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.

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.

Without that element of novelty [from the first installment], but with some elements that maintain the narrative pulse, the sequel holds its own... [Full review in Spanish]

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

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.

Now You See Me 2 manages to be marginally better than the original thanks to some sharp new energy. The addition of Lizzy Caplan, who brings a much-needed spark of eccentricity, and Daniel Radcliffe, playing against type as a tech-obsessed villain, helps elevate the ensemble chemistry. While the plot remains a bit convoluted and the film sits comfortably in the fairly average category of action-thrillers, it succeeds as a fun heist movie that prioritizes spectacle and "how-did-they-do-that" flair over gritty realism.
