Now You See Me 2 is the perfect example of an unnecessary sequel ordered for purely economic reasons following the unexpected success of the first. No surprise, then, that the movie is heartbreakingly bland, satisfying itself by merely nudging the worn limits of the original, which already struggled with weaknesses. Director Jon M. Chu, who replaces Louis Leterrier, deploys a plethora of special effects to bring some spectacle to the story, along with an army of talented actors. But the script reads like a bad Hollywood plot with a dive down the rabbit hole that is far too stupid to be fun.

Next.
