| 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. | ||
| My Thoughts: | ||
| Meh. Sometimes movies are great as sequels, and sometimes they are even better being left alone. Though it had a fairly sturdy plot, it was no way near as thrilling as the original. I did enjoy the fact that they kept most of the same cast, and I also did not hate the additions of Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter) and Lizzy Caplan (Mean Girls). The problem for me was that the entire movie seemed too cheesy, Daniel Radcliffe’s character resembled pedophile way too much, and Mark Ruffalo just seemed way too whiney. The dark and cool original story was essentially nowhere to be found, and the ending was not at all the “didn’t see it coming” factor that I loved so much about the first. | ||
