4 Reasons Magic Mike XXL Is Better Than Magic Mike

Even though Channing Tatum insisted he'd never top "Pony," his big solo in the first movie, I have to disagree with him. While there felt like more group dances in the original film, Magic Mike XXL is more about the solos (or the duos, if we're talking about Tatum and tWitch's final dance). And each one is special: Mike reprises "Pony" in a more creative way, Ken incorporates singing into stripping, BDR takes "Marry You" to "Closer" in a scorching-hot routine, and the aforementioned "Mirror Dance" is the movie's crown jewel. (Not to mention that impromptu drag show!) There could have been more dancing, but the dancing we get is quality.
