Review of Magic Mike (2012) by A T — 14 May 2013

I'll say that I'm shocked at how dull the film is. The trailers promise this to be some big, flashy production, but it's so dull. I'll admit I was intrigued about how Tatum would have made such a movie, and if he could bring some character depth to the character.

Unfortunately, it didn't pan out that way with Tatum stuttering through his lines. The dance numbers are few and not even that great. Tatum, who wowed me in 21 Jump St, isn't terrible, I mean he's starred in some worse fare, but it's definitely not a performance to rave about.

Mike is weirdly stained yellow throughout, and with its dull characters, the "magic" isn't anything ro rave about.
