Perhaps the greatest trick the Now You See Me franchise ever pulled was roping in so many acclaimed actors to prance around doing magic tricks and repeatedly saying things like "seeing is believing" without even the slightest of giggles.December 31, 2016
It's fun to watch that great cast, even if they all have done and deserve to do better.June 10, 2016
Based solely on merit, Now You See Me 2 is a sequel that should never have been made.November 15, 2016
It's a bunch of hocus-pocus.June 10, 2016
The film is mainly horseplay, wasted motion, and talk, talk, talk, with a few good action scenes ...June 13, 2016
The movie offers neither the astonishment of the magicians' artistry nor a dramatic view of how they do it.June 10, 2016
Just as cheerfully outlandish as the caper flick's precursor, with the acceptance of fancy tricks and misdirection twists dependent on an audience's love of a good hoodwink.June 10, 2016
And of course, there's no danger of mistaking computer-enhanced trickery for actual sleight of hand, so even the modest but honest pleasure provided by quality card work is compromised.January 03, 2017
Overall, Jon M. Chu's film has enough flash and razzmatazz to keep the audience passingly entertained but little to offer in terms of an engaging story - or indeed, one that just makes sense.June 21, 2016
But very little about this hollow sequel to 2013's heist thriller Now You See Me feels mysterious; its biggest set-pieces will make viewers ask not "Whoa, how'd they do that?" but "Wait, huh?"December 26, 2016
Full of delicious twists, tricks and double-takes the film, directed with all due flash and dazzle by action man Jon M Chu (GI Joe: Retaliation), is a joy ride full of ideas and magic-world intrigue.
