Fun, but fails to amaze

Rating: 5/10 (9 June 2013)

"Now You See Me" started quite convincingly that makes audience curious of how they did that trick. Their first show at Las Vegas as The Hourseman when they rob a bank is really interesting to see and I thought this movie would be promising, complicated and mind blowing. But unfortunately after that scene, this movie becomes slow and tries to be smart for audience which is actually not. I found myself bored and exhausted watching half of the movie. There are many questions to this movie that has no answer to be explained. The trick itself is kind of impossible and not makes any sense that only could happen in a movie. In other words, audience is forced to accept that the concept of the movie is brilliant. The chemistry between characters here are also poor development, chemistry is one of the most important aspect if people want to create this kind of movie. It's too shamed, they have so many talented casts here that should be exploited. Compared with what "Ocean's Trilogy" had done about their casts, "Now You See Me" not even close with that. Overall, "Now You See Me" is an enjoyable movie to see and quite fun. But don't expect this movie would make any impacts like their magician predecessors did in "The Prestige" and "The Illusionist"
