Full Review Page

Now You See Me is a fast paced thrill ride that unfortunately doesn't return you to the station at the end, but instead ends with you locked in your seat and forced to watch Catwoman before you can go home. The premise of the movie is incredibly stupid, but incredibly unique with tons of unexpected reveals and the pace is so fast that I watched the extended edition, clocking in at about two hours, and I was prepared to be about thirty minutes in when I paused it the first time and discovered it had already been an hour. There are some very bad effects and ADR (mainly in the first show) and Ruffalo and Laurent are hit or miss with their acting, but it's really easy to overlook and just get drawn in by the spectacle. The whole time, I'm telling myself how stupid this movie is and every scene is overflowing with happenstance, but I was so on board that I'd have rode this movie right into a wall, which is exactly what happens in the last fifteen minutes. As many other reviews have mentioned, the ending and final "twist" is a game-breaking mess that opens hundreds of plot holes. It makes no sense (certainly no logical sense) and undoes the other hour and forty-five minutes. As much as I loved Woody Harrelson and Dave Franco (the best Franco), nothing could possibly make up for that ending. It's not just confusing and illogical (/impossible) but it's anger-inducing. If you make the world's best plate of spaghetti and then take a crap on it, it's no longer delicious Italian food; it's just crap. An amazing movie with a terrible ending just leaves you with a bad taste.
