Leave your thoughts about Now You See Me 2.
| Fort Worth WeeklyKristian M. LinThankfully, the sequel pulls a nice surprise of its own: being a vast improvement on the original. |
| Boston HeraldStephen SchaeferThere's little reason here for further misadventures. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderNow that the premise has been botched twice, let's cut our losses and forget about it. |
| Baret NewsKam WilliamsThe ever-escalating, magical feats make great fodder for an eye-popping blockbuster, even if what's served up on screen is purely a product of cartoon physics. |
| indieWireDavid EhrlichWe used to watch movies and wonder “How did they do that?” The problem with Now You See Me 2 isn’t that we already know the answer, it’s that we’re not even inspired to ask the question. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattJon M. Chu (several Step Up movies) has taken over directing duties from Louis Leterrier, and he has a lighter, goofier touch. He seems to get that the silliness is baked in. |
| Spliced PersonalitySean BurnsThe Horsemen, The Eye - a lot of the names here feel like placeholders nobody got around to filling in later. |
| Family Home TheaterJames PlathA solid sequel that's as glitzy and stylish as the first--even though it may be a little harder to figure out. |
| Bowling Green Daily NewsMicheal ComptonIt all feels more like a rehash of that first film. You can almost see a checklist of all the stuff that worked in the first film trying to be duplicated, but it just doesn't have the same freshness the second time. |
| Sunday Independent (Ireland)Hilary A WhiteChu's real coup here is that this follow-up to the 2013 hit is a better film, shorn as it is of the tiresome CGI and limp final twist that marred its predecessor. |
