Step Up 2: The Streets (2008)

Romantic sparks occur between two dance students from different backgrounds at the Maryland School of the Arts. Step Up 2: The Streets is the sequel to the suprising and well entertaining Step Up (2006) that starred Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan but unlike the first one this sequel goes to a whole new level, sure there's romance and dance but the main characters have changed and to be honest that's even better, Briana Evigan was really good both acting wise and definitely dancing wise especially that scene in the rain was pretty epic. Tatum does return for the sequel but in a supporting role or should i say more of a cameo so some people might be disappointed. (8/10)

Step up 2 is a fairly good movie to watch, except the fact that it's cliché. The movie has an amazing dance choreography which will leave you dumb founded. I should say that all the dancers & performers who have been involved in this movie has done a great job, but acting wise not so good maybe because that's the way the story is made. Like i said before, the story is cliché. Surprisingly, it's actually quite inspiring seeing how great & talented these dancers are. I'd rate this movie into 3 categories story,acting,dancing. Story : Not so good. Acting: I'd say good because the story is meaningless and what more can you act?. Dancing: Great. Highlight of the movie since the movie is all about dancing,It's mandatory that the dancing is at least good. Summing up, It's a good movie to watch if you're a person who is into watching chick flicks but not saying this is a chick flick or if you like watching dance/musical movie then this is a perfect movie for you to uplift & warm up your mind

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

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
