Now You See Me 2 Coming 9/6 + Review
Now You See Me 2 is especially great after seeing Now you See Me
Have you seen Now You See Me (the first one?) If you are a fan of the first “Now You See Me” movie, you will really enjoy this follow-up. It is definitely a movie where you should have seen the first one in order to follow along properly and understand the characters.
Picking up where the first film left off, the Horsemen are in hiding but emerge with a new plan. Things are not as they seem, of course, and the plot takes off from there.
The cast is bigger, but the acting is great. I was skeptical with the loss of Isla Fisher, but Lizzy Caplan brings her own character into the story, and she is a welcome addition. I didn’t feel like she was just a replacement for the female lead, but a very likable and important part of the team in her own right. Daniel Radcliff brings his own new character into play and performs the heck out of it.
The effects are spectacular, and the twists are impressive, as you would expect.
I highly recommend this movie, but only if you’ve seen the first.
