While the first one got by on energy and moxie alone, my only complaint was its ending. "Now You See Me 2" is more problematic, however, by being self-indulgently overstuffed to the point it becomes convoluted, preposterous, and inevitably delivering less when it clearly promises more.

I wish they titled it "Now You Don't". That would have been such a better title. NOW YOU SEE ME 2 is not as fresh and interesting as the first one was but it's still entertaining. Like the first movie, this is thanks to the cast and its sense of fun. Isla Fisher is missed but honestly Lizzy Caplan earns her keep as the new girl on the team. Daniel Radcliffe is a lot of fun as the bad guy.

Doesn't have as much magic as the first film, but is still a solid crowd-pleaser with a still-excellent cast. Lizzy Caplan is a more deadpan comedian than Isla Fisher and the addition of Daniel Radcliffe, while against type, is still a lot of fun. Watch it for the card-chip sequence and the final act (complete with plenty of twists). It's brief entertainment at best, but if you liked the first one, this second act is worth watching.

Now You See Me 2 is like a circus act. Yeah it's impressive and effort is clearly shown, but it's nothing that's going to stick with you after it's over. That's what this movie was like. It's decent at best with a few cool tricks and a solid cast. But I'm not going to remember this in a few weeks time. Oh and Daniel Radcliffe as the villain was very miscast. Coming to think of it, I can't remember what the first one was about.
