The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Somebody are jumping somewhere,climbing trees and all kind of things, running somewhere,escaping from somebody,rubbing somewhere,helping somebody and something like that.If you saw something like what ı tell you can be sure it's Yamakasi.The film of young men who want to just enjoy.when ı was at primary school a lot of friends of mine were talking about this film every school day.We were playing Yamakasi like the little child who has got medical problems about his heart.And those days were really good for us.So Yamakasi was a legend for me and my friends.Frenchs can make good films.And this is a good exaple.Everybody should watch this film.

A movie that gets more rating mainly because of the spectacular athletic performance of the stunt-men and actors as well and less for the story.anyway..a great way to spend your day watching a movie like this...i always liked stories with multiple characters and developments and i must say that this is one of the best for me. i haven't seen yet part two..i will soon but won't raise my expectations so i won't feel bad after. a great similarity to another french movie Banieue 13 made me want to see this movie and i'm glad i did. PS: Don't try it at home...and i don't mean just kids :)Well deserved 9 stars for showing us there's no boundary when u want ! Enjoy !

I loved Yamakasi. The adventure was almost non-stop. I wish they would have sent it to theaters in the U.S. It would have been cool to see it on the big screen. I wonder if they could make an American version of it or something. That would be cool. Scaling buildings and saving lives. That's some movie. Anyway...here's a short summary of the film...The Yamakasi are a group of city jumpers in France that happen to get into a pickle when a young boy with a heart condition tries to mimic them. The family of the boy cannot afford the heart transplant and the Yamakasi are forced to take the situation into their own hands.Sorry, I don't want to spoil the film for you. It's enough to make you want to see it isn't it? Well, I hope you enjoy Yamakasi as much as I did. Thanks for reading my review.

The action was fun to see, the stunts were interesting, especially after reading that they were supposed to be real... but it's a movie not really made for thinking people, since there are terrible flaws in the plot that renders the whole process ridiculous and casts a shadow on the hero's self righteous deeds.Why is everyone (audience included) expected to blame the doctor for the price of the new heart! The movie attempts to show it as his fault! Or the fault of his social class! That's rediculous. He is simply stating the market price of the donor heart. It's probably being sold on the black market anyway, since I believe there are laws against such organ trading. It's then up to those RESPONSIBLE (and involved) to come up with the cash, if they want the transaction to go through. He does not make up this price, he is simply stating how much the people have to pay. - Think about it. What would happen if every doctor was made (forced / coerced) to pay the bill for patients requiring treatment? The price he quotes is the price that must be payed by those RESPONSIBLE for the boy's condition. Among those responsible were the terrible building climbing role models the boy was imitating in the first place. Which is why they got involved, right?Also, all this intimidation and threats made to others is very much against the, apparently very superficial, chivalrous code that these climbers are supposed to embrace. They are made to appear hypocrites and their eventual deeds lower them below the status of the lower class, to the status of thieves, extortionists, and criminals. Which, I believe the film was not intended to do. What great role models they became to save the boy! Do they still want him to grow up to be just like them? Apparently.Still there were some good suspense parts, like when they were stuck in the house and had to escape from the roof. One was left wondering how they were going to pull that off. Hopefully they didn't give too many burglars ideas. We don't need any more of that, thanks.Similar movies include: Robin Hood and the Pink Panther, although these are both much more heroic thieves than the Yamakasi. Perhaps Kamakasi would have been a better name, given the film's great number of negative reviews.
