This Movie is an insult to "Magic"

Rating: 1/10 (13 January 2015)

A friend of mine recommended this, saying the movie was cool and all that with the magicians as Robinhood-wannabe. My first impression upon hearing the word 'magician' was the movie I've watched prior; "The Prestige", but then, I was utterly disappointed after finding out that the movie mistook 'magic' with 'sorcery'.
Someone must tell the movie staffs that there are stark contrasts between 'magician' and 'sorcerer', seriously. Sure, both words might sound similar, and maybe even some children classified them as the same thing. But I believe they didn't hire 6th-grader to make this movie, did they? Flying and swirling curtain? Flying deck of cards? A magic show involving a whole city of extras, or maybe the magic was a magic show of car accident involving a whole city of innocent peoples and somehow managed to pull it anyway? What the hell?
And by the way, what was with the plot twist saying that the character Ruffalo's (didn't even bother remembering the character's name. He was basically just running around the background like some stupid chasing after the wind) were playing was the actual mastermind or something like that? That came out of nowhere! Hey, director, if you want to give a plot twist, give the viewers some more hint so that they could think, not just watching in awe with the sorcery-practitioner magician acting all Robinhood, dulling their (viewer) brains.
The actions and the CGI were awesome, sure, I would love it if the magicians were replaced with sorcerers or something equally 'magical', whoa, there comes the word 'magic' again. Whatever. The rating of the movie in this site was good, but it seems like they (the staffs) didn't read the review carefully. Most people were saying that the movie was basically cool with the actions and all, but most of them ALSO said that the movie lacks depth and plausible story. And now, they're currently working with the sequel. Okay, good luck, then. That's all I wanted to say.
