I love Amazon, it is a great way to shop. And one of the reasons I say this is because I am able to read the reviews previous to a purchase to determine whether my money would be well spent. When reading the reviews for this movie I was surprised by the few negative reviews, compared to the overwhelming number of positive reviews. So, we purchased the movie and for the life of me I can not understand one single negative review. Now You See Me has got to be one of the best, cleanest ( no filthy language or sex scenes) yet lots of action and fun films I have had the pleasure to watch; and, It was interesting to see the reality behind the "magic" ! So I have determined that those who wrote negative reviews about this movie would most likely be unhappy if they were given a gold rope studded with precious gems to hang themselves with. That's my truth and I am sticking to it! Now You See Me is a wonderful, fun filled movie, fit for any family! I can't wait until July when the next one premiers. Buy this movie, you will be glad you did~*~

Here is a clever combination of a heist movie with magic. As you would then expect, it is quite slick in its presentation and many of its characters. There are four magicians who meet and combine forces as "The Four Horseman" to enact four great magic acts. If that sounds a bit fantastic, it's because there is slight fantasy element here - the four individuals get together hoping to become part of the "eye", a group of master magicians who protect magic. The special effects for the magic scenes are sometimes over the top (one of the floats in a bubble) but I enjoyed them. If fantasy isn't your thing though, don't worry because it's not a large part of the movie so you may still enjoy it.

Besides the magic side of things, there are some good chase scenes and hand-to-hand fighting. The FBI and others pursue the magicians across a few different cities since they are stealing money; however, they don't keep the money so they are very much like Robin Hood. As you would expect/hope after looking over the cast list, the acting is quite good. My favorite was Jesse Eisenberg's magician character, though he seemed a LOT like the way he played Mark Zuckerberg in "The Social Network". All of the characters are well fleshed out. Throughout there is a bit of intrigue also because you know someone is behind the work fo the Four Horsemen, but it's difficult to guess who. After the initial credits, there's a final scene which makes it clear a sequel is planned.

I heard different things about this movie. It seemed to shoot in and out of theaters quickly and was not advertised a huge amount.

Once it came out on Blu I waited a little and once the used price dropped I picked it up and I am so glad I did. The PQ and AQ are outstanding and the over-all flow, cinematography and soundtrack of this movie are very well done.

One thing about this movie is that you need to pay attention to all the little details because in the end everything adds up to making the ending equate to a semi-logical situation. There are many parts which defy realism and common sense, however you need to push that aside and simply enjoy the movie.

Now You See Me has an amazing cast and somehow they all work perfectly together in every way shape and form. Some were saying that there was not a lot of character development with the magicians, however this movie is not about the magicians, it's about the chase and trying to find them.

In 2013 there were only a few movies which stood out to me. World War Z, This is the End and Now You See Me. There are so many movies which are just fluff and don't seem to have it together. Now You See Me was a great fun movie and I highly recommend checking it out.

I loved the updated "Robin Hood" concept, and the special effects surrounding the "magic" are great. The ensemble of stars was delightful - they played so well off each other and gave the movie a real feeling of camraderie that I greatly enjoyed. A lot of action, there was almost always something important happening on the screen and takes your full attention, you don't want to miss any of the little clues or details. I felt a little bit tired out at the end of the movie, there had been so much going on, LOL. All in all, a good enjoyable film, refreshing for its lack of bloody violence and sex but still plenty of action.

Had been wanting to see the second in the series but wanted to see this one first. Lots of times the sequel can stand on its own, but in this case I'm glad we watched this one first. There's a lot of the story that would have been confusing without seeing them in order.

My wife and I both liked this quite a bit. The actors were all entertaining and the story was pretty creative. Watching this back to back with the sequel kept all the small details fresh in our minds and made for an enjoyable evening.
