2008-08-17
Found Step Up 2 through this seller. Put it on pre-order and a few days after the DVD's nationwide release it was at my house. Good service. No damage and in great condition out of the package. I am satisfied with this purchase and would purchase through this seller again.
Step Up 2 
2008-08-09
Good movie...Surpassed the first one. Couple of scenes that you could tell were cut in the middle. The end was amazing.
Stepped up the dance scenes but not much else...

I loved Step Up and eagerly awaited number 2... However, what you see of Tyler Gage (Channing Tatum) in the trailer is all that you will see of him in the movie! The plot rates a zero but the dancing is off the hook - don't miss the finale in the rain! If you liked Honey and Stomp the Yard be sure to see The Streets. If those movies weren't your style then I wouldn't recommend this flick.
I HEART STEP UP 2 2008-08-02
I have to say I LOVED the first Step Up its been on high rotation since it came out, I would have watched it at least 100 times!!!! So when I heard there was a sequal coming out I was fearful it wouldn't hold up to the first but I must say I shouldn't have worried I think I LOVE it even more! Channing's still in it, (his co-star from She's the Man) Robert's the new leading man and theres more dancing then the original. What else could you ask for?
The is THE dance movie! 2008-08-01
Step Up 1 had PHENOMENAL dancing. Just PHENOMENAL. The sexy actors were just a bonus. But this is at another level. This is THE dancing movie! The dancing outshines every aspect of this movie that you don't even remember what the story was about. I loved that there was dancing everywhere. That's what a dance movie should be, shouldn't it? Rather than making the antsy viewer wait 'til the finale to enjoy some real dancing.
To comment on the acting and directing - in all honesty, it was not too shabby at all. Obviously, they weren't going for the oscars but then the movie IS about kids from the streets who have passion for dancing. The movie generally stays true to the spirit of that - and the credit goes to the actors and the director. I was especially impressed with Rob Hoffman and Cassie. Rob Hoffman, known for his edgy pranks, was very believable in his role. Cassie, singer turned actor, also surprised me with her portrayal of Sophie - I thought she would bomb like many other singer turned actor.
Back to my point - step up and watch this movie. The dancing is just SICK!
Step up 2 all about the Men and the Finale 2008-07-30
When rebellious street dancer Andie lands at the elite Maryland School of the Arts, she finds herself fighting to fit in while also trying to hold onto her old life. When she joins forces with the schools hottest dancer, Chase, to form a crew of classmate outcasts to compete in Baltimore s underground dance battle The Streets, she ultimately finds a way to live her dream while building a bridge between her two separate worlds.
Good to see JabbaWockeez, Robert Hoffman, and Mari Koda

I love hip hop--the music, the breaking (along with other forms of dancing), and the culture, but I have yet to see a hip hop movie that I really loved. The reason why these movies always fail ("Honey," "Save the Last Dance," "You Got Served," "Step Up,") are because the movies either fail in acting skills or level of dance. I enjoyed "Step Up" solely because of Channing Tatum's excellent dance skills, but the girl in that movie looked like she was counting every single hip hop step. In "How She Move," the issue was that the music directors kept playing music during the stepping scenes and stepping is supposed to be so powerful that you just listen to the body music, also an issue in parts of "Stomp the Yard" (although I loved the latter film). I was not at all surprised when I wasn't moved by this film. The lead female character, like so many others, looked like she learned hip hop dancing yesterday right after her model shoot. I'm not saying this to be facetious, but the problem with Hollywood movies is they pick what they think people will find attractive rather than skill level. I watched Briana Evigan dance, and almost every move was followed by some video girl pose or hard concentration on her face. Miss Prissy (of "Rize") is a good example of how a female whose background is in hip hop usually looks when she dances. The grit in the female dancers is ALWAYS missing in these movies, but it's replaced by pop star poses. I hate that!
