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…
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
This movie is so broken, Daniel Radcliffe is in it and he doesn't do ANY magic.
Also, I'm pretty sure that awful climax in London was the real cause of Brexit.
Sequels are known to be quite underwhelming and anti climactic. However this film exceeded my expectations and really smashed the first film away. A few new additions to the cast with more ambitious camera trickery. Some really great scenes throughout and a very satisfying ending. I truly hope for at least one more film to wrap up this series. An enjoyable watch. Highly recommend.
amazing movie, all the tricks and flicks with the card are sick
and the cinematography is pretty cool
The performances are mostly great, but the film itself has so many twists and half-reveals that don't pay off.
Definitely not what I had expected it to be. Like not at all.
Still a pretty watchable movie.
Its surface is as much fun as any movie ever made. Its depths surpass understanding. I have analyzed it a shot at a time with more than 30 groups, and together we have seen, I believe, pretty much everything that is there on the screen. The more clearly I can see its physical manifestation, the more I am stirred by its mystery.
‘Now You See Me 2’ accomplishes that which only a truly great film can: enveloping the viewer in the story, forging an unbreakable link with the characters, and only letting go with the end credits.
