So slapped together it feels less like a movie than an extended montage...
Top CriticIf you're hoping for intricate plotting, suspense or even nominal character development, StreetDance 2 is unlikely to waltz away with your heart.
Boutella shows promise beyond her day job as one of Madonna's dancers but otherwise speaking parts are sensibly limited to those who can act.
When the provocative rhythms of Latin fuse with funky street-dancing, the result is sexy, visceral and exciting. Sofia Boutella is a sensation; watching her dance is sure to drive young men to distraction.
Energetic dance routines interrupted now and then by unlikely dialogue and wooden acting: Welcome to StreetDance 2.
Like almost all dance films, Streetdance 2 has failed to find extremely talented dancers who are also even remotely credible actors.
All the sentiments about 'being all you can be' fall somewhat flat against the cynically commercial feel of StreetDance 2's enterprise, which credits the audience with one brain-cell each.
It's cornier than a field full of maize, of course, but its lack of scrappy charm renders it so tedious...
The 3D is moderately imaginative...
As a piece of catchy pop culture, the StreetDance franchise has a natural buzz - just don't expect much more than awesome moves for your money.
The story is even flimsier than before, but the dancing is even more electrifying... The vibrant choreography fuses hip-hop hustle and Latin sensuality and the climactic dance number is so cool it raises goosebumps.
If streetdance is your thing, this will go down a treat.
An eye-popping and vibrant coming together of super-sexy salsa and spectacular, stylish street dance makes for a fun and entertaining bit of 3D cinema.
Directors Max Giwa and Dania Pasquini use too much flashy editing, which detracts from the dancing. The final showdown is particularly disappointing.
In this worthy successor, it's once again the dancing that counts, and this sure-fire crowd-pleaser delivers sensational high-energy routines to some great pop hits.
Streetdance 2 has brash energy; it does not neglect to do what it says on the tin and the lack of realism is no problem.
A new emphasis on Latin dance means the choreography is often stomach-flutteringly seductive, but it's hard not to regret the loss of the first film's uniquely British flavour.
There are hidden charms a-plenty.
You'll realise you're the one who is going to be tangoed.
Tom Conti is good value as a fleet-footed bar owner and the dance sequences are vigorously staged but the story is plodding and perfunctory and has no connection with the earlier film...
Although essentially a series of genuinely impressive dance set pieces linked by no more than adequate dramatic interludes, this scores thanks to its sly acknowledgment that street dance can take itself a little too seriously.
