If I could have given zero stars I would have. I'm glad I used a free rental from Redbox to watch it because I would have wanted my money back. I expected a lot better. Some of the Actors or should I say dancers are really great in there personal video's, on YouTube, in other movies. I had high expectations. But what I got was half @$$ dancing. Bad dialog, and a plot that has been done way too many times. If you though some of the dancers were good or you felt like they were not allowed to show there full potential, then look up some of the names in a video search engine and watch how good they really are. Example Christian " Prince Mio" Loclair , Chase Armitage and his crew 3RUN, or maybe Kristy Flores. Skip the movie watch You Tube.
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.
have you ever seen a van damme movie ?you Know when he train hard for some competition ? and then he travel to some Asian country ? and he meets some arch enemy ?you do ?then Imagine van damme but instead of the karate it is hip hop so how do i begin ?the recluses acting?or the silly story ?i mean i cant stop laughing about that seen when one of the character actually tell you the the next haft hour is a Foregone conclusion he literally spoil most of the movie for you ? and that's my friend is how bad this movie is .the only thing that is good about this movie is the dancing.
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!
