A series that follows two brazillian boys and looks at some of the antics that they get up to in order to survive the harsh environment of the slum life.
Kind of boring... What a real let down. City of God is one of my favourite films was excited to see the follow up, what went wrong?
Even though this film is not as good as City of God, it is still a great film. Another interesting story and two great lead characters. Definitely check this film out.
Like City of God, the camera work, film editing, story, pacing and acting were all tops but this time, it`s a less wholistic view of the situation and more a look at the specific emotions of two boys who are turning 18 while living in the same crime-ridden turf war scene.

City of God was way better. Good plot and nice acting, but not too many action.

You don't need to say much about this. The impact speaks for itself.
not a follow up to city of god, but set in the same world and same type charactors. a interesting story as we follow 2 lads and there involvment with rival gangs, like city of god, the place depicted looks a terrible place,which comes across well
Beautiful cinematography , magnificent soundtrack, sharp, intelligent dialogues are but a few of the words that I could use to aptly describe this movie.
Heartbreaking and breathtaking in it's blunt depiction of reality and of the troubles of how troubled many teenagers are in that part of the world and how the corruption of the people around them have only hurt their normal nature.
an average movie under the shadow of city of gods shadow. otherwise a notch better
this is one of the most spectacular black man show on earth,exposing the life of a black man in the slum so real
m not all for that violence. I kno twas essential for the movie n its protrayal was quite livid, with u kno, hw people cn easily be caught in between others wars, ts a shame.
S'il n'a rien d'un city of god, il n'essait pas d'en être un aussi. Beaucoup moins général, plus particulier, aidé du style de montage, de rythme et de réalisation que Meirelles a entrepris, le film marche et se savoure tel une magnifique chronique de deux meilleurs amis à traver...( read more)
To be honest I was let down with this, after the harrowing, depressing kill fest of the original this is actually pretty tame. Not much killing and not much action either, there's alot of talk and plot layout which is fine but you do find your mind starting to wander haha

City of God was great and I liked the look at Brazilian youth so I would not mind watching this series. Infact I have seen a few episodes.
This is a very good movie. The story is pretty good and the twists although are predictable are pretty good. And I can't complain, there sure are good looking Brazilian men.
A good tale of friendship and solidairty amidst local chaos. Although this second incarnation can't touch City of God.
Episodic collection of tales which offer a fascinating further insight into favela life in the vain of 'City of God'. Runs out of original plots in the later episodes but there are some clever gems.
Definitely not as good as City of God, the plot is contrived in several key places and the characters seem shallow, not 90210 shallow, but not fully developed by the writer shallow.
Outdoes its predecessor CITY OF GOD by replacing the protagonist's morally detached perspective with poignant emotional content, more memorable characters, and deeper insight into the human experience.
Ace: Now there are just the two of us.
Following the success of the brilliant film, City of God, a spinoff TV show was created in Brazil, which ran for four seasons. This film follows the same main characters from the show to give audiences a new story set in the modern day Rio ...( read more)
bastante entretenida, una vision cruda a lo que ya sabemos de brasil, te engancha rapido ... pero es dificil no compararla con city of god ... y pues nada que ver, city of god es una joya comparado con esto
Movie was pretty good, the tv series was just better...not a sequel to City Of God, only thing they have in common is some of the actors and the City Of.... title, other than that, there are not direct connection.
Acerola: [he and Laranjinha are holding Clayton's hand] "Clayton, don't worry 'cause I'm gonna teach you all I know. Let's cross.
Laranjinha: Okay.
Acerola: Clayton, before you cross the street, you have to look both ways. First this way, then that way. Let's go....( read more)
The same subject of the (GREAT) film City of God. Now more focused on two characters that want to stay away from the gang wars but are caught in the midle. Well done movie and keeps us interested from the first to the last minute.
This would have been ok, but I was not in the mood to be reading subtitles.
Big fan if this movie. Not as good as City of God, but defently an awesome movie thats worth checking out.
not as compelling or authentic as city of god but still well made and affecting all the same.
City of God was a masterpiece; City of Men not so much.
That is not to say it's not good but it pales in comparison to its predecessor - both visually and narratively...
The film is plagued by numerous flashbacks to the main characters' adolescence and the hurdles they face...( read more)
