Now You See Me 2

Almost a year ago to the day, I watched the original “Now You See Me,” and after watching this one today I feel much the same as I did last year. These are not good movies. These are not logical movies. These are somewhat dumb movies masquerading as clever movies. And yet….I am enjoying them. I enjoyed the first one – and I enjoyed this one.

I don’t know why? Maybe just a “turn your brain off and enjoy the ride” type of movie? I can’t quite put my hand on a movie that I mostly tear apart in this episode and yet I still say I like and still look forward to the third in the series.

Maybe that was the real trick these magicians, and filmmakers, pulled?
