Do some magic.
Be smug.
Tease a twist.
Be smug.
Have a reveal.
Be smug.
Celebrate and reveal your impossibly coincidental ruse to an overenthusiastic audience.
Continue being smug.
Rinse.
Repeat.
Legendary magician David Copperfield (who, incidentally, is a producer on “Now You See Me 2”) used to end his shows by literally flying off the stage — he would put his hands on his hips, puff his chest like Superman and lift up into the rafters. This incredible exit left such an impression because it got to the heart of what magic is all about: A great trick doesn’t work by blindsiding the audience with an act of God. On the contrary, it works by defining the distance between the perceived and the impossible. David Copperfield may have been able to seduce supermodel Claudia Schiffer on his way to amassing a fortune that borders on the billions, but the man…
Remember that scene in The Dark Knight when the Joker says "how about a magic trick?" and then slams a dude's face down on a pencil?
Watching this movie is like being that dude.
I can't help but feel like they missed an incredible opportunity for a really great title for their sequel. Instead of the bland stereotypical Now You See Me 2, they really should have titled it Now You Don't. Maybe they could have even added the title of the first movie at the beginning to make the connection more obvious for people who don't like to research, but even then, Now You See Me: Now You Don't might have been a bit of a stretch for a sequel title. Really though, was this a film that ever really needed a sequel? Or did anyone really ask for one? I remember seeing the first film not long after it came out, but…
Everybody dunked on this movie for not being called “Now You Don’t” but that’s a shortsighted dunk. How were they supposed to make a third one if they’d already gone and completed the phrase? No, the real mistake here was not calling this “Now 2 See Me.” And then the third one could be called “Now You 3 Me.” You would’ve realized this if you’d stopped to think every once in a while. You fool.
me going into the movie: haha this is gonna be terrible who did they even make this movie for
me walking out of the movie: me. they made it for me
Honestly, I liked Lula more than Henley. And not just because her voice doesn't grate my eardrums,
Dylan Rhodes will always be my fave tho.
Film had potential, tried to revive some of the gigs from the first movie. However, whenever Daniel Radcliffe came on screen, the movie seemed to lose its pace and his awful performance withdrew my engagement with the picture.
Not as good as the first, but the scene with them trading the card between them was amazing
