Now You See Me 2
SCORE: 64
We had a good time with the special effects and magical nature of Now You See Me. So much so that we have been very excited to see and review Now You See Me 2. Family Friendly Gaming recently purchased the DVD + Digital version of Now You See Me 2. Almost all of the players are back from the first movie. We get a new female character. It is not explained. The old one was way better. The new one has this morbid fascination with pretending to show herself hurt.
The language in Now You See Me 2 is horrible. I am not sure why there is so much bad language, and so many middle fingers. It distracts from an otherwise interesting movie. There is also violence, and blood in Now You See Me 2. One character at a specific scene in Now You See Me 2 compares himself to God. He brags that he can do things God can’t. That is offensive and out of touch with reality on so many levels.
The coolest thing about Now You See Me 2 is forgiveness is shown. We don’t know all of the characters as we think we do. There are so many different characters deceiving other characters. I wish there were more magic tricks in Now You See Me 2. There is also less of a reason to rewatch Now You See Me 2. Most of the tricks are explained right after they are done. Instead of explaining all of them at the end. There are tricks that are not explained at all in Now You See Me 2 though.
I liked the first movie better than this sequel. There are wow moments in Now You See Me 2. There is less theft in Now You See Me 2. How they get that chip out of its secure area is interesting. Now You See Me 2 leans heavily on quick hypnosis. I hated Woody Harrelson playing two roles in Now You See Me 2.
If you liked the first movie then you will find things to like in the second. It is not as good as the first though.
