Sinopses(1)
One year after outwitting the FBI and winning the public's adulation with their Robin Hood-style magic spectacles, The Four Horsemen resurface for a comeback performance in hopes of exposing the unethical practices of a tech magnate. The man behind their vanishing act is none other than Walter Mabry, a tech prodigy who threatens the Horsemen into pulling off their most impossible heist yet. Their only hope is to perform one last unprecedented stunt to clear their names and reveal the mastermind behind it all. (Lionsgate US)

Todos os negativos do primeiro filme se repetiram e mais alguns foram acrescentados. O filme Mestres da Ilusão 2 pode novamente parecer caro, elegante e brilhante como um casino de Las Vegas, o que anda de mãos dadas com as atuações megalómanas dos quatro heróis-ilusionistas, mas ainda tem uma história bastante fraca e estúpida cheia de buracos e disparates. Os personagens principais são facilmente capazes de realizar assaltos em dez minutos que nem os Ocean's Eleven - Façam as Vossas Apostas seriam capazes de fazer após muitas horas de esforço, e claro que podem hipnotizar ou pôr qualquer um a dormir durante horas com apenas um simples estalar de dedos, pelo que pode acontecer absolutamente qualquer coisa no filme, e depois será explicado pelo facto de muitos dos personagens estarem a atuar num estado de hipnose. Isto permite aos cineastas criar reviravoltas surpreendentes, totalmente construidas de nada e apoiadas com dezenas de muletas coxas de argumento. O enredo vai em dez direções diferentes em simultâneo, com todos a enganar todos os outros, e o quarteto principal a ter oponentes incrivelmente estúpidos para além de fundos aparentemente ilimitados para realizar as suas ilusões implausíveis (de que serve livrar-se de um mágico lançando-o num lago num cofre fechado do qual se sabe que é um adereço usado para espetáculos de fuga?). Ver Mestres da Ilusão 2 é como ver uma gravação de um ato mágico sabendo que as ilusões e a magia são feitas digitalmente, e depois o mágico ainda explica atrevidamente como fez a magia, mas de uma forma de que não podia ter sido feita. P.S. Pergunto-me realmente quanto é o elenco de Daniel Radcliffe o resultado de os cineastas acharem engraçado ter Harry Potter num filme sobre feiticeiros.

For me, a quality sequel on a similar level to the first part. On the plus side, Daniel Radcliffe (though ironically, I expected him to be a magician too) and the seductive Lizzy Caplan add some pizzazz. It's true that the story is too overwrought and chaotic in places, making you feel that either you or the director are getting lost, but in the end it results in another great game of twists and surprises that I can't complain about. Compared to other blockbusters, Now You See Me 2 certainly doesn't come across as naive or silly, and also, who would expect a film focusing on tricks, illusions and magic to have an exceedingly excellent story? That's like complaining that there's no action or blood in the drama genre. The magic is top notch. There are two highlights in the film and that is the card/chip scene and the final climax of the four riders, it takes your breath away intensely with the support of a great soundtrack. The ultimate entertainment that is great to watch and think about. Story 8/10, Atmosphere 8/10, Gore 0/10, Visuals 9/10, Action 7/10, Suspense 7/10, Humour 6/10. Entertainment 8/10. 80%

The fact that it's completely, utterly, truly, truly moronic (I was actually on the verge of blowing my own head off at the end) wouldn't have mattered in principle if the film had exploited the potential of its subjects, which is enormous. The characters do perform a variety of spectacular tricks, but we wouldn't even hazard a guess as to whether the actors could pull off even a single one of them, given how terribly digital it all is. Sequences of ingenious team tricks, whose timing and spatial distribution could be accentuated with an elaborate one-take shot, are destroyed by countless cuts and slow-motion sequences along the lines of "The second one from the left, or the third one from the right. Basically, the one in the trench coat. Here, I'd better show you." Moreover, in terms of dispensing information, the film doesn't really know how to approach the viewer, and shyly gropes its way to where it wants to let the audience go, even though they’ve long since lost interest in digging through the overcomplicated death-in-a-family-evil-corporation-our-privacy-revenge-mafia-blablabla plot. All my love, however, goes to Lizzy Caplan, who steals any scene she appears in and I...I...I just love her.

The first installment was entertaining, the second one not so much, to the point of boring me. The whole film felt like someone was trying so hard to fill it with interesting action until he went too far and the whole thing blew up in his face like in "The Begum's Fortune." I was having fun only in the moments when Lizzy Caplan got to speak. I just wish there had been more of them.

Sure, the script is a bit too convoluted, and the plot isn't really that well-developed. Perhaps it's even a bit too confusing at times, but still, this is exactly what I expected from the movie. It's really action-packed, it's a great ride, and there are excellent special effects, whether they're magical or digital, that worked for me. I had a great time with it.
