Review Time

Warning: there is flashing effects/colourful effects/drugs/shooting/dismemberment/drowning/very slight yet censored adult languid references in this content

Revenge is out to get the Four Horsemen: briefly; Jack Wilder [Dave Franco:] he is the youngest member of the Four Horsemen, his talents are slight of hand and as you will see he is trying to learn a new talent and our newest member to this group is Lula May [Lizzy Caplan:] her talents are staged magic and slight of hand, but when the Four Horsemen have no other choice but to accept this job, that's when they are really up against it.

Generally speaking: basically there is plenty of blame to go around here; be it the storyline/script being predominantly dull, to the character developments and performances also as you will read not offering much or/and can't be bothered to build up chemistry; basically if I don't mention it as a positive you may as well go and presume it being dull and the framework and pacing of this 129 minutes film mirrors when it is going through a good patch or not

Art, action and comedy; the opening credits monologue sequence is very artistic and highly engaging, as when the sequel can be bothered it can be highly engaging, interesting, be it the scene and instructions, etc and action packed such as when we have an example J. Daniel "Danny" Atlas [Jesse Eisenberg:] he is still the leader of the Four Horsemen and in this sequence of events he is pulling this illusion with rain; it is exceptionally beautiful and mesmerising, I have to confess that even from by someone of my extremely wide sense of humour the efforts of comedy fell flat pancake

Character developments and performances; on both counts they are very much like watching paint dry; meaning it will do the job, no frills and definitely no spills and quite frankly you have to be bored to watch it dry, I mean what the hell were they doing with the chemistry between Wilder/Franco and May/Caplan talk about half posterioring it, there is a picture of flirting here in their at best throughout the film and at the end they have a romantic kiss: this is just garbage and whatever progression there is as it relates to the returning characters/performers, for an example I was so disinterested I couldn't care less about them, so let's put it like this; I hope they have great updated the character developments in the upcoming sequel of this instalment Now You See Me: Now You Don't 2025 [to be released: 14/11/2025,] because if they haven't we will be having a serious conversation considering nine years roughly have passed since we have been within this franchise.

This film receives: 3/10, this film is poor; in one way or another the beginning of the opening credits were good and roughly speaking the final quarter of this instalment was also good, but everything else is just so boring, it was just painful watching to the point where I was struggling to keep awake, in fact if my memory is correct I briefly fell asleep. Yet somehow this film does have some positive awards accredited to its name; 5 Nominees which include but not limited to Teen Choice Awards 2016 Teen Choice Award Choice Summer Movie, Choice Summer Movie Star: Male Dave Franco and Choice Summer Movie Star: Female Lizzy Caplan.
