thumbnail Review: We've seen these 'Battle of the Year' steps before
Sep 19th 2013, 22:40, by By Annlee Ellingson

"Battle of the Year" isn't so much inspired by director Benson Lee's 2007 break-dancing documentary "Planet B-Boy" as it is an ad for it. Not only is the previous well-regarded film referred to by name — "You've seen 'Planet B-Boy,' right?" — but footage from it is used intermittently throughout. Add in overt product placement from Sony, Puma and Braun — star Josh Holloway actually "shaves" his considerable stubble with an electric razor — and this 3-D spectacle is less the dance movie that's going to make b-boying cool again than a shill for sponsors' gear.
