Retains the interesting parts from the original movie and added something new

Rating: 7/10 (17 June 2015)

Well, at least the story quality is still about the same, considering that it's being as predictable as it was in the first movie. Yet as the first movie did, this second installment really knows what are it's plus points to retain and emphasize on and added more interesting stuff into the mix. I like how the movie retains the original a capella battles with the free styling, although this time it's quite not as grand as it was on the original movie. I also like the songs which are still able to do they task of keeping the movie's mood always up. The comedic inserts are also nicely placed, even in the middle of the supposedly dramatic finale. I absolutely like how the movie added cameos of great artists in the real industry like Snoop Dogg, and the judges from The Voice. The acting work in overall is just a bit above the standards. Anna Kendrick and Hailee Steinfeld, being the most prominent names in the cast list, should have done better, though. Rebel Wilson nicely keeps her character's as the anchor for the comedic points.
