Jeffrix almost as good as the first. not enough Isla Fisher! Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/10/21 Full Review Ralph R Now You See Me is a slick and entertaining heist thriller that blends magic with crime in a way that keeps you engaged from start to finish. The plot is well-paced, introducing its characters quickly but effectively, making sure each magician stands out with their own style. The mystery unfolds in a way that keeps you guessing, with some moments that feel genuinely clever and others that rely on misdirection. While the twist works, it feels like it was designed more for shock value than something deeply layered, but it still delivers on the fun factor. The directing does a solid job of balancing action with the illusion-based storytelling, making each trick feel larger than life. The cinematography leans into the sleek and stylish, using dynamic camera movements that enhance the sense of spectacle. There’s a good rhythm to the editing, making sure the pacing never drags, though some moments feel a little too quick, as if rushing to the next big trick. The sound design and score add to the energy, keeping the excitement high throughout. Acting-wise, the cast is strong, with Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, and Dave Franco each bringing distinct personalities to the group. Mark Ruffalo plays his role well, though his character sometimes feels overshadowed by the magicians. Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine add weight to the film, though Freeman, as always, feels like he’s playing a version of himself. Mélanie Laurent is a welcome addition, though her role is somewhat underdeveloped. The script is sharp, filled with witty dialogue and a sense of mystery that works well for this type of film. While it may not be a deeply thought-provoking movie, it’s a stylish and enjoyable ride that keeps you entertained throughout. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/25 Full Review Henry W It was remarkably mediocre. The FX were fun, and the basic premise was good. The writing was amateurish. The chemistry between the characters was almost non-existent. How Larent's character came to like Ruffalo's character was a mystery. His character treated hers very poorly, but somehow we're supposed to believe they've got some connection? Just, no. The chase scenes were good, and the premise was strong enough to not give this one star. So, there's that. I see this film as a: an easy paycheck for some respected actors b: a horrifically wasted opportunity. It's Oceans Eleven for stupid people. Grade: C Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/10/25 Full Review Blu B When people talk about what does modern pacing feel like in a movie in the 21st Century, this is Exhibit A. It's like if JJ Abrams made the Prestige in a way. It's not a bad thing, it's entertaining but it SO CLEARLY wants to keep throwing new twists and turns at you so you don't think about how insane it would be for all this to have even the remotest chance of occuring. Don't Think Consume Product and Floor It. It feels like it thinks it's olot twists and turns are cut from the same cloth as The editing isn't bad either but man it jumps around so much. It's like a heist thriller movie mixed with a action flick with magicans. During the car chases and fights it feels like a Bourne Movie. You can follow it pretty easily without paying much attention. Despite being an insane complex plot it's very much a turn your brain off type of flick. Were led to believe the 4 magicians at the start which are so sloppy with how there edited but than Mark Ruffalo becomes the focus. Than sometimes back to the main 4 and than crazy heists/setups happen with no setup at all. The acting is good and so is the cinematography. The actual heist tricks themselves are the highlight and pretty memorable. Easily the highlight of the film. Ruffalo is great also and the ensemble cast does pretty good overall. There all memorable. The one STUPID thing is the whole Ancient Egypt Secret Order which is SOOO stupid. If you take that out it feels like nothing is lost. I have yet to see one film involving ancient Egypt links to modern times that doesn't have problems. (Catwoman, X-Men Apocalypse) The music isn't bad but feels a bit generic and is well used though. I think most people would find this actually entertaining and get enjoyment out of it. Especially if your a fan of any actors in this too. But someone who can easily see through the smoke and mirrors and wants something of substance will have a harder time getting invested and suspending their disbelief than others here. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/25 Full Review Jon D Boring , predictable, and the ending draws on for nearly 30 minutes. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/25 Full Review Cherilyn J This movie was definitely better than the 2nd one.
