Demi Levato like in the first is a breath of fresh air, both as a singer and an actress she shows a lot of promise. Maybe not as memorable or as toe-tapping as the first in the first, but the melodies were pretty groovy and the lyrics decent and easy to sing along to. Camp Rock 2 does look good, with nice photography and lovely fashions and scenery. Camp Rock 2 was reasonably good I felt, but I think the first was superior. Reviewed by TheLittleSongbird Vote: 6/10 Although it wasn't a perfect movie by any stretch of the imagination, I did like the first Camp Rock. Do I take this stuff too seriously? Undoubtedly I do, but put that down to the genius of the songwriters and the likable performers Disney has under their wing. The bittersweet 'This Is Our Song,' sung as the campers gather around a fire and uncertain of the fate of a place they've grown to love, turns defeat into victory by the sheer joy of singing in unison, of harmonizing with people you've bonded with. The Camp Star numbers are all Vegas and Cirque glitz, and newcomer Mdot Finley owns the stage like an R&B Bono. In contrast, 'It's On' bounces with youthful energy, although I admit to being puzzled when putting the captions on ('let me see how you bob' will haunt me for months to come). The background dancer's moves are somewhere between martial arts and sign language, and are executed with chilling precision. When Demi Lovato sings 'Can't Back Down,' there's a certain gravity and toughness to the performance, and the song rocks like a boxing training montage. The songs are catchy, but there's real emotion behind the writing and execution, more than there needed to be, and certainly more than the air-headed High School Musical films.
