A little disappointing

Rating: 5/10 (14 May 2015)

I was anticipating for the sequel for Pitch Perfect, I basically can't wait for it to be out in my local cinema. This sequel is a little disappointing to watch as it has quite some cliché story lines. The plot aren't as solid and some of the movie parts are chunky, it doesn't has a smooth transition to it.
Some characters are not themselves anymore. A prime example would be Beca, she isn't the first Beca whom we knew, she seemed like she has lost her attitude & personality. Not the cool and independent Beca that we saw in the first movie. Also, Fat Amy's persona is exaggerated. Yes, I know people like her in the first movie, I do too, in fact, she is one of my favourite but in this sequel, she appears unintelligent somehow.
I feel like Emily's role doesn't really contribute much impact to the movie. They should have give her more screen time/more development for her character.
Lastly, some jokes on other nationalities are quite insensitive. Especially the part where John introduces the Indian acapellas? And also the subtle jokes about the Germans, they are not very pleasant.
Overall, I expected better based on it's previous success. It is an OK movie that doesn't leave a lingering impression.
