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.

NYSM2 is about four Horsemen performing their magic and fighting against bad guys. I highly recommend this movie. Not only NYSM2 story, but also the magic was absolutely amazing. It was quite impressive to me because the dazzling magic completely captivated my eyes. Additionally, the soundtracks made me focus more on this movie. Compared to other action movies, the characters in this movie took on bad guys by performing magic not by physical fight. Also, four Horsemens' teamwork was incredibly wonderful. I was totally envious of their teamwork.

If you thought the first one was quite good, then you will find this one a big disappointment. An interesting next chapter but lacking atmosphere or tension. Drawn out. A big yawn.

It has a lot of twist and turns... it's worth watching but if you don't like a movie which tricks you and doesn't have very certain plot, then you should count this one out.

Oh dear! A film believing in its self far too much to even tell a story, with so many twists and turns that they forgot to add any real point to it. The real magic and mystery is how this disaster is getting a third film! Watch number one, forget number two, and hope number three learns from its mistakes.

So how bad are you at portraying fully realized intelligent, thoughtful women who actually impact the plot in a way that doesn't depend on them being desperate or stupid? The producers/writers/director: Yes. "Oh Jack, did you think I was like the other girls?" is an actual line. It really must have hurt Caplan to say that, especially after being in Tina Fey's Mean Girls. Just plain insulting.
