RE: "Now You See Me 2" by Jon M. Chu - movie review

in #godflesh7 years ago

It would seem that the difficult thing is to repeat the success of the first film? Do more tricks, season with action and ready. But no, in this movie, a couple of passing tricks and one big (of course in the finals), but a lot of "talking" and literally one action-episode - and that does not represent anything. As a result, it is almost impossible to look at the "Now You See Me 2" without yawning. What happened to the adventure, fun and ease of the first film is unclear. I think that this is not a problem for the director's part, but rather the scenario. You can not the first half hour to swing the public with one chatter and sucked out of a finger conflicts among the main characters. Let's just show, let's hardcore. Why low start, why this seriousness? However, the director also has something to scold. It is clear that the mainstream is a producer film, but at the helm there was a director of spectacular dance dramas, which here could do everything "in beauty", and not as an ordinary artisan. Well, what really there, with intrigue and pathos overdo it. It's cool that in the end two powerful plot turns at once, but the head does not understand anything by this time, and the ears wilt from high-spoken speeches.
In short, the franchise is ruined, the third part probably will not have to wait. The only thing in this movie is definitely good, so this music. And then it is borrowed from the first part.
