Review of Now You See Me 2 (2016) by Ioana ? — 23 Mar 2017
The one true problem with this sequel to 2013's heist extravaganza Now You See Me is the plot. Unlike its predecessor, Now You See Me 2 lacks a captivating storyline and underperforms when it comes to the big reveal.
Replacing Isla Fischer's charismatic character with an annoying and disagreeable character like Lula was a terrible mistake that lead to an unnecessary romantic subplot between two of the Horsemen.
The antagonist in this movie, portrayed by Daniel Radcliffe, was rather likable but his role could've been way better than a foreseeable motive and dad's little henchman. There were a few cool moments that were truly entertaining but as soon as the film is over, there's hardly anything to remember.
