Review of Now You See Me 2 (2016) by Moviemitch96 — 18 Jun 2016
On the contrary to what many of the critics thought of the first film, I found it to be really underrated and enjoyed it for its unique and fun premise. However, I'd have to somewhat agree with them on this one.
This sequel really brings nothing new to the table and became more and more predictable as it progressed. The story I found to be kind of lazy and in addition, unfortunately the original cast (Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, Michael Caine, and Morgan Freeman), as well as new additions (Daniel Radcliffe and Lizzy Caplan) couldn't do much to save it.
Overall, just like with the first film, this one has its fair share of fun and clever moments, but the weak and uninspired story and overall predictability held back its potential.
