Then, 3 years later, "Now You See Me 2" finally came out.
Let's talk about the movie first, what are the points? The first is to change to a Chinese director, and to adjust the problem of the weak rhythm in the second half of the previous work. The proportion of the magic part has decreased. This is mainly limited to the subject matter. After all, it is difficult to come up with so many good memes. Then, start to portray more characters in the plot. The length increase is mainly FBI agents, the inner world and memories have been added. Then there is the bald head of psychological suggestion, joined by his twin brother. In addition, Morgan Freeman, and Alfred, the butler in the upper section, the insurance company boss, and one of his sons, Harry Potter with the beard. And then, because there are fewer stalks, relatively speaking, the sound and light part of the magic is strengthened, and it looks more gorgeous, such as the shocking raindrop magic inside.
From the director's point of view, there is no particularly uncomfortable place, and there is no particularly eye-catching place, but it is a relatively fair evaluation. The choices in all aspects are safe and logical. There are still quite a few problems in the script, excluding the lack of magic stalks, there are still some problems even in general screenwriters. First of all, the portrayal of the illegitimate child is relatively weak. Like the father in the previous work, he is a character who has no successor and is not so motivated. The first is that the motivation is not enough. For example, the Electra complex, which is his fundamental motivation, has no foundation at all, and it is difficult for people to believe. Then the strength is not strong enough. The villain of this kind of film must have a lot of backhands, and then the protagonist has more backhands, so that a close confrontation can be performed. As his core weapon, technology is only used to monitor mobile phones, and the key to the plan is still to rely on the hints of the twin brothers in front, causing the curly-haired twins under him to have more presence than him. In fact, the character itself is not a problem, but treating this character as a Boss is a problem, and the plot becomes weak later. Then, Morgan Freeman's strange reversal made those who watched the first part feel more forced. See this benevolent. To do a good reversal of the plot, the most important thing is that the behavior of the characters needs to have a double meaning, that is to say, to show the audience a series of behaviors of the characters, the audience looks bad, but actually viewed or explained from another angle, this The series of actions are doing good things, and it makes perfect sense, so it's a beautiful reversal. But Morgan Freeman's characterization is that he seems to be helping in the front, and it is revealed in the back that he is really helping, so in the end, when he starts to recall and reason, it becomes forced.

emotional flow is slightly better than the previous work, but the suspense is far worse
It’s okay to watch it or not. In
general, it’s much worse than the previous
work. Those who watch Jay Chou need to pay attention. Jay Chou’s role is not much, but it’s not too small. In short, there are appearances but not important characters
. I feel that the public underestimates the first part, and it is more appropriate to be around 8 for comprehensive entertainment. The bug that many people mentioned in it is actually that they did not fully understand the film
, but the second part is indeed a lot worse. Maybe the higher the expectations, the greater the contrast.
