Doesn't Even Compare to the First Movie

Rating: 3/10 (9 July 2008)

First off let me just say that this movie was not horrible, but in my opinion it didn't even compare to the first Step Up movie (which BTW I would absolutely say is one of my top 10 movies).At first I couldn't believe that they were making a Step Up 2 without the two lead roles in the first Step Up ( HOTT Channing Tatum and the GORGEOUS Jenna Dewan)that made the first Step Up movie such a success. I saw the movie Step Up 2 with a bunch of my friends when it first came out, HOPING that it would be as good as the first one.BOY WAS I WRONG. I gave this movie 2 stars truly based on dancing. And even that wasn't all so great! All the dances looked the same and they all looked like they were trying to hard, or showing off- unlike Channing which unlike him it looked like it just came natural! Watching Hiphop after hip-hop after hip-hop just got boring and The storyline was absolutely horrible and the two lead characters had no chemistry whatsoever. Now that I'm thinking about it I probably would have never seen this movie if I hadn't been for Channing Tatum in it. AND I BET THAT NONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO SAW THIS MOVIE WOULD HAVE NEVER SEEN IT IF IT HADNT BEEN FOR CHANNING TATUM IN THAT ONE SCENE! In my opinion no one can touch Channing Tatum's dance moves and at least in the first Step Up movie they had variety of ballet and hip hop dancing. I can honestly say that after seeing the first Step Up I immediately said "I HAVE TO OWN THIS MOVIE WHEN IT COMES OUT" and with Step Up 2 I was very disappointed and also a bit annoyed that they would even think about making a sequel to a movie that didn't need one.And if they were to make a sequel it should have definitely had Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan in it. So If you want to see this movie do not go into it hoping for it to beat out the original Step Up, but go into it to get a good listening of music. As most of you can probably tell by reading this I am ADDICTED to Step Up (the original) and the Hottest actor on earth: Channing Tatum. Sorry, he just is amazingly gorgeous. Female FACT.<333 One last thing I have to say * Channing Tatum is hot as hell and ya'll are stupid to put a semi good looking guy as the male lead in the sequel!* HOPE I HELPED :]
