Critics Consensus

Now You See Me 2 packs in even more twists and turns than its predecessor, but in the end, it has even less hiding up its sleeve.

Tara Brady

Irish Times

It's impossible to dislike NYSM2, a big blousy movie that is giddily in love with its own preposterousness.

Rated: 3/5

Chesapeake Family Magazine

Now You See Me 2 is marginally better than its underwhelming 2013 predecessor thanks to new cast additions, but still over-explains and under-delivers.

Rated: 2.5/5

Wendy Ide

Observer (UK)

A needlessly complicated series of bluffs and double-bluffs, which is then unpicked during huge chunks of shouty, self-congratulatory exposition.

Rated: 2/5

The smoke-and-mirrors story flies all over the place and never firmly lands anywhere.

Kaplan is a jewel in the crown, putting in a terrific performance and more than holding her own in this light hearted, undemanding caper.

Was a great film I kind of find it hilarious I’m just now writing my review of this film in 2025. 9 years later however I didn’t know you could write reviews via Fandango. Anyways great film definite watch and honestly hope they make it into a Trilogy definitely worth it.

Far more entertaining than the 1st film. Jesse's Eisenbergs character is now bald, they swapped the female lead, they made Woody Harrelson's character have a twin and they added Harry Potter as the evil villain. Entertainingly amusing and perplexing in certain ways but not in a 'The Da Vinci Code' kind of way but more in a 'Dude Wheres My Car kinda way'.

I loved the characters, but this was not as good as the first movie of theirs. The magic was also sub par compared to the first one

It's an entertaining movie ... More backstory than NYSM1 which I found to be one of the things I liked about it. It was entertaining. I am not sure why there were such nasty, negative reviews given this is a movie about magic ... and it shows great tricks! If you can enjoy the movie for what it is you will leave the film with a smile and anticipating the 3rd in the franchise. Stop being overly analytical and critical and just "enjoy the show"!

This is possibly the stupidest movie I have ever seen. The last 5 minutes is completely disconnected. I like surprise endings but this one is so far fetched and half explained that it was ludicrous. Negative 5 thumbs down.
