There is no such thing as a terrible movie. Some are just better than others.

Rating: 10/10 (23 August 2013)

When I first saw this movie advertised on television I thought to myself, "Is it worth it? There aren't too many magician movies that are good." The only reason why I watched it to begin with, was that Morgan Freeman is in it. I know that's a lame excuse to watch a movie, but if you think about it, Morgan Freeman has played many magnificent roles. He was God for crying out loud in Bruce Almighty and Evan Almighty. Bruce Almighty being better of course, but the point is Morgan Freeman is a magnificent actor and he always does a great job in all the movies he makes an appearance in.
In Now You See Me, Morgan Freeman is different. He did do a good job, but so did all of the other actors (Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Isla Fisher, and Dave Franco). Everyone did a magnificent job putting this movie together and I saw a lot of teamwork make this movie "blow my mind." Yes, I just used that saying, "blow my mind." There were a lot of amazing magic tricks performed like the robbing of the bank. That involved a lot of work and it was complete amazement.
I am not saying that this movie is amazing, but I am saying that this movie itself is a magic trick. It is to make you believe that the movie is indeed amazing because of all the amazing tricks that have been done. That is the cover of the whole movie to hide the fact that it lacked a good story line. They made you think there was something worth watching and kept you watching it with the magic tricks and the action. It did keep me interested and I did enjoy the movie because it pulled me in enough to watch all the way until the end.
I did read through a lot of these reviews already and many stated that the ending isn't good and that you shouldn't watch the movie because the movie ends with no real ending. That is what the movie wants you to think. If you think about it the movie title is missing part of the classic saying. It is missing a, "now you don't." You may wonder, "Why am I reading this review? What are you getting at?" I am saying, this isn't over. There is more to come. Does that mean there is going to be a sequel to this movie? Not necessarily. I sense that may be possible, but more probable of a children's television show with more adventures to come among the four great magicians.
Like I said before. This isn't an amazing movie, but it is amazing at the same time. I rate it 10 stars because it did blow my mind and because it showed me what real amazement is. It's not about how good of a story line or how the acting is. Well, it sometime is about the acting, but everyone did do a great job, plus there is a surprising turn on Morgan Freeman in the movie that will blow your mind also. You should always remember to watch a movie with low expectations and be honest to yourself on how good it really is.
