	Author	Review
United States	Michael O'Sullivan The Washington Post	"The film is, at times, almost sinfully fun, assuming you have a taste for self-indulgently logic-free hedonism (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"If you fell for the 2013 original, then 'Now You See Me 2' has got your number. For the rest of us, however, this longer, louder sequel adds up to what one character calls "a sack of nada.(...) Rating ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"A chance to spend two more hours with characters we like, doing variations on the things that made us like them in the first place. The revisit, in this case, is well-earned."	POS
United States	Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter	"Compared with the first film, this one embraces the premise’s essential preposterousness, although not necessarily to winning effect."	NEU
United States	Dave White The Wrap	"The magic-themed sequel is an even more absurdly implausible caper than the first, but so what?"	POS
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"Doubling down on the giddily ridiculous tone of its predecessor, Now You See Me 2 is diverting, but the film’s rampant, cheeky cleverness ultimately proves tiresome"	NEU
United States	Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"'Now You See Me 2' boasts quite the impressive cast (...) Not a one of them escapes the chains of a nearly indecipherable plot, loads of clunky dialogue (...) and so many special effects there’s nothing magical at all about the magic (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"	NEG
United States	Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"The main sleight-of-hand at play in the illusion-themed sequel, 'Now You See Me 2,' will be convincing audiences that a single oddball idea — and four bickering, bragging leads — can support a successful franchise"	NEU
United States	Leah Greenblatt Entertainment Weekly	"Bigger and louder and—why not?—even more overstuffed with tinsel and tricks than the first one (...) Now You See Me 2 is also better"	POS
United States	David Lewis SFGATE	"Your enjoyment of the movie will depend on whether you can suspend your disbelief — and confusion — and let the magic of misdirection wash over you"	NEU
