The first film was a brilliant British dance movie that celebrated the talent the country can offer, especially from those performers made famous in Britain's Got Talent, and I was certainly intrigued to see if a sequel could be just as much fun and entertaining. Basically street dancers Ash (Falk Hentschel) and his friend and manager Eddie (George Sampson) have recently been defeated in a big street dance battle by one of their big rivals, and they want to make up for this and win the trophy at the big European street dance competition in Paris, France. It is after they gather some of the best skilled street dancers from around Europe that Ash and Eddie, managing to get everyone they ask, including Steph (Stephanie 'Lil Steph' Nguyen), Junior (Akai Osei-Mansfield), Legend (Niek Traa) and Skorpion (Brice Larrieu), they think they need one more thing to make their routine different and innovative. That is when they meet Latin salsa dancer Eva (Sofia Boutella) who has an exuberance in the ring and on the dance floor, Ash is sure that her passion, the flair and excitement brought by the Latin rhythm, and the mix of the two cultures together can create a great routine to blow everyone away, and he also grows feelings for her. After so much practise, ideas for what to include, and a little help from Eva's uncle Manu (Shirley Valentine's Tom Conti), the team are ready to battle against their main rival in a head to head battle, the rivals allowing them to try and beat them despite having the trophy, and in the end the mix of Latin and street dance wins over the judges. Also starring Ali 'Lilou' Ramdani as Ali Delphine 'Deydey' Nguyen as Yo Yo and Flawless as The Surge Crew. It is a shame that Diversity do not appear again in this sequel, but Sampson returns and gets more time on screen, Flawless do appear don't I don't think were on long enough, and the new addition of Boutella to the gang is most welcome. The cool and concise choreography with great routines are still what you watch it for, I will confess that I didn't feel as thrilled with the story and overall feel of the film compared to the predecessor, and again you forget it was a 3D film, but it is certainly a dance drama to be seen. Songs featured in the film include Queen's "We Will Rock You (LP & JC remix)", Jessie J's "Domino", Dappy's "Rockstar", "Superbass" by Nicki Minaj, "Mama Do the Hump" by Rizzle Kicks, "The Motto" by Drake feat. Lil Wayne, Taio Cruz's "Troublemaker", "Bright Lights" by Tinchy Stryder feat. Pixie Lott, "Unorthodox" by Wretch 32 feat. Example and "Bass Down Low (Static Revenger Remix)" by Dev. Very good!
