THERE ARE SOME SPOILERS IN THIS REVIEW.
Hello readers,
I will be writing a review on Now You See Me 2. I wanted to write this review yesterday, however because of school projects and homework, I can only write the review right now. A sequel to the 2013 film (I wrote a review here), Now You See Me 2 focuses on the downfall of the Four Horsemen and their leader who faced a latest threat who seemed to know everything inside and out.
Following a year later after the first film, Now You See Me 2 offers the audience what they loved from the previous film, especially the Four Horsemen. Unlike the previous film, this time their magic and illusion aren't prepared in advance. They have to raced against time to stop the main antagonist, Watter (played by Daniel Radcliffe) who somehow so desperate to get back his micro-like chip size card for some purposes.
Daniel Radcliffe as the main antagonist was something new and probably the first time I saw him acting as a spoilt child villain. Lizzy Caplan as Lula, taking over Isla Fisher's position in the film was a great joy to watched, probably the funniest in the gang and making the film less miserable. I was kind of disappointed that the magic and illusion in this film wasn't as special as Now You See Me. Throughout the film, I actually got 'lost' in the magic explanations. However, what I like about Now You See Me 2 is the robbery heist where everyone somehow were on point (lol) and the villains were exposed and arrested.
In conclusion, if you are expecting something special like the previous film, don't expect Now You See Me 2 to keep up the 'wow-ness'. Hopefully, the next sequel could do better.
Ratings: 5/10
