There are also the four knights and Dylan fighting against the villains in Macau, and the action scenes are also mediocre. We have all become accustomed to many Jackie Chan movies or other action Hong Kong movies. For Mao’s Hollywood blockbusters, they must be in the downtown area, and directly say that they are shooting in the slums of the Chinese. Is it very interesting to play in a narrow and crowded place? Of course, in terms of production costs, this scene is sufficient and low in cost, but is this really hilarious?
The four knights and Dylan are also puzzling to complete the juggling of Arthurs stealing the super chip. The five people passing the target object to each other is very eye-catching, but isn't such a variety of tricks just to show off their skills? In the end, it is not going to pass the customs inspection. This is mostly a magic gimmick that bluffs the audience's eyeballs, without any deep meaning to the theme of the movie. Isn't it just for entertainment?
The film adds two veterans to the actor's strength, one is Michael Kane and the other is Morgan Freeman. Unfortunately, there is no more head-on confrontation between the two old actors, but a secret fight. Of course, the actors of the Four Horsemen are more relaxed and powerful than the performance in the first episode. Harry Potter's actor Daniel Radcliffe and Michael Cain's partner did not have sparks everywhere, they can only be so-so. It seems that to be ruthless, Daniel has to work harder. Jay Chou's role is actually not heavy, so he does not require superb acting skills, and his performance is fairly natural and comfortable.
As a 3D film, the film is actually not necessary. 2D is enough. The place to show off is only a few scenes. It is Jesse Eisenberg's game of raindrops. We have already seen it in "The Great Master". The special effects promote the skill of raindrops, and "Now You See Me 2" obviously can't play this trick with the former.
Of course, the translation of film subtitles is still relatively advanced with the times, and various online funny language is interspersed with it, which can resonate with the audience, and the jokes continue. The role played by Woody Harrison where the two brothers dismantle each other can also touch the audience's laughter, but the explanation of the roles is not very clear.
