Now You See Me Sequel

I seem to have the opposite opinion about most movies. I didn’t hate Batman v. Superman enough to vomit out my own eyeballs even though the critics told me I should. I adore The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen regardless of the critical backlash. My favorite series is the Now You See Me series, and more specifically, the sequel is one of my favorite movies of all time. In my opinion, the sequel does everything a sequel should do. It answers questions left hanging in the first one, and does more of everything that made the first one great. More incredible magic, more thrills, and more plot twists. However, the reviewers disagree. It’s a polarizing movie. All the critiques that I found like the idea of it, but not the execution, love it unconditionally
You’re probably just realizing that, too, actually. Let’s see… it answers questions left from the first film such as [SPOILERS] and [SPOILERS]. The magic is incredible.

I’ve always been a fan of stunning movies, whether visually stunning, mentally stunning, or literarily stunning. This movie is an embodiment of all three. The CGI is excellent. The plot connects to the movie in deep ways. As a matter of fact, it connects in such deep ways that you will think about it for days after trying to work out exactly who is what and on whose side. Some critics find this twisting and turning exhausting (Peter Bradshaw from The Guardian, and Matt Zoller Seitz from rogerebert.com), but I think it’s clever. It’s like the old saying, all publicity is good publicity. If a movie requires that one thinks about, the person tells their friends about it. I can’t possibly state how much I love this movie. Sure, it’s clichéd, like the several versus one back alley fight, but with magic, but I love all the clichés that it
