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

Without that element of novelty [from the first installment], but with some elements that maintain the narrative pulse, the sequel holds its own... [Full review in Spanish]

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

This film was as great as the first one. Enjoyed this one slightly better in terms of the action scenes. Though the new villain was slightly dodgy on the convincing side.

Slow, clunky scene between Ruffalo and Freeman at movie's end was not a plus and there's a long, senseless scene earlier where the Horseman are being searched, one-by-one. Expertly hiding the item AS they are searched, the magician would (for no earthly reason) then pass the item AFTER the search was completed to someone who was next to be searched. Once the first Horseman had successfully hidden the item throughout the thorough search, wouldn't it make sense to hang on to the item? Instead of passing it on to risk possibly being found on the next Horseman to be searched? Oh well, those things aside, I enjoyed the movie well enough.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Now You See Me 2 is definitely a step down from the original, weighed down by an overcomplicated plot that tries a little too hard to fool the audience. It offers far fewer memorable moments, and Lizzy Caplan’s character unfortunately doesn’t add much to the Horsemen. Still, the premise remains fun, the action is enjoyable, and the great soundtrack makes it an easy, entertaining choice for a night in.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
