I don't think disbelief can actually be suspended this far.

The problem with both of these awful movies is that magic is supposed to impress and make you wonder wide-eyed "How did they do that?" Here there's no wonder at all because you already know the answer - CGI.

A comment originally directed at the first movie from 2013 still holds up: "So enjoyable, yet so bad."

If you're making a movie about magic tricks and not "real" magic, don't forget the leave in some realism.
Loved Daniel Radcliffe though.

Sometimes it's better to listen to your wife…...she asked...why are you gonna watch a sequel to a movie that you hated?

Sigh…..what an awful mess. Bad story, irritating characters, illogical story developments and overlong. What a waste....

If you liked Now You See Me, you'll probably like its sequel. If you thought it was on the wrong side of suspension of disbelief, NYSM 2 crosses further into that eye-rolling territory. On the face of it, I would rather a heist movie that stars stage magicians used more believable stage craft. As presented, the NYSM universe is frequently silly. The sequel enjoys itself, but perhaps a little too much, its more amusing or exciting scenes last wayyyy too long (the card hand-off is a prime example), though it can't be accused of not giving the characters from the previous film lots of stuff to do (except for Isla Fisher who is replaced by the annoying Lizzy Caplan playing, what, Kat Denning?). Daniel Radcliffe is a fun, but underutilized villain in this as well. Sadly, the film goes off the rails at the end as the bad guys just stand there and take it, and then we get twist reveal upon twist reveal going back to things from the first film. I don't know about you, but this whole "Eye" business is one of the most half-assed and unnecessary pieces of world building I've seen in movies, so anything related to it makes my eyes gloss over. I'm afraid we've sunk below "dumb fun" with this one, but with tighter direction, it might have seemed almost clever.

Not as good as the first one. And the magic tricks? Well, tell me what you cannot do with some CGI! Njaaa, too cheap, if you ask me.

Good Sequel... Only fault is they have tried to squeeze in many unnecessary story twists and characters. The highlight of the movie is the final act and the card theft scene. Missing Isla Fisher from the first movie... Lizzy Caplan looks aged..
Contains a mix of good scenes and poor scenes.. Not as solid as the original movie, but definitely worth watching! - overall: 7/10.
