Spoiler Free Movie Review - Now You See Me 2

Well I saw "Now You See Me 2". I suppose I should have seen the first one.

The story was okay. It centers around Dylan an FBI agent, played by Mark Ruffalo, looking for the 'Robin Hood' type magicians called The Horsemen. The other actors, Woody Harrelson, David Franco, Jesse Eisenberg, Morgan Freeman and Daniel Radcliffe were all good.

To me the story line was somewhat confusing and convoluted. I found my mind wandering. During a fight scene where Ruffalo's character was getting beaten up I kept expecting him to change into The Incredible Hulk. My friend saw the first movie and enjoyed this one more than I did. The magic tricks were very good. Apparently they were done as they would be on stage. The director, Jon Chu didn't want the movie goers to think the tricks were done by special effects.

So go. Have fun. Eat popcorn.