If we get past her character, which could have been left out altogether and focused moreso on Chase Collins (played by Robert Hoffman), this movie might've worked. I have seen him on "Wild n' Out," and I think he has phenomenal skill. His acting skills are cool too, but I also wasn't buying Evigan's acting. The first half of the movie, especially with the 410 Crew, sounded like they were reading straight from the script. No emotion; just words. That made me think of "You Got Served" again, which had to be the worst acting I've ever seen. "Breakin' and "Breakin' 2" also had bad acting, but the dancing was so tight that I didn't even care.
This movie also had more cliches than a little bit: 1) a guy and a girl sitting in a tree kissing (Are you serious? And who climbs trees with a dress on?); 2) a guy and a girl kissing in the rain; 3) the entire crowd in the final scene going out through what looked like a storm and not one person put up an umbrella (Sistas are NOT trying to get their hair wet; ask one sista you know right now to go stand outside in the rain and see how she looks at you); 4) no reason whatsoever that Moose should've been a nerd nor was that character developed enough; 5) Andie's crew went to the club to show off their new moves but they acted like they were new to the neighborhood, which doesn't make any sense considering Andie used to be in 410 Crew and Chase frequented this area and danced in the very beginning of the movie (How do you make someone look inexperienced who has experience from years of practicing?)
Pros: The el train scene at the beginning of the movie kicked this movie into high gear, and I was immediately entertained. I loved the dude (Alfred "Black" Thomas) who plays Tuck, although I wish he'd take that scowl off his face every once in awhile. I checked him out in "Stomp the Yard," but I got to really admire his dancing in this film. I always enjoy watching Channing Tatum because he dances so tight and puts a little stank in his moves, almost like he's also influenced by traditional African dancing with the popping. Robert Hoffman was ridiculous as usual, and I'd like to see a dance off between him and Channing. I wish Mari Koda played the female lead because she killed her role in this movie. It's about time that movies started incorporating the Asian influence in hip hop; I know Japanese people who live and breathe it harder than the average person in the club. Everything about her dancing was polished. However, the person who really caught my attention was Moose (Adam G. Sevani). That cat was SICK! If I saw him walking down the street, I wouldn't peg him as a hip hop head, but everything about his moves told me he's been dancing for a long time, and if he hasn't, he sure fooled me. To put it plain, there were a couple of girls that I took notice of, but overall, the guys outshined them in this movie. And I was so amped to see the JabbaWockeez. They are one of the best crews I've ever seen in my entire life.
Would I want to see this movie again? No. Will I buy it? Nope, renting it was fine. But I still have faith that someday there will be a hip hop movie that I can go "That's it! That has all of the elements--great acting, excellent dancing, and an unpredictable plot." At least I hope so because this movie plot was about as recycled as the blue bag program.
Amazed by the talent! 2008-07-19
I was absolutely blown away by the dancing in this movie. The acting is fine and I was drawn in by the characters. The rain dance scene at the end is in itself alone worth the price. Absolutely astounded!
Step up 2! 2008-07-19
You always wonder if the sequal will be as good as the first one I will tell you this it was that and then some lol :) I loved it Channing Tatum is not only hot he is also in this movie at the first part of the movie. He is a great dancer all the choreography in this film is as good as the first film. The soundtrack is even better:)
Step Up 2: The Streets (Sequence Vs Orginal) 2008-07-18
Now whilst I fully understand where prior reviews have said that sequels are not as good as original, I don't think some of your reasons are substantial. Life is not something that stays in one place its ever changing so to bring back original people to be in the film would just be going against what life is about, which is moving forward. The only film I felt they should have brought back original cast was the Prince and Me 2, that girl was horrible. My reason for this is that the sequence is directly about what happened after the original so it would have been prudent to do so.
Step Up was an average movie; in my opinion the dancing could have been way better than what they shown. Where as Step Up 2's dancing was way better than the Original including the story line which I think they could have spiced up more. Overall I would say the sequence was better.
Now as for the few mistakes the Directors and Producers made some were extremely obvious, especially the ending dancing, how can more than one person, go from wearing jackets to wearing a regular T-Shirt can someone explain that to me, and I would fail to believe they left that in deliberately. I would understand if they started out with the jackets on and then took it off during filming like cable when he was clearing the water or something, not switching back and forth with the jackets appearing and disappearing that was sad.
