Slant Magazine
The film busts a fierce move but never relishes the unique cultural essence that its gentrifying baddie threatens to snuff out. - 60
Movieline
Step Up Revolution is also not a movie you watch for its incredible story and dialogue. The film doesn't even share much connective tissue with its predecessors save for an appearance from Adam Sevani as Moose. - 50
Variety
Step Up Revolution, the fourth entry in the venerable dance franchise, is a narrative failure but a triumph of sheer spectacle. - 50
Chicago Sun-Times
OK, OK. They're good dancers, and well-choreographed. You can see the movie for that and be charitable about the moronic plot. - 50
Arizona Republic
McCormick is particularly grating in upholding her half of the romantic duo. Sure, she can dance, but act? - 42
Tampa Bay Times
Step Up Revolution is a bad movie with a few good moments, usually when the cast sets aside delusions of acting prowess and does what comes naturally to them. - 42
The A.V. Club
Those dance sequences are Step Up Revolution's major sticking point. No one goes to a dance movie for the plot, but the lower the expectations drop for the story, the higher they rise for the raison d'être performances. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
Abercrombie & Fitch model Guzman looks every bit the metrosexual romantic lead, but also makes a credible partner for So You Think You Can Dance star McCormick. Fortunately, neither is called upon to stretch too far in the acting department and both are able to get by with good looks and flashy moves.
