Lacks Character Development and Connection

Rating: 4/10 (16 June 2013)

Everyone close to me knows I'm a SUCKER for a good heist film. I mean Inside Man, Set it Off, and Catch me If you Can just to name a few. So 'Now You See Me' was a movie that I wanted to see from the first time I seen the trailer. Not only is it a high class heist film, but it also is starring Jesse Eisenberg (Who reallllly impressed me in the Social Network), Morgan Freeman, and Mark Ruffalo. Needless to say the star power is there. With that said, it's an entertaining movie, however I was extremely disappointed.
OK honestly there is more character development in the trailer of World War Z than there is in this movie! You gain ABSOLUTELY NO connection to any of the characters. I mean in the first 4 minutes of Superman there is more character development than there is in this whole movie. (Oh yeah superman review coming shortly after this one.)
The story was OK, they didn't go deep enough into the actual motive. The tricks were cool, actually I am convinced Jesse Eisenbergs opening number was a real trick, because I even picked the same number that shows up on the tower. The story took the easy way out at the end, and makes the whole movie feel somewhat pointless, and the journey to the end wasn't very fun because the lack of connection, or feel of motive.
Overall
As A Heist Movie 1/5....This is a tough category for me because of other heist movies, and this one DEFINITELY lacked.
Entertainment 3/5 It was entertaining, It was bearable. Nothing great, nothing horrible.
Billys Overall Movie Scale 5/10 Probably won't ever watch it again, but I'm not mad I wasted my money on it in the movies.
