Now You See Me

"A superficially diverting but substance-free concoction, a would-be thriller as evanescent as a magic trick and one that develops no suspense (...) because the characters possess all the substance of invisible ink" 

"This is a slick con, all flash and no substance. 'Now You See Me' seems awfully sure of itself, with self-important, intrusive music" 

"Long before the story culminates with a preposterous final revelation, whatever hopes you had that 'Now You See Me' might have had anything to say about the profession of magic, rampant greed or anything else have been dashed" 

"It takes a certain dark magic to make the talent of a top cast (...) disappear right before your eyes (...) rating: ★½ (out of four)" 

"This would-be 'Ocean's Eleven' of the magic world remains watchable throughout, even as it plods along without ever quite fulfilling its potential" 

"'Now You See Me' zips by, smoothly and pleasantly thanks to that star-studded cast and the slick cinematography, but it’s hard to get too attached to it. Now you see it, now you don’t, now you stop thinking about it (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)" 

"We’re stuck with a greasy-haired Mark Ruffalo (...) muttering that he doesn’t have time for this magic crap (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"
