Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Blistering performances.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

I just want to begin by stating that I do not understand why this movie is called You Got Served: Beat the World. It pales in comparison to You Got Served and it is a travesty that it will be associated with that film because of the title. I honestly don't understand why it wasn't just titled Beat the World and do not want to take the time to research why. As far as I can tell, just based on what is listed on IMDb, the writer and director of the movie, Robert Adetuyi, was not at all involved with the first You Got Served.Plot aside, I cannot fathom why after seeing such films as You Got Served, Step Up 2, Step Up 3 and various other dance films, that he would think we would want to see a dance film with this caliber of street dance. The dance moves were very amateurish and slow as if it was trying to be a "how-to" instructional type of video to street dancing.I played the movie again, fast forwarding through all of the dialogue to the dance scenes to show my best friend, who also commented on how amateurish the moves were, particularly the Brazilian team and the main character for the American team, Yuson.We then immediately watched Step Up 3 (which she had never seen) and after the very first battle (w/Red Hook) she said, "oh my gosh, this is so decent!" She even commented that the Pirates rehearsal was better than anything she had just seen in Beat the World.Horror and Sci-Fi are my favorite genres, and I have watched a lot of horror movies that received horrible reviews because I just had to see them for myself considering that I love horror movies. Therefore, if you are an avid dance/musical movie fan, I understand the need to see all dance/musical movies regardless of critics, or public reviews.Trust me, don't waste your time. Just check out the Prince Mio (Eric) and Stephanie Nguyen (Nina) videos on the internet. I also understand that Stephanie Nguyen was really able to showcase her skills in the films StreetDance 3D and StreetDance 2 which I have yet to see, but hope to.It's as if Beat the World was released 7 years before You Got Served instead of the other way around. I think it's ridiculous that You Got Served was released in 2004 and Beat the World was released in 2011 but sucks sooo bad.

This has to be one of the most shameful movies i've ever seen...they should have called this movie lame!..lame dancing, lame acting, lame storyline...Everything about it was so lame....I would be very ashamed to have been involved in this movie and would request my name removed from the Credit if I was...Big waste of time...And OMG that final 1 on 1 battle at the end was so LAME...Tyrone Brown's routine looked like a white man from Texas attempting to freestyle...very shameful...And his one flip I was OMG that was so LAME...Haha this movie goes down as the worst movie I've ever seen!...The Brazil team sucked bad.I really hope the Director and Producer do not release any more movies for good of mankind. The only thing positive out of the movie was the Brit guy who did mad flips everywhere...And the locking crew was OK...

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.
