STREETDANCE 2

With full confidence, StreetDance 2 displays the tagline "Bigger, Better, bolder, Back!" Big in their poster. Tagline that bad, actually, but effective enough to provoke the curiosity of the audience, especially for those who entertained with his first volume. As with all three series Step Up, StreetDance 2 can be enjoyed as a stand-alone movie without having to view the previous series so I can understand the plot. Than a dozen main characters, only Eddie (George Sampson) who returned to greet the audience, the rest disappeared somewhere. Even during the movie was absolutely no tilt. Meanwhile, Max Giwa and Dania Pasquini still occupies the directorial chair, while for the affairs of the manuscript, Jane English was ready to mess around in knitting words into a story that has a continuous groove. Supported by a core team with dreams of more ambitious than ever to create a sequel that is more jarring, StreetDance second glance appears to be a promising project for me. Yes, at least before I tasted the first 10 minutes of the film.

Like the majority of the dance movie, StreetDance 2 were indifferent to the manuscript. You will not find neatly interwoven storylines, or strong characterizations here. The film was released in the UK in March this relies on a series of pure dance scene and a pop-up 3D as a selling tool. In previous films, it's working, but not this time. The problems started when Ash (Falk Hentschel), a popcorn vendor, trying to show off dancing skills in front of her dance group that boasted Invicible knock on wood. Instead of praise, it was mocked because Ash fell in the midst of his attempt to steal the show. Eddie was then approached him after the embarrassing incident. Eddie volunteered to be the manager of Ash to Ash to get revenge on Invicible in Street Dancing Final Clash tournament in Paris. Without further ado, the duo also visited various countries in Europe to collect street dancers who qualified to put together a team led by Ash. To win, it takes an innovation - which unfortunately never occurred to the screenwriters! Ash tries to add the Latin element into streetdance team. How, by recruiting a Salsa dancer, Eva (Sofia Boutella).

StreetDance 2 script remarkable shallow exacerbated by the acting of the players are perfunctory. The film was tainted. The audience is never given a further opportunity to get to know the main character, even to Ash and Eva. Ash and Eva's background remains a mystery until the movie ends. As a result, for me, they are strangers. In this way, I am reluctant to put their sympathy. As if not enough, Street Dance 2 conflict was hardly equipped to make the audience freeze. Burden of conflict is so light, the solution was easy and fast. At one point, I feel like I'm watching a movie made by Disney Channel TV instead of movies. No hope in the department's acting and script, so I tried to focus on dance choreography. Luckily, the sequel to the 3D StreetDance still have enough ammunition. Admittedly, all kinds of dance that  almost constant throughout the film is quite entertaining, though some of them was exhausting to follow. The most attention, of course, is the 'final battle' that meet invicible and Popcorn - Team Ash - Final Clash on stage. With a pop-up 3D, then this scene into a slick cover after 70 minutes before going flat. Also thanks to this scene, the movie is saved. At least time and money are not wasted my precious to useless. There is still worthy of scrutiny. To end this review, I want to say to you that the tagline of this movie can not be trusted at all! Only the word 'back' that you can hold. StreetDance 2 is not better, not bigger, and no more daring than the first instalmen. Disappointing.
