Best way to describe this is National Treasure with magic

Rating: 8/10 (4 July 2013)

THERE WILL BE NO SPOILERS Until THE FINAL PARAGRAPH
Like I said in the summary its like National Treasure with magic, by that I mean that It is a quite funny family friendly film that is well acted, well directed and well written but is nothing special, it wont win Oscars and wont go down as a classic but it does what it sets out to do very well and I liked it a lot.
What I loved most about this film is the magic itself the way that they did this tricks was very good and well thought out, don't get me wrong none of this was realistic and if your expecting to go in and watch a film as good as the prestige then you will be disappointed but if you want a fun film for all the family that is very entertaining then I would recommend it.
Another thing that I loved about this film was the cast, they are all very good actors and they all played their characters very well. First lets start with the four magicians, Jesse Eisenberg (social network, zombieland and an Oscar nominee) Woody Harrelson (zombieland, natural born killers and a double Oscar nominee) Isla Fisher (wedding crashers and Rango) finally Dave Franco (21 jump street and superbad.) These four actors had excellent chemistry on screen and were extremely good in this movie. The other main actors in this movie are Morgan Freeman, Micheal Caine, Mark Ruffalo (the avengers) and Mélanie Laurent (Inglourious Basterds) all of which again were very good and did their job very well, especially Mark Ruffalo he was excellent.

So lets go into specifics especially the ending I have heard mixed reviews on the ending some of the people that I went and saw this with, thought it was very good and didn't see it coming, the other found it to be a bit forced upon the audience and very convenient. I didn't feel that it was that bad, if you didn't know (MASSIVE SPOILER)Mark Ruffalo character turns out to be the guy that originally brings together the four magicians and is a great magician himself. I didn't really see it coming but at the same time I knew there was something wrong with him if I'm honest I thought he was related to one of the magicians but I was wrong.
SPOILERS STOP HERE !!!
In conclusion I feel that this film was very good I would probably give it a high 7 maybe 7.7 or 7.8 and is defiantly worth a watch the cast is very good and is well written and directed. But don't go into this film expecting a film that makes perfect sense then you wont like this movie, but if you like the national treasure films then you will probably enjoy this film.
