Now You See Me: The Second Act's reviews
Media reviews
Variety
'Now You See Me 2' is more like a giddy piece of cheese from the ?80s, a chance to spend two more hours with characters we like, doing variations on the things that made us like them in the first place.
The Wrap
The superhero parallels keep coming, and that?s clearly intentional. The film is aware of its place in a cinematic landscape that prefers its crime fighters to have at least some sort of enhanced personal ability. But ?Now You See Me 2? knows its heroes can?t save the world, and more importantly, it knows that saving the world keeps getting done to death in other movies, and that no one in the audience expects anything less.
Entertainment Weekly
Jon M. Chu (several Step Up movies) has taken over directing duties from Louis Leterrier, and he has a lighter, goofier touch. He seems to get that the silliness is baked in.
Time Out
Excruciatingly incoherent..
Indiewire
We used to watch movies and wonder ?How did they do that?? The problem with 'Now You See Me 2' isn?t that we already know the answer, it?s that we?re not even inspired to ask the question.
