Freaktana A Major Disappointment
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
rightwingisevil The Hip-Hot competition did not look like an international one but local event. If it's international, all the countries participated should have their competitions first until the best team won and qualified for the so-called "International" competition. But the so-called "Beat The World International Competition" was nothing but a sort of backstreet event in one of the American city. The participating teams, especially the team from Brazil was so bad and so mediocre that their dancing skill was even worse than their English. There's nothing so international at all, because you could easily tell most of these boys and girls actually lived in America, they just played as foreign young people. The screenplay was so bad that it didn't fall apart from the very beginning because it never solidified at all in the first place. There was no scenario or plot, everything was just so predictable and so deadbeat boring. The so-called competition dancing, the romance, the maverick or the dark horse, the foe or friend, the normal middle class family, the high school drop-out, the misunderstanding, the quarrel, the fights, the cheating, the helplessness...and so on, all the ingredients used in this pathetic movie were old stuff that had already been used maybe thousand times in other crappy movies. There's nothing newer or better than all the movies in the same genre we have already seen before.
alex_igi2000 If you thought you are going to be amazed by this movie that followed the first "You got served" -- you're going to be very disappointed. When the first movie appeared, even though it had bad reviews as storyline and / or acting, the dancing was sick, and it was revolutionary. Someone "got served", there were battles, but first of all there were DANCERS. After 7 years in which urban dance evolved incredibly, "Beat the world" comes with an even worse script, no dancing (except for some poppers and lockers), no routines, nothing !!! It just blows … As a professional dancer and choreographer, "You got served" was a key in what street-dancing should look like, and after 7 years the sequel just made my sleepy. Very disappointed.
ayman said have you ever seen a van damme movie ?you Know when he train hard for some competition ? and then he travel to some Asian country ? and he meets some arch enemy ?you do ?then Imagine van damme but instead of the karate it is hip hop so how do i begin ?the recluses acting?or the silly story ?i mean i cant stop laughing about that seen when one of the character actually tell you the the next haft hour is a Foregone conclusion he literally spoil most of the movie for you ? and that's my friend is how bad this movie is .the only thing that is good about this movie is the dancing.
clarkj-565-161336 If you like great dancing, then this is a movie for you. Although other dance movies feature local dance competitions, in this movie dancers come from all over the world, not just locally - Berlin Germany, and Rio in Brazil. Some of the moves are incredible, it's hard to believe that the laws of physics are not being broken. The dancers are all amazing, but I think that Stephanie Nguyen really sticks out. Also I like Ray Johnson (Sho Tyme), great sense of humour and of course great sense of taste. It is also very interesting to see how the various crews train, nothing comes without lots of work and of course for the Fusion Crew, it helps that they have their own X-Man coach!
