Watch Step Up 2: The Streets For Free

Sorry, this movie sucks

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

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)

After Channing Tatum broke out, they decided to make this into a franchise. The sequels would grow increasingly tiresome, I just felt with every sequel they would rehash the storyline from the original, but in different ways, but this one is actually decent for what it is. The gorgeous Brianna Evigan takes over the lead in this one, and does a solid job. Her bubbly, yet defiant personality was a treat to watch. I'm surprised her career hasn't taken off like I expected. Robert Hoffman lacks Channing Tatum's charisma, but he made for an OK, if underwhelming lead. He & Brianna lack the spark that Channing & Jenna Dewan have. The dance scenes are fairly good. Around the beginning of the film, Channing Tatum has a quick cameo at a dance club of sorts, and to be honest the movie could have used him fully. Overall though, I had an OK time with this movieFinal Thoughts: It won't turn your world upside down, but if you enjoyed the original like I did, I'm sure you'll find things to like about this one. Worth a look6/10

'Step Up 2: The Streets' follows a typical storyline of an 'underdog' striving to make it and in the end overcomes all obstacles and succeeds. The dialogues are passable, mostly the typical lines. But, what makes it so entertaining is the incredible dance sequences, amazingly choreographed and superbly performed by the actors/dancers. The film is full of energy and excitement. Break dancing (well, dancing in general) is something that has always intrigued me so the film kept me engaged throughout. The acting is adequate. Briana Evigan is a talented dancer and not a bad actress either. Her other cast members dance well too. The soundtrack boosts of adrenaline guiding and giving voice to the dance moves. In spite of the done to death storyline, I enjoyed this one. Anyone interested in dance should watch this.

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 user'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.
