I decided to do my reviews on the new movie called Now You
See Me. On Rotten Tomatoes it gave the movie a rating of 49%. The first review
that I found wasn't a good review. The critic, from USA today, talked about the
characters, technique/style, and the plot. He began by saying how even though
they had an amazing crew they weren't able to pull off the film. He also talked
about what kind of characters
they
played in the film. He also stated that the technique in the film didn't remind
him of magic but mostly just using a lot of edits and special effects. Then
finally he talked about the plot and what the story-line was about. Throughout
his review the tone of his voice was very steady but at some points having a
little bit of attitude.
The other review that I found from the movie Now You See Me is also from Rotten
Tomatoes. The critic, Jim Schembri, talks about how amazing the casting crew
was and how it and how the movie portrayed magic in a dazzling way. He started
off by talking about the summary of the movie but he didn’t really explain any
of the characters or give support to how he thought that the magic was done
very well. His tone throughout the review sounded excited and it made it seem as
if he liked the movie more.
“Clever, original, wildly improbable, wildly enjoyable and
directed with all the necessary flash and dazzle by French pop-movie maker
Louis Leterrier (Transporter 1&2; Unleashed; The Incredible Hulk; Clash of
the Titans), the film combines the pleasure of a really well-engineered heist
movie with a twisty-turny, topsy-turvy plot full of wit, double-takes and
sleight-of-camera.”(Jim Schembri). I believe that this quote explains how well
put the movie was and how the magic was original. It also explains how when
people would watch this that they will be surprised by the plot. “Boasting a
terrific cast and a flimsy plot whose logic disappears faster than a rabbit in
a hat, Now struggles to pull off its cinematic sleights of hand.”(USA today).
This quote explains how even though there was an amazing cast it still wasn’t
enough to make the movie good. It also explains how they didn’t believe the
magic was portrayed well in the movie.
From both of the reviews that I read I would of believed
more from the one by the critic from USA today. This is why because he goes
into more detail as to why the plot was confusing and how the magic was tacky
and mostly made my special effects. The other review he didn’t give specifics
as to why he loved the movie and why the thought the characters were good for
this film.
If I had to write a review about the moive Now You See Me then I would include all
the characters and talk about which ones did a good job. Id also talk about the
the plot and how the magic was portrayed.
Good start; Nice work. I didn't see this movie, but it looked interesting. Maybe try to make it a little more interactive by adding pics/video.
