Hook:
“It is one of the blessings of old friends that you
can afford to be stupid with them”
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.
How do crusading magicians will reunite? What problems are they going to face
together? Are they going to succeed in solvingit? How?

How predictable
or unpredictable
was the plot?
PREDICTABLEBecause like in the previous version
of this movie which is Now You See
Me they overcome these problems
safely. Even this movie is just
starting, I already predict that they
can overcome what problem they
are going to face.

4. Which were your

Why?
THEMES/the “Big
Picture” or
message
To the movie
Examples: friendship,
Courage, love)
When the four Horsemen started to plan for their mission. Their
mission is to steal the chip. The chip allow the user to decrypt and access
any electronic device around the world. First plan is to learn on how they going
to steal the chip. I like on how they train. My favorite scene is the training
because their training improves their potential on using the cards that they can
use for their mission. They help each other for mastering the tricks. They believe
on the different forte that each member has. They didn’t get selfish. They always
share their opinions during the training.

Because they are willing to sacrifice
their lives for the safety of many people
that can affect by the chip. They have
unity and also they are
intelligent.

I like the different tricks that
each of them have. Each trick
was used by each of them to
defeat and land their enemy in
jail. They also use their tricks in
getting the chip and escape in
the strict guards who is
guarding it.
"NowYou See Me 2," whichreunitesthe crusadingmagiciansforanother

Now You See Me 2 is a good sequel and not too
mature. Now You See Me 2 is entertaining and has a good, original
story. It doesn't feel like a total repeat. Like the first one, there isn't really
much mature content. There is a little bit of swearing and action, but not
too much. It's a good choice for families with older kids. The movie is fun
but keeps you interested. It is a bit slow at parts, but it picks back up. It is
really good, especiallyif you liked the first one. Most kids 11 and up
should be okay. The only thing, which applies to anyone, is you have to be
paying attention. There is a lot going on. Overall, though, I highly
recommend it.
