You Got Served: Beat the World

Short summery: Camera guys don't even know to capture the dancers whole body when they're shooting the dance. They keep cutting back and forth from shooting the body at wast up to shooting the face close up. People who watches dance movies wants to watch hand movements and foot work not just stare at faces. The sound tracks suck because they don't even match the events that went on and don't even describe "HIP-HOP". The music didn't even go with any of the dances. It was like doing a free style dancing with mambo music. During the competition in the movie, there were no dance where the dancers actually danced to the music. They were dancing to a separate soundtrack that was filled in. Even the crowd cheering were fake.

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.

Don't waste your time on it. Maybe the first "You got served" had a lame story line as well, but the dancing was hot and fresh. Everything about this second one is trash. Don't waste your time.

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!

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.
