Better than The Prestige (Dont read if you like long reviews)

Rating: 8/10 (7 July 2013)

Please note* This a short review, if you don't like short review's do no read. Thank you.
I know a lot of people are going to dislike this straight away because of the summary title. But I just want to quickly justify the title(This is only my opinion, Im not forcing it) The reason I liked this a lot more is for one thing, this seemed more believable. Being a small time magician myself I know for a fact everything in this film was possible, unlike The prestige where that went too sci-fi for my liking. Although both films had a great cast, this film just outdid it. Every character was played by very talented actor.
Now about the film. I loved mark ruffalo in this movie, he was amazing. Ever since Shutter Island he's been impressing the hell out of me with his performances, for me he stole the show the entire film. Followed by Jesse, he was great too, although he plays the same kind of nerdy character, he was just perfect for this role. Another actor who I thought stood out was Dave Franco, I thought he was great and he's character was really believable. And I loved his act of the film, it was very entertaining. All the cast did great but I don't have time to talk about everyone, but I must say, every actor added something special to this film and It was a pleasure to see them all in one film.
Now about the filmography. The directing was good, I bit shaky and quick at times but I got used to it. Because the film is so fast paced,which leads me to the editing. The editing was so sharp, every frame just seemed to fit in great and cut with great timing. Again one reason the film had such a good flowing movement to it. Also the opening scene had great cinematography, its not consistent throughout the film of course, because the film becomes fast paced, but the opening scene was great.
The score. Oh my goodness, Im I the only one who thought the music in this film got to repetitive and annoying. Im not sure but for me the music was a downside after a while It got too annoying. Also the whole film does seem to become a bit repetitive, its like you've seen one scene and then its onto to the next scene which is almost identical. Also the film could of answered a few more questions but I suppose it did leave it open for a Sequel and I do kind of the think it adds to the film to make you wonder a little after the credits show. Apart from that I cant find anything really wrong with the film. I thought it was a highly entertaining film, that you can go and watch with your younger brother.
So Im going to give Now You See Me, 4 Stars. IMDb rating (8/10)
Thank you for reading my review and have a great time watching this movie. :) :)
