You Got Served 2 and Abduction (2011)

Okay so in the past few days I watched those two, You Got Served 2 and Abduction.

Starting with You Got Served - Beat the World (2011), a dance movie about three dance crews from Brazil, Berlin and USA that are getting ready to compete at the international Beat the World competition in Detroit.
I got to say I was a bit disappointed, I was hoping for more since this is the follow up to You Got Served from 2004.

The fact we have 3 different worlds is interesting but it gets lost because the transition between scenes and stories is not continuous. How do I say this? The stories are too detached for most of the movie and they shouldn't be as much. Of course they are from completely different backgrounds but they have dance in common, that passion, the work, routines, moves, ideas.

Other thing are the actors, there wasn't a connection between some when there should be. For example, Eric with everyone else, I wasn't feeling it. Okay he's good, he's cocky and all that but every scene with him was too forced, too unreal.

I really like Stephanie Nguyen's character Nina. Something about the way she moves, the way you can see how she is when she dances, how she expresses herself when she's sad, angry, calm... All that thru dance.

In the end, the Brazilian crew wasn't that good in my opinion, they could have picked up more Brazilian flavor, could have made it unique.
The parkour moves made a big difference, adding dynamic to Fusion's routine.

Overall it wasn't the movie I was expecting, I was hoping for something much better, with sick moves and a good story.


->Up next Abduction

So about Abduction (2011), movie about a teenager that discovers his face in a missing persons website and starts questioning all his life, his parents and himself. A lot of action involved, secrets, lies, CIA, Russians and of course a girl.

There's not much to say.
This was better than the other movie, it was what was expected, a movie with drama, thriller and action.The story was good, not that many loopholes, somewhat predictable since we knew from the beginning what would probably happen but even so... It was entertaining to watch.

The fight scenes were good, almost thought they would break the train lol
But it was a good movie.



I've seen many movies between the last post and this one but hadn't had the time to put up my reviews and comments. Will try to be more consistent since I see movies every week :)

See ya
