Now You See Me Reviews

We have an obsession for killing time and scrolling through nonsense and I’d like to make a sincere thank you to this film for the meaning of “that’s 2 hours of my life I’m not getting back”

This was cerebrally entertaining without the usual vocal or visual profanity. Great job for both movies. The characters meshed well, story line consistent, acting by all superb.

actually pretty good but ngl some of the magic its kinda not possible so its a bit over the top, i didnt want the fbi and interpol to fricking kiss bc there not the main character like just get the heck out of here but the plot twist was unexpected (not that good tbh).

The cast is great and while it isn't as slick as I think it wants to be, it is still a fun watch.

Was this the worst movie I’ve ever seen? Probably not. Can I think of a worse movie? No.

A good movie - with a surprising twist - it's a shame it comes out of nowhere.

As much as I hate Jesse Eisenberg and his annoying voice and acting, I love this movie. It's one of those movies that you can only watch once to experience the twists and turns it has in the magic.

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.

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

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.

Boring , predictable, and the ending draws on for nearly 30 minutes.

This movie was definitely better than the 2nd one. Has a lot of twists and turns, and the magic was incredible! :)

Movie was terrible and it took me 50 minutes in to realize it. What the movie lacked was consistency. Everything about this movie was inconsistent. The plot, acting, and even the character development. The plot didn't make sense and was inconsistent. The movie tried too hard to give plot twists and just made it nonsensical. The two main characters were obviously supposed to be intimate, but they both lacked chemistry and it seemed like they didn't like each other. The character development was good awful. A lot of screentime was spent building the main character to prepare the audience for the other twist, but a lot happened in the film that just contradicted itself. When a movie tries to make a strong plot twist you have to make sure previous scenes don't contradict later scenes. For example, with the way Mark Ruffalo fought and chased Dave Franco there's NO WAY you can turn later say Mark's character was behind it all. When you rewatch a movie with a strong plot twists there have to be hidden cues like "ah how'd I miss that!" Instead with this film, if you rewatch it, you'll be like "Wait, it doesn't make sense to do that if you're gonna use the plot twist in the end." As aforementioned, lack of consistency. Morgan's character was abused and made a fool of. That is just a total waste of his strength. The movie went all in on their plot twist to really shock the audience and in the end that just made it feel like the first 50 minutes were a waste.

A thrilling movie that keeps you guessing at every single turn on what the Four Horsemen might do and why they do it. With an aspect of faith, and a multitude of twists and turns, the movie walks you blindly into a festival of cards and charades. It has some of the most realistic moments I've seen in a “magic” movie and plenty of excellent writers to keep the all-star cast accompanied. With Mark Ruffalo and Jesse Eisenberg at the helm, they are complimented handsomely by Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, and so many other amazing actors.

«Now You See Me», directed by Louis Leterrier, is a captivating heist thriller that artfully blends magic and deception. The film revolves around a group of illusionists known as the four horsemen, who pull off a series of daring bank heists during their performances, robbing corrupt businessmen while entertaining crowds. The film features an ensemble cast, including Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, and Isla Fisher, each bringing their charisma to the roles. The plot unfurls through clever twists and turns, keeping viewers guessing about the true motivations of the characters. The film's pacing is brisk; it balances the thrill of the heists with the intrigue of cat-and-mouse games involving an FBI agent and an Interpol detective. While the film entertains with its stylish visuals and clever setup, it prioritizes spectacle, leaving some character backstories underdeveloped. Compared to other heist films, such as «Ocean's Eleven», it lacks a certain depth but compensates with its unique thematic focus on illusion versus reality. In conclusion, «Now You See Me» is an exhilarating film that captivates with its innovative approach and spectacular heists. While it may not dive deep into character exploration, its entertainment value and clever plot twists make it a must-see for fans of thrillers.

Very fun movie about magicians. Sometimes got a bit complex in terms of word choice for a non-native speaker, but overall storyline is great, with many twists and turns

Filme: Truque de Mestre Assistido: Set/24 Elenco: @jesseelsenberg @davefranko @islafisher @michael_caine_official @morganfreeman @woodyharrelson @markruffalo Modelo: #aventura #ficção Duração: 1h 55m Ano: 2013 Minha opinião: Um filme interessante que traz uma proposta diferente; a mágica. Como exemplo o filme “O Ilusionista” mais um filme muito bom. Aqui temos um mágico X, que reúne uma equipe de mágicos medianos e depois de um tempo os transformam em Super Mágicos; Daniel (Jesse), Merritt (Woody), Jack (Dave) e a simpática Henley (Islar). Tudo começa no dia que o dinheiro de um Banco na Europa some e chove no meio da mágica, depois tem outra mágica que surpreende a todos e nisso tudo temos Tadeus (Morgan) que quer sabotar tudo. Até o dia clímax com uma mágica onde beneficia pessoas que perderam dinheiro de investimento para Arthur (Caine) e tudo é devolvido e ao final Tadeus é incriminado e preso. O filme tem boas atuações e bons CGI e efeitos. Roteiro e enredo muito inteligente e com um ótimo enredo. Parabéns pela construção deste filme. Tanto que a continuação com a parte 2. Vale apena assistir? Sim commcerteza Nota: 8,5

I absolutely adored this flick. It's fun, snappy dialog, beautiful effects, keeps you guessing until the twist end, and had me rooting for the protagonists without ever thinking, "morons deserve what they get." Think of it like a cross between Usual Suspects and Oceans 11.
