MYST Post #4: 22 Jump Street

22 Jump Street is the sequel to the film 21 Jump Street, and I enjoyed it as much, if not more, than the first film. I found the film to have a very unpredictable plot, and since it is a comedy, these vast changes make it work. Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum played the main characters, and this acting duo was very amusing to watch, since they are pretty much complete opposites of each other. In the film, Hill is a quieter character, while Tatum is more of an extrovert.

This film used a large variety of special effects, and they were very well used. In many films special effects can make or break the movie and it made this movie. Some of these effects were used in scenes with a crashing helicopter, cars drifting, gun fights, etc. However, even with the large amount of special effects portrayed in the film it was not excessive. The special effects were only used in scenes with a lot of action and were necessary for the film to be successful.

The plot of this film is almost identical to that of the original film; Hill and Tatum play two college students, who are really cops going undercover to solve a drug outbreak. However, even though the plot is very similar to the first, since they reference and mock the original so frequently, it makes the film just as good if not better than the first. Furthermore, this plot differs from the first; in a sense that it does not repeat the same plot twists as the original. I enjoyed this movie very much and thought it was absolutely hilarious, therefore I recommend it to everyone. I rate this film a 4/5 stars. Here's the Trailer.
