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.

Twists and turns abound in this heist/revenge comedy/action film. More CGI in place of "magic", but what the heck, it's a lot of fun to see the "magicians" ply their craft.

Worse than the first, vault scene with the card was cool but everything after that sucks and has a twist that makes even less sense than the first

You haven't seen anything yet. Now You See Me 2 (also known as Now You See Me: The Second Act) is a 2016 American heist film directed by Jon M. Chu 🪄 Although there are a few slow sections, this is still a fun and entertaining movie… It’s good 🙂 Worth a watch. I’d recommend it if you like this genre 👍🏼 One year after outwitting the FBI and winning the public’s adulation with their mind-bending spectacles, the Four Horsemen resurface only to find themselves face to face with a new enemy who enlists them to pull off their most dangerous heist yet.

Now You See Me 2 tries to recapture the flashy charm of the first film, but it doesn’t quite stick the landing. The magic tricks are still fun and the cast gives it their all, but the plot gets convoluted fast and leans a little too hard on spectacle over substance. Some of the twists feel more like convenient cheats than clever reveals, and the novelty has definitely worn off a bit. It’s still watchable, just not nearly as impressive the second time around.
