Joy to watch

Rating: 7/10 (22 August 2013)

'Now you see me' has one of the best starts for a movie in recent times and though the ending doesn't keep up with the start, on the whole the movie is still great. I am a fan of Jessie Eisenberg and had high expectations for this movie and it did not disappoint. You never feel less entertained in any of its parts.
The movie opens with such a bang, right from the very first scene. Whenever a magic trick comes about, you feel like you've let out your inner kid. The first half hour is just pure joy for watching.
The pace of the movie lasts and amps up till the very last parts of the movie. Leading to this point the tricks seem to get a little ridiculous and even more so as it ends. But at this point you would have left behind worrying about the logic and would just be enjoying it.
At the end things move about so fast that most average movie goer tends to miss many things and can leave them a bit confused and leaves critics hard to grasp in all minute details.
There are a few things that bothered me a bit. There is no way Morgan Freeman knew all that so correct to every inch of particular details. I did not find the character of Alma Dray to my taste. The romance is totally unnecessary in the movie.
There definitely are few blunders and errors in logic as it is in any movie. But my views are put together in a dialog from the movie, paraphrased: "It's not how it's done that is important, but at the end it did put a smile on your face and that is what I paid to watch".
It is one of those movies that you need to watch more than once to absorb in every little detail of it, though there might be few details that might not be to your liking.
