Good, but a disappointing ending

Rating: 4/10 (20 January 2014)

Now you see me is a fantastic movie. Action, mystery and crime until the end.
The special effects were amazing, and so were the actors/actresses and their performance. The story had me intrigued throughout most of the movie. and I found that, as the movie progressed, the story line kept improving and kept expending.
But than, they decided to make the FBI-agent involved in all of it. This they should not have done, as the story suddenly died in seconds. It just didn't add up. Where other movies managed to give you such a amazing and overwhelming feeling at the reveal, when suddenly everything falls in place, this movie gave me a overwhelming confusion. It was as if they had finished the script and decided to merge it with another, because they felt it wasn't spectacular enough.
To be fair, I must say they could have gotten away with it, and it would have met a nice twist, if they hadn't focused on agent Rhodes so much throughout the movie (for instance if they used agent Fuller, they could have blew my mind). But upon choosing agent Rhodes, the whole ''serves him right'' feeling fell apart. For example, the scene where the hypnotized ''footbal'' crowd tackled Dylan Rhodes (and I was at the tip of my chair, nearly jumping from excitement), was rendered worthless, because it didn't have any purpose anymore. Besides there where a lot of scenes where agent Rhodes was furious, and incredibly stressed over the situations they were in, and suddenly i'm forced to believe this was all an act?
It's just a shame, and a enormous disappointment. But apart from that I still enjoyed the movie. And I must say that the incredible action sequences do compensate tremendously. It is still a amazing movie and it is definitely still worth watching. 6/10
