Surprisingly incoherent and boring
Softwing
Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

I'm supposed to write here a minimum of 5 lines, whereas my summary "Pointless..." says it all already. I haven't seen the first movie from 2012 and came accidentally across MM XXL. Even though some reviewers here say the first one was better... well... I guess I'll simply skip it. I gave in to watch this one because my wife wanted to watch it. However, in the end even she thought it was BS.

What I hoped to be an improvement over the first is a buddy trip without the fun or misadventures you'd expect. Adam, Brooke and Dallas are all gone by contrived or convenient circumstances since the actors refused another bomb shell. Once again the script felt lacking as the situation is more outrages then the first with all the strippers wanting one more show before they retire, Mike finding yet another love interest to woo, the dares the guys put each other through to prove they still have it in them to perform and having a rival from Mike's past never mentioned before.Channing promised this time around they wouldn't skip around getting the guys in the buff but this time even jockstrap and cheek shots are missing leaving only shirtless "Strippers" boring and bland. Once you seen abs you've seen them all and gets old quickly. The only nice thing I have to say is the dance routines and music were excellent. Yet the bad lighting made it hard to see in some shots almost rendering it a complete dud. Magic Mike wanted to go out with a big bang surpassing the original and yet it was a step down further in quality.I don't know if it was my tastes or the bad directions these movies are taking, but they just don't work in my opinion. Stick to the jump street series Tatum.

The first Magic Mike I watched in our movie room with my girlfriends. I think we all were completely in awe and more than turned on with the first movie. It was more than hot, exciting and definitely what us women wanted and have been waiting for all this time. There was an actual plot in this movie unlike what we assumed there would be none. I really enjoyed the movie, the men, the plot and movie was great. Now this movie have completely lost everything. I actually tried watching it several times, the first and second time I really fell asleep which should absolutely never happen with Magic Mike. Basically the last ten minutes is the only time you see Magic Mike or Channing dancing and taking it off. Hello isn't that why we are watching this movie? Ya not impressed.

Magic Mike XXL doesn't have an enticing storyline and I couldn't care less. It is all about female pleasure and friendship of the modern man. It is about supporting each other in times of need and cheering each other on, it's about finding your true self, it's about fighting and being friends again, it's about being comfortable with closeness and being open with emotions, it's about having sex and being friends, it's about finding the right one, it's about empowering women and their desires, it's about women of all skin colors, sizes and ages, it's about having a good time.I went to see the first movie with no expectations and really liked it, especially that it had some darker themes. The sequel is very different and much more of a "feel-good movie" and I don't just like it, I love it. When I went to see this movie, no one left the theater disappointed. Channing Tatum saw the trend that women do want sex and devour media even if it's trash (50 shades obviously), because there's nothing else out there. He gave us a movie that celebrates women, and men who are open-minded and supportive. Magic Mike XXL is very much a product of its time in the best possible way. If this is what it feels like to get channinged all over my tatum, I gladly want more.
