I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
To me, this movie is perfection.
hyped garbage
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
This time, we know the horsemen are not common thieves. Their new mission goes awry however when it is hijacked by a petulant villain who forcibly uses them to retrieve the very same piece of tech they wanted to expose. How will they be able to achieve their goal and get out of the frying pan without jumping into the fire without their mentor around ? If this does not sound very subtle, it is just because it isn't.We can't really worry about anything or care about the backstory. We can go along with the entertainment despite the feeling that everything will be alright in the end. The good guys will somehow defeat the childish villain and the evil twin (I kid you NOT) and everything will be explained. And that's the problem in a nutshell. No tricks or special effects can change the fact that it is pedestrian.
The people that are still saying this movie is terrible is also the same people who still don't understand the movie itself.Though it did leave out a few details it is the best magical franchise of its kind.
I liked the first one. It was enjoyable, though it wasn't a great movie, and there's a reason it didn't win an Oscar. This sequel is just plain bad. It takes everything enjoyable about the first one, and removes them. For some reason they thought the stuff that didn't work as well as other parts was the stuff people wanted to see, so more of the nonsense was added. Kind of boring, but not enough so to nap through.
How to explain it? Some people will love it, some will hate it, but overall it is a great sequel to the first one in my perspective, loved every bit of it, it is not over the top for 10/10, but overall it is great to waste some time enjoying the magic show. Yeah they were some mildly boring scenes but overall the movie is good and it is worth the watch.7/10
