Not as good as they say

Rating: 4/10 (24 August 2013)

To be honest, I couldn't finish 'Now You See Me'. I was too put off by the snooty characters, and the attitude of the film which just seems too pleased with itself. Also, the story wasn't interesting enough to keep my attention.
Many reviewers have praised the acting, but I didn't think it was very good at all. The dialogue is forced. Isla Fisher's character is little more than eye candy -in a very short skirt- to ensure viewers.
Some have said this film represents a new economic model of movie-making. Based on the number of "best movie ever" reviews on this website, it would seem that spamming IMDb with fake reviews is part of that model.
This is not a good movie in my opinion, and certainly doesn't warrant a sequel, but we all know they'll make one. And the media will say how great it is, because it's not quite as terrible as most of the dreck coming out of Hollywood.
