Review of Now You See Me 2 (2016) by Danburrito — 05 Jul 2016
As with the original, Now You See Me 2 makes up for its lack of substance with charismatic stars and an intriguing plot. The cast were as good as ever, with Mark Ruffalo, Jesse Eisenberg and Morgan Freeman in particular, adding to their characters and making them more interesting.
Isla Fisher's character was missed, but her replacement was energetic enough to fill the void. There were plenty of plot twists (some clever, some a bit far-fetched) to keep your interest throughout. There was a good balence between humour and thrills as well.
Bottom Line: if you enjoyed the first one, you'll probably enjoy this. If not, you probably won't think much of it. Hopefully, this does well enough to justify a third instalment in the trilogy.
