Not very good.. :(
I would say only one group could actually hold a beat and really dance.. The Asian group. Well I think they were. Anyway if you watch the movie you will know. Needed much more dancing. Good dancing. Not even comparable to the first movie. Or any other dance movie.So don't get your hopes up and don't sit back to be ready to dance with the movie lol. Not good at all.I can't dance myself so who am I to talk but I do know good dancing.But understandble the movie had to be made.Just should have been made properly.Stomp The Yard.. Idlewild..:) .. Dance Flick.. just kidding.. but seriously this movie needed a lot of work. Only cost me 1.50 to buy so its going in my give away stack for the holidays.
Great Dancing
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!
Out of a very boring and formulated lousy screenplay
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.
Weak story, good moves but no soul
"Beat the World" tries to capture the energy and excitement of street dance competitions, but ends up feeling flat and uninspired. While the dance sequences are visually impressive, the story lacks emotion and depth. The characters are underdeveloped, and the dialogue often feels forced. It seems like the movie focuses more on flashy choreography than on telling a meaningful story. Despite some good dance moments, it fails to leave any real impact.
hip hop flop
This movie completely surpassed my expectations.... as to how bad it would be. I was expecting the terrible acting. I was expecting a nearly non-existent story with more holes than a fine swiss cheese. Unfortunately I was also expecting some jaw-dropping dance moves, which is ultimately the only reason anyone would put themselves through a movie like this. However in this respect the movie totally failed. The dancing is almost completely uninspiring. I have recently been watching the TV show "Americas best dance crew", which is the only reason I watched Beat the World, but in comparison the dancing in the movie is just Lame, with a capital L. I feel violated.
