Critics Consensus

Now You See Me 2 packs in even more twists and turns than its predecessor, but in the end, it has even less hiding up its sleeve.

3/5

It's impossible to dislike NYSM2, a big blousy movie that is giddily in love with its own preposterousness.

2.5/5

Now You See Me 2 is marginally better than its underwhelming 2013 predecessor thanks to new cast additions, but still over-explains and under-delivers.

2/5

A needlessly complicated series of bluffs and double-bluffs, which is then unpicked during huge chunks of shouty, self-congratulatory exposition.

The smoke-and-mirrors story flies all over the place and never firmly lands anywhere.

Nothing more than a glitzy, empty bauble.

A sequel that's faster, flashier and more bombastic than the original.

Was a great film I kind of find it hilarious I’m just now writing my review of this film in 2025. 9 years later however I didn’t know you could write reviews via Fandango. Anyways great film definite watch and honestly hope they make it into a Trilogy definitely worth it.

I actually really enjoyed this second one and I know that it isn’t perfect but I still somewhat found enjoyment out of it

A lot of fanfare and this time I knew it was coming. Seemed overdone to me.

My least favorite of the Now You See Me series. The plot felt pretty convoluted in this one and I did miss Isla Fisher but all the magic tricks were still so awesome. I wasn't really crazy about Lizzy Caplan's character (Lula May) at first but she did grow on me as the movie went on. Woody Harrelson playing two characters in this was INSANE. Overall, still a good time.
