not the worst, not the best
worst bring it on movie of the series.
Nothing special but Not bad
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
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
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.

- TriviaThe movie was filmed at locations around Malibu.
- GoofsCatalina 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.
