I feel like vacant, soulless movies such as Now You See Me 2 just come out every year so a bunch of talented white actors (and the ever-amazing Morgan Freeman, bless him) can have an excuse to line their pockets a bit with an easy acting gig while globe trotting. It's one of those movies where I'm sure they had more fun making it than we had watching it. See Also: Mamma Mia!, The Tourist, Sex and the City 1 and 2, etc.

Gets the friendly bounce to green-spectrum based on my thinking that it wasn't boring. I enjoyed myself. I can't say that I CARED about what was going on or that I felt the slightest dread for any of these characters, but, the tricks were fun and the cat-and-mouse game didn't wear me down, no matter how convoluted it got. Could have done without the phony romance. Ruffalo, Caine, Harrelson & Freeman are all treasures; the "old vets" leading the kids along. Hah, Harry Potter. Brilliant casting.

Plot twists, revelations & double crosses galore until it all becomes a big convoluted mess. The actors do look like they're having fun. None more so than Harrelson who inexplicably has a twin brother in this, which starts off as weird and never stops being weird. Caplan & Radcliffe are good additions. Occasionally dynamic-looking, some okay humour, and they put effort into it, but I came away with nothing despite having my senses assaulted. The ending was straight-up terrible.

You should know what you're getting with Now You See Me 2. A couple of fun magic tricks, a preposterous and pretty silly plot, characters who don't really matter, a couple of laughs, and a heist that requires so much convolution to happen that you begin to wonder if there was an easier way. It's never dull, but it's not as fun as one might hope - and you're going to begin forgetting it on the drive home from the theater.

Now You See Me 2 is very on par with its first. It's not as absurd with its approach, and it is interesting to see the Horsemen kind of get caught. The movie also seems a little bit more self aware, and there are a couple moments that are kinda cheesy, which I always felt it should aim for. At the same time, it still lacks in telling a solid story. The script really bogs this, as there were quite a few scenes that felt thrown in there to make its run time. Again, not impressed.

Even though the reveals of the needlessly complex magic tricks are still fun, much of the novelty has worn off and the twists this time are lackluster. At least the actors seem to be enjoying themselves: Lizzy Caplan is a fantastic addition, and Woody Harrelson's dual role(!) is an unexpected treat.

Now You See Me 2 is the Oceans 12 of Now You See Me... Cool characters, and totally unnecessary scenes, plot lines that repeat themselves inside the film! Every single person in the whole production is avenging a father. Every single person has been double crossed by a partner. Sometimes twice. What's worse is the leads were such pawns in this game of chess that the characters we loved are no longer respectable they are such stooges.

If I ran Hollywood, the FAST & FURIOUS franchise woulda been put to bed years ago and I'd be prepping to shoot NOW YOU SEE ME 3 & 4 back-to-back right about now. The first one drove you crazy with the dumb plot twists but made for great weekend HBO find-something-on-TV-and-leave-it viewing. This one strives for that kind of disposability right off the bat, so it's aces all the way. Also somebody needs to make a 10-hour YouTube video of Lizzy Caplan saying "South African gangstas!"

At one point Harry Potter makes a joke about how he dabbled with magic as a teenager. That's this film in a nutshell: a smart, nerdy, enthusiastic kid trying to impress you with his latest trick. But it stops before becoming tedious. The middle section has a great PG-13 heist piece--probably better than anything in the Ocean's 11 films. Still, I wish the script would've stopped with the late twists & instead continued the anti-establishment tone of the first flick. Marginal recommendation.

Whyyyeye must there be a second twist at the end again? It's not a good thing if it's unfounded and ruins all the fun that came before and NO ONE CARES ABOUT THE EYE THING. The first twist with the plane also isn't great cuz you know it's coming and they explain it to death. Also, is it just me or does Mark Ruffalo's character NOT look like a Dylan? Lots of specific complaints here cuz it's just more of the same, though that goes for the good stuff too (that card-throwing heist was pretty cool).

It was better than the original in terms of plot twists and unexpectedness, but that was all this movie had. It was just plot twist after plot twist with no substance. Also the hypnotist thing breaks all the attempts they make at convincing you that the stuff done in the movie is realistic. Decent popcorn flick.

It's not terrible and I actually enjoyed the non-sensical fun for what it was but as a sequel it doesn't do much more to add to the original. Suffers from losing existing and introducing new characters without much reason and the plot felt a little lazy. Good to see Daniel Radcliffe play something different but a few card tricks ain't gonna cut it.

