story lacks substance. The pacing suffers as a result, making some sequences feel drawn out or formulaic.

    Director Bille Woodruff handles the cheerleading action competently. The routines are visually appealing and well-choreographed, showcasing the athleticism and teamwork of the cast. Yet, while the action sequences succeed, the narrative fails to build sufficient tension or provide meaningful character arcs. Moments meant to evoke investment in the story often fall flat, leaving the film feeling like an extended showcase of routines rather than a fully fleshed-out movie.

    Despite these issues, the film has its entertaining moments. Milian's presence and the spirited cheer sequences offer fun for fans of the franchise, and there's a nostalgic appeal for those who enjoyed previous installments. While it doesn't reach the storytelling quality or charm of the original, it delivers the basics of a cheerleading movie: rivalry, performance, and teamwork.

    Ultimately, Bring It On: Fight to the Finish is an average entry in the franchise. It's worth checking out for Christina Milian's performance and the lively cheer routines, but it's not a standout film and lacks the narrative depth and engagement that made the first movie memorable. Fans may enjoy it as a light, fun watch, but it doesn't hold up as a strong continuation of the series.

    • Trivia
      The movie was filmed at locations around Malibu.
    • Goofs
      Catalina says she's Cuban-American, but she uses words or slang that are not Cuban at all. For example, she says "SOIS familia" which is, in Spanish, the second-person plural that is only used by people from Spain. Cubans would have said "SON familia" meaning "YOU are family." She also says "Orale," which is a common interjection in Mexican slang only.

      Catalina 'Lina' Cruz: This is Sea Lion territory. Don't ever shake your conceited Jag butt over here again!

      Avery: Excuse me. Then who's supposed to show your school what a real squad looks like?

      Kayla: Not this mariachi band.

      Treyvonetta: [aggressively] You're so lucky I found Jesus.

      Gloria: [pulls the antagonists apart] Hey, hey, hey...!

      Treyvonetta: I didn't use my hands!

      Gloria: All right! But you can't *fight* girls like this. They press charges.

      Avery: Right. Run away.
