Now You See Me Movie Review: | |
| If you're OK with the film playing you for a sap, you'll laugh and clap and wonder how that bird got into that hat. But if you think there's a difference between being tricked and being cheated, you may feel swindled. Alonso Duralde-The Wrap This would-be "Ocean's Eleven" of the magic world remains watchable throughout, even as it plods along without ever quite fulfilling its potential. Scott Foundas-Variety One of those movies with a terrific premise and a less-than-terrific follow-through. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor Boasting a terrific cast and a flimsy plot whose logic disappears faster than a rabbit in a hat, Now struggles to pull off its cinematic sleights of hand. Scott Bowles-USA Today The more you see of the movie and the more elaborate the tricks get, the less you are inclined to believe that humans rather than machines are in charge of the illusions. Peter Howell-Toronto Star All too quickly ... the smoke clears and Now You See Me proves to be less than meets the eye. Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail It's true...The closer you look, the less there is to see. Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com The movie is nothing more than an empty spectacle hopelessly riddled with gaping plotholes, narrative coincidences and a final twist that couldn't have been more preposterous had it revealed that Chewbacca was actually Luke's father. Matt Brunson-Creative Loafing An intriguing escapade, revolving around a magician's deliberate misdirection, as in 'The more you look, the less you see.' Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate begins with a giddy sense of mischief and ends with a contrivance that bespeaks the desperation of failing to plan for a proper ending. Andrea Chase-Killer Movie Reviews You have some fun along the way. Willie Waffle-WaffleMovies.com Characters acting falsely just to fool some imaginary 3rd party who may be looking on like The Purple Rose of Cairo is as bad as a living room magician from pre-school telling their spectators to close their eyes while they hide the ball. Only not as cute Erik Childress-eFilmCritic.com The characters are sketchily drawn, so the success of this film depends almost entirely on the storytelling, which is exceptionally cluttered Leonard Maltin-Leonard Maltin's Picks Now You See Me is a fine disposable summer movie. It has a lot of flash, but that's magic. Kevin Carr-7M Pictures Pure summer movie magic - literally. More fun than Ocean's 11, 12 and 13 combined. You won't believe you eyes - and that's the point. Pete Hammond-Movieline Now not as Magical as it Wants to be Charles Koplinski-Illinois Times If you're interested in a suave demonstration of cinematic showmanship (no more, but no less), then you might want to consider giving Now You See Me a look. Sandy Schaefer-ScreenRant The movie finds a bit of redemption in its excellent cast, who do what they can with the lacklustre script. But in the end, what Now You See Me is missing is simply that ineffable spark called magic. Chris Knight-National Post Leterrier also tries to pack an extraordinary amount of story and twists into a fairly ordinary running time, resulting in editing so choppy that sometimes even the easy parts are hard to follow. Bilge Ebiri-Vulture Seems far too clever to be a summer release--those who enjoy fun heist movies should appreciate how unique this one is from others. Edward Douglas-ComingSoon.net Teen-appealing heist movie has a few brutal fight scenes. S. Jhoanna Robledo-Common Sense Media Aaron Spelling-style mindless entertainment, what they used to call a B-movie, with a lot of narrative holes to fill for an active-minded viewer. That's tantamount to going to see a magic act with a debunker's frame of mind, though Matt Kelemen-AspectRatio.us Does a great injustice to the skill of misdirection by turning elaborate deception into blunt blockbuster filmmaking, perverting sleight of hand beauty into moronic CGI-drenched escapades where anything goes.