Unexpectedly delightful sequel handily bests the original by fully embracing the silly absurdity of its premise, and letting its cast run riot (shades of Soderbergh's OCEANS TWELVE). Radcliffe's casting as the shadowy and sinister rival magician/wizard is good for a chuckle, and Caine and Freeman add a special spark and chemistry in the scenes they share. Great art it ain't, but as an old fashioned, cast driven vehicle, it comes up spades.

The first one had the suspension of disbelief to counter the bad twists, the corniness, and the senseless stuff, but the sequel smashes that suspension entirely. They just try too hard, sorry for everyone involved, but they just spend the whole thing throwing glitter at your eyes, thinking it is going to distract from the weaknesses. Just the twin brother character is a perfect example of how dumb it gets.

The story takes place exactly one year later after "Now You See Me". 'The Four Horsemen' are very successful, after they outsmarted the FBI in a spectacular way and gained a lot of public sympathy as a result. However, they now face a new enemy, challenging them to commit their most dangerous heist ever.

There's two themes I do not prefer in the movies, movie inside the movie and magic, since movies are magic. It's kind of double cheating. Okay, there was some scenes okay and I do like tricky stories but still this celebration of card tricks did not spark me. It was nice to see Lizzy Caplan though. I haven't followed her movie carrier as much as TV. She was a good pair for Michael Sheen.

These movies kinda just set it up like they really know magic with elaborate things, such as insane hypnotism or the fact that they handle cards like a prime Gambit, and then it strikes a weird balance by explaining that it's not real magic... just illusion. It's weird sometimes, a little off-putting, but I enjoy the movies because the cast is fun, I have a thing for magicians (not sexually, don't be a perv), and it's just pure entertainment. Not great movies but I dig 'em.

The Four Horsemen are back... sort-of. I really missed Isla Fisher in this movie. Don't get me wrong, I think Lizzy Caplan is stunning and a good actress... but she's no fiery redhead. Let's start off with the bad. I hate Jesse Eisenberg and Mark Ruffalo. I don't think they ever add to movies, they just take away. Eisenberg will never be cool or interesting. He just needs to go away. Ruffalo is just annoying and his personal public life has ruined him for me in movies...

I think it's a lot of fun. Maybe it isn't quite as smart as the first movie felt, but it's still got all of the style and chemistry between the leads, and still has some nice twists that make the story enjoyable. I really liked the addition of Lizzy Caplan to the team, although I would love it if they could get Isla Fisher back for the third as well.

The first film was fun and energetic, and so is this one...to a lesser extent. They try to up the stakes, which is frivolous in such a movie. The beginning is cluncky, though Caplan proves herself as a fun addition (/replacement for Fisher). The film is high paced, to the point of feeling rushed, though it still having plenty of exposition that should have been cut. Harrelson's twin character feels like it wondered in from Zoolander. Mediocre direction leads to a mediocre, but watchable sequel.

Not quite a cash grab sequel but a clearly inferior product none the less. Having shown what was up it's sleeves previously, the audience is more aware of what to expect and are tougher to impress. NYSM2 passes as light entertainment and I enjoyed Harrelson performance and the casting of Daniel Radcliffe, but try as they may they didn't manage to pull a rabbit out of the hat with this one.

Tries so very hard to be clever that it keeps adding layers and layers of ridiculous plot that requires more suspension of disbelief than pro wrestling, but if all the twists and turns and ways our heroes solve their problems are by complete impossible bullshit and it's supposedly set in the real world I just have little interest. The characters lack more than 1 dimension and Caplan being used as comic relief didn't work whatsoever.

An unwanted sequel to a film so needlessly convoluted you forgot the plot by the time it was over. Ups the ante in all areas, most of which were bad to begin with. This series is really just someone with an idea of a gang of vigilante magicians (not a bad idea necessarily) doing a very good impression of a shoehorn. A deeply, deeply dumb film whose biggest feat is making the first look good.

Certain things in this movie should have been done better. Some scenes felt like they were just thrown in there at the last moment and I was annoyed by some of the dialog and Woody Harrelson's secondary character. I also didn't like the romance between Caplin and Eisenberg. I will say that I did, however, enjoy myself. The tricks were all pretty cool, and tut movie was pretty entertaining. I always like Mark Ruffalo. If you liked the first, you'll for sure like this one.
