I recently went to watch the new film Now you See Me which i have been waiting to see for ages. From the moment i saw its all star cast with Morgan Freeman (seriously who doesn’t want to see Morgan Freeman as a villain), Mark Ruffalo and Woody Harrelson and its interesting plot line, the trailer instantly grabbed my attention.

The film was great in its visual effects and ambitious plot. However, like any movie with too many main characters many of the characters were unfleshed out and seemed to be there just for star factor and a means to an end. Jesse Eisenberg, Woody, Isla and Dave seemed to be a the main characters, but were left mysterious and kinda just tools to drive the true sub plot of romance between Mark Ruffalo and Shoshana from Inglorious Basterds (Yeah i forgot her name). The romantic love plot seemed to be forced into the whole film about magic, Why did they fall in love? and worst of all the film left you feeling empty and needed closure.

The Eye, oooooh the mysterious Eye. Not really no, this idea was shown to us for a mere 10minutes maximum maybe even less throughout the whole film. It like the love plot seemed to be the main attraction and probably would’ve made a better main plot, but fell short when there was no explanation on why its there, what it is and why is it important.

Overall i have only settled and discussed the negatives, but don’t let that dull or negate your wanting to go watch it. I assure you the visuals will stun you and the action and events will have you entertained.
