In July 2012, Channing Tatum confirmed that a Magic Mike sequel is in the works. To be completely honest, I was a bit disappointed with the movie.. the stripping scenes were entertaining for a while, but as the movie progressed the novelty wore off FAST. The handsome lead actors weren't enough to keep me interested. The film's lack of character depth, weird (for lack of a better word) cinematography, and at times bizarre plot, left me feeling a bit underwhelmed. Most of the scenes of the film that took place outside of the main strip club were used to add to the actual story line, but I felt they fell flat and most were mostly unnecessary and pointless. Considering most who went to see the movie were excitedly looking forward to a light comedy with some great sex appeal, I think I speak for most who watched the film, when I say: It wasn't the movie I expected at all. The film itself falls somewhere between a semi-funny comedy, and a drama about a struggling drug addict; I don't think it knew just what kind of genre it was supposed to fall under. If a movie doesn't understand its purpose, how can the audience be expected to? This brings me to my point: Is a sequel even necessary? Personally, I won't pay another twelve dollars to watch the sequel, and I'm sure a lot of other women feel the same way.
What are your thoughts?
