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.
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…
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
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…
You've got a problem when the second movie in your franchise is already rolling out the twin brother trope.
Now You See Me 2 is just as good as the first, giving an Ocean’s 11 type heist experience with the style of a Vegas magic show. These films are cool.
Now You See Me 2 is a movie you don’t want to miss.
This franchise is fun, and I will defend it till I die. I loved the first one, and I still really enjoyed this. The cast is absolutely impeccable - their chemistry with each other and their ability to carry a scene is just awesome to watch. Everyone here works so well with each other, from Eisenberg to Harrelson to Franco to newcomer Lizzy Caplan (who by far steals the show). Daniel Radcliffe is so patently absurd that I can't even think about disliking him. The entire plot is completely bonkers, and any seriousness the first film might've implied is completely shed in this one. Regardless, there are some great looking scenes in this film, and again, the cast is just so good that I can barely even consider the fallbacks of such a fun ride.

am i addicted to these movies? yes i am. is the card scene my favourite scene ever? yes it is. do the movie or the card scene make any sense? no they dont. do i care? no i dont.
Also das Wort "Hanebüchen" kommt in meinem Wortschatz eigentlich nicht wirklich vor. Hier trifft es die ganze Nummer aber ganz gut.
Tendenziell noch seelenloser als Teil 1.
Fazit: Hanebüchen!
