Now You See Me 2 Review: Critics hate, but I...

in #movies5 years ago


I watched Now You See Me 2 at a movie theater when it was first released in 2016. It was a fun experience to watch the second movie of Now You See Me franchise. Personally, I like the movies depicting magicians and illusionists. One of my favorites in this kind is The Prestige in which Christian Bale and Huge Jackman aptly illustrated the obsession by the two competing magicians doing whatever to attract more audience.

Now You See Me is also about magic and competition, but it is more about revenge and illusion. The movie makes the audience curious about what is behind the dark designs. So, audience easily concentrate on the plot without much effort. Most of the impossible illusions are completed with the computer graphics not real magic. One of the example might be this scene below.

So, Critics Hate Now You See Me 2

Many movie critics depreciated the movie because of this use of technology. They say it is a fake or a scheme. However, I cannot agree to that since the movie watching experience was great in that not many movies have been showing us this kind of computer-made illusion. It is just fun to watch. Another example of the computer-generated illusions in Now You See Me 2 is below.

Real magic can never do this. But with a means of movie, we can experience some illusions highly unlikely in the real world. The recent movie technology is capable of depict semantically possible worlds in front of our eyes. I think that is the real and true value of Now You See Me 2.

Great and Impressive Actors

Another reason why I really enjoyed Now You See Me 2 is the actors. Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Mark Ruffalo, Daniel Radcliffe, Morgan Freeman were all great in the movie. If I had to choose the best actor in this movie, I would choose Daniel Radcliffe. I really like the totally different character than Harry Potter, for whom he is really famous.
