filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Samiam3 The more flips or spins or twirls, or shakes, Step up 2 does, the more time the audience has to reflect on the fact that this amateurish enterprise is missing everything elseStep Up 2 makes every story-telling mistake possible: Dialogue driven, over-exposition, Flat characters, contrived plot devices, silly lines, and an insulting misuse of montage. Step Up wasn't so well written itself, but at least it look like the product of a filmmaker. This looks like the product of a hack. It is striped to the bone of story, and over stuffed with dance numbers that look choppy and uneven, like a cobbled together mix of every dance style ever. Step Up 2 doesn't make street dancing look impressive at all. Step up 2, as promising as it may sound, is surprisingly inept. everything goes to waste including the two hours in the life of whoever foolishly chooses to approach this picture
KineticSeoul Personally I liked this movie a bit better than the first "Step Up" movie. Mainly cause it focuses more on dancing than romance, although it has romance in it. The story in this one is super ridiculous and weak compared to the first film, not saying the first "Step Up" was good or anything. None of the characters was even really memorable in this, except maybe the character Moose. It would have been a better film with the new crew that gets made has more dancing in it, in competitions. The dancing at the end of this film is actually pretty cool and is done pretty well and is entertaining to watch. Just would have been better if it had more of that stuff. The dancing outside the competition, was pretty entertaining to watch as well, it was just slick, fast and cool. Although the story is pretty weak and ridiculous for these types of flick, you can't really expect much in that department. Plus it wasn't irritating to watch or anything, it also has more dancing in it as well than the first.6.2/10
breakfree89 I went to see the movie expecting it to hate it. I guess I'm one of those people on which the IMDb ratings have started having effect. But just like QoS, Raise Your Voice, and Thirteen, I was disappointed not by the movie, but by the IMDb 's rating. The movie isn't bad at all, in fact, with all the dancing and the music, it's fun. I think we're getting too harsh on movies, instead of just having fun we're becoming critical about every little aspect/fault a movie has. Come on guys, the dancing is the best I've ever seen, the songs are catchy, and even the story isn't that bad. It's not even half as bad as I thought it must be. Its NOT a movie that's going to change your entire life, but one that will make your hours worth it. Watch it, ignoring the comments here. Give the movie an honest shot and it won't disappoint.
Pablo_Zen Why watch this movie if you aren't expecting a super cool dance flick with the moves and shakes that make you zeal for the streets? Of course, u shouldn't be expecting a hearty romance with couples doing a lovely nice ballet on the 'dance floor'!! This movie is about the "Streets", and surely does it stand up to its expectations...Highly recommended for all movie buffs who want to enjoy a flick that promises the crudeness of streets in the dance fraternity... It shows that dance is not just about winning or losing in a competition, but way more... And the way Andie puts it in the movie...."Its not about what you have ... its about what YOU DO with what you have!" I enjoyed this movie to the fullest, and hope you'd like it if you have danced for once in your life... even if it was for the small one that you did on the Disc floor, trying to impress the girl dancing close!!
