In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Matylda Swan
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Now You See Me 2 is the sequel to hit original Now You See Me released in 2013. The film picks up a year later, with the Four Horsemen lying low, having formally joined secret magician society The Eye under Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo), an FBI mole and man behind the curtain to the events of the first movie. They're growing restless waiting for their next big assignment, while Rhodes plays dummy to distract the FBI. However, after they're joined by new horsewoman Lula (Lizzy Caplan) and given a mission to expose a tech magnate whose cell phones will phish private user info to buyers, things go awry. Soon, the Horsemen are separated from their mentor, plagued by enemies old and new around the world, and Rhodes has to team up with an old foe to sort out the mess.Although can be seen as both, though one of the biggest thing the sequel has over the first film is it tells an actual story instead of an incoherent setup to one. There's a big difference between mystery and confusion, and the first movie fell way on the confusion side, using twists to hide a muddled narrative. Here, we get to the actual concept: stage magicians using their talents to expose powerful crooks, liars, and thieves like a Vegas-bound Impossible Missions Force. Although this film may not be as suspenseful and mysterious as the original, where the final twist felt for organic and surprising, Now You See Me 2 isn't nearly as bad as some critics and reviews are claiming. There isn't much of a dropout in quality from the films.

Great movie overall just like the first installment.. but everytime I see a movie getting a female character outta nowhere and taking the time to portray her as someone smarter than any of the of the guys.. and mocking them.. I just get facepalm..
First movie was great cause the red head was a great asset to the team and as important as the others.. that's it.. no feminist "we can do it!" mottos.. Notice you never see the other way around.. a guy being introduced in the story and ridiculing the female characters.. why? Because the harpies would freak out and label the movie chauvinist misoginist blablablaAnyway, still worth the couple of hours I spent watching it tho

I expected bad, but i got mind numbing throw stuff at the screen shout profanities awful.
Whoever wrote the screenplay needs to question their career choice. Same with the director. The actors did a good job at amplifying the dysfunctionality of this movie, so kudos to them i guess.
If the concept of suspension of disbelief came to life as a sentient being and watched this film it would immediately seek out the tallest building and leap off its roof.
I think the best thing about this movie is that it pretty much guarantees that there will not be a Now You See Me 3 (I hope)

Don't know what category - Rubbish!The first film was hardly any better so why make a sequel!The plot is a real mess, the film is unwatchable!
I'm surprised that I stayed until the end!Poke out your eyes with hot pins would be more enjoyable!
