Now You See Me - I maghi del crimine

This is an interesting concept, surely not a genre played out much in Hollywood. The cast is jam packed with all stars giving great (but not their best) performances. The missing piece of the puzzle? Character development.

That's not to say that there is any lack of interesting characters, each of the four horsemen bring a very unique style to the movie (besides Henley, she's rather weak as a character), and the sheer amount of Talent present in each scene guarantees that you'll be entertained.

10/10? Hardly. But definitely a solid 8 for me. Entertaining, fun, and definitely a concept worth exploring on the big screen. Just remember, the closer you look, the less you'll actually see.

"Now You See Me" is an engaging heist film that cleverly blends magic and crime, offering audiences a thrilling ride filled with impressive illusions and unexpected twists. The plot revolves around a group of illusionists, known as the Four Horsemen, who use their magical abilities to pull off elaborate heists during live performances, all while evading the law.

The film's strong ensemble cast, including Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, and Mark Ruffalo, delivers charismatic performances that keep the energy high. The chemistry among the cast members is palpable, and their individual quirks add depth to their characters. The direction and cinematography effectively capture the flashy world of magic, keeping viewers entertained with a visual feast of tricks and dazzling performances.

Beneath its captivating exterior, "Now You See Me" struggles with some narrative issues. The pacing can feel uneven at times, and certain plot twists may come off as contrived or overly complex, leaving some viewers scratching their heads. Additionally, while the film presents an exciting premise, it occasionally sacrifices character development for the sake of spectacle.

"Now You See Me" is an enjoyable watch for those seeking a blend of thrills and clever trickery. It has its flaws, but the film's charm and entertaining performances make it a solid option for a fun night in. Just don't expect complete coherence in the plot-sometimes the magic is just for show!

This is one of those movies that is somewhat entertaining upon first viewing but is easily forgettable and has nothing of substance to make a second viewing possible to enjoy. The plot is convoluted as we don't know what the main characters are doing or why. In fact, everything we know about the 4 magicians is revealed in the first 10 minutes of the movie and after that there is ZERO character development! The entire movie appears to have been made solely for the sake of the ending and yet it was so cliché that I was actually a little angry about the way they did it. It's unfortunate that in the filmmaker's attempts to be clever they neglected the most fundamental elements of storytelling: plot and character.

Like a magic show without magic, you may find yourself somewhat entertained but inevitably wind up disappointed in the end because they left out the most important part of the show.

There are a lot of reviews already for this movie, so it is unlikely anyone will read mine. But I feel like I have to weigh in on this movie.

This is the most fun I've had watching a flick in a very, very long time. This movie is a riot! It isn't quite as clever as it thinks it is. Most of the surprises weren't terribly surprising; off the top of my head I can identify at least three that I saw coming. But I don't care.

It was fun! It was funny and engaging and I found myself simultaneously rooting for both sides. There is no shortage of action, the dialogue is peppy, and - unlike almost everything else I've watched lately - it's never boring.

Do yourself a favor and don't analyze. Just sit back and enjoy the ride. Movies don't have to be life-altering.

Now You See Me is a very entertaining movie, the cast is excellent, Jesse Eisenberg is very well, Mark Ruffalo for me is the best actor of the film, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, Melanie Laurent, Morgam Freeman, Michael Caine and etc., everyone is well, the direction of the film is good, most have some problems, I found the badly explained film, and the Plot Twist the film is somewhat predictable, has great moments in the film, the visual effects are good, the script even a little poorly explained, can sustain the film, the soundtrack is cool, plus the film loses some strength in the end, get well, more will lose some quality in the course of the movie, Now You See Me is a movie cool and fun, is a good pass time.
