It sounds incredibly weird if you say it that way, but looking at these performances seems like this is an art that we didn't see coming. And it is done elegantly, proving that stripping apparently has more to offer than just lust for flesh. The story may not be as meaty as its predecessor's, but it shows everything what its audiences actually wanted for it. Many may call Magic Mike XXL a totally needless sequel or a cash grab for those who seek for more endless dose of shirtless men, but I believe this movie actually exists to make up for its own value. The other performers also get their characters expanded, staying natural whenever they bond and fight off on screen, treating them beyond than typical eye candy compared to the first one. Star, Channing Tatum, still has the charm as he always has. The new style is sometimes indefinite, specifically the vague lighting in some scenes, but then, the movie eventually breaks the pretense once the characters start dancing on screen, having more focus on their moves, and of course, bodies. The direction does try to keep Soderbergh's style going in this sequel, though only eschewing the intense sepia and welcoming other colors on the daylight. People would immediately think that this would only appeal female viewers, but even as a straight man as I am, I would actually be impressed by the choreography displayed on those scenes. The difference however is the stripping is the real showcase, as in the direction and choreography improves within that aspect which makes these performances speak what this movie is truly about. We just see these characters trying to get along, hint some commentary, and do some stripping. Just like the first one, it's all atmosphere than following a plot. But really, that's what the target audience really came here for. The story isn't quite remarkable it's so simple that it's nothing more than an excuse to show more of these acts, which is both a good thing and otherwise. While the first movie basically shows the art of its aesthetics, this sequel rather shows the art of stripping.

Magic Mike XXL indeed brings much of what you expect from it. It still has the stunning style of the first one, though it mostly feels quite forced, but if the movie tries to be itself, then there it actually shines. It's more choreography driven than some commentary, which actually made it more appropriate to this material.

This latest installment showcases more of the crew and how they put up the show. Sure, it features a lot of it, but the real center of the movie was the lifestyle of its main character, Mike. 2012's Magic Mike wasn't exactly about the stripping.
