Why Step Up 2 Sucks (0/5)

Step Up 2 was an abomination upon film making. A movie filled with one-dimensional characters whose only reason for existence was hip-hop dance exhibition.

Cinematography: The cinematography work is like they were trying to emulate all those cell phone videos of Gangsters Asians dancing on youtube. Now don't get me wrong I love to see Gangsters Asians dancing on youtube, but if I'm watching an honest to God, marketed, released, and distributed movie, you better have some camera angles better then, "Far out shot of steps" Angled shot of mirror in dance hall" I would put more but those are the only shots that weren't simple this person is talking or this person is dancing shots.

Wardrobe:It appears like whoever was in charge of wardrobes decided each person could only wear variations of the clothes they were introduced with, as such the main character goes through 15 different tank tops in movie, non of them covering her cleavage and none of them covering her stomach, its obviously standard "babe wears skanky clothes" but after awhile it just becomes implausibly ridiculous.

Plot: This movie had a plot? Wait no it didn't a plot is generally something engaging that makes the viewer want to stay until the end to see what happens, step up 2 had none of this, in fact what made you keep watching was the dancing. Which is pretty good I will concede that, but if you couldn't care less about what choreographed hip hop dancing looks like if they pretended they are improving it, and you have a job so your not getting all your money from daddy's fat fat wallet you are going to be pretty damn annoyed if not angry that you just paid 12.50 to see something you could have seen for free on youtube.

Music: Step-Up 2 is all about music right? So it makes sense for them to have good music right? Wrong, by picking mostly contemporary pop (from the time) they ensured the movies shelf-life of about 2 months until new pop songs are created. As for the actual editing and cutting of sound it was terrible, songs rough start and stop and each new song follows this silly pattern of having something like a cellphone or radio or something play a crappy quality version then having a master track chime in when the dancing starts.

Acting:This movie doesn't have it

Directing: See Acting

Summary: In short Step up 2 is nothing more then eye candy for adolescent fan girls who get their jollies by staring at the pieces of man meat because they are too ashamed to look at google images for the real stuff. The movie in fact is an overglorfied youtube playlist of dance numbers perpetuated by carefully choreographed groups who are allegedly "free styling in the street". Step up, Step up 2 Stomp the Yard and all of those crap dancing movies playlists are nothing more then bait for wannabee teenagers who don't want to acknowledge that they will never be anywhere near the physical condition required to perform any of those routines. So to those of us smart enough to realize this obvious reality, all we can do is point, laugh, and pray these people quietly exit our planet before our generation takes any responsibility. Lest our next war is decided with a dance off and the winner gets the others country.

I give Step Up 2 ZERO totem poles out of Five 0/5
