More of the same

Rating: 5/10 (25 August 2014)

22 Jump Street had few funny moments and a similar storyline to its prequel, but that's about it. With subpar acting, weak plot and somewhat bland comedy, the second instalment has much to improve upon.
This film recasts familiar faces with Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum as costars. As their bromance is tenuous in the new world of college, they begin to undergo changes. Watching this movie was exciting at times and a bore at others. With good scenes scattered seldom among the rest, I did not enjoy this movie as much as I had hoped. The jokes were common and action was numbing.
Although this movie has been featured throughout the summer as a hit, it is a miss. Hopefully future instalments will try to be more original.
