  Magic's appeal is in making the audience think "HOW did they do that?!?" Now You See Me wants you be amazed and entertained at its tricks, but the mystery and appeal of its tricks is lost, because thanks to the clear use of CGI and camera trickery, you *know* how it was done - it was faked. That's not to say it's not an enjoyable film. It's fun, and it keeps moving at a brisk pace, but the moments when they clearly think they are astonishing the audience fall a little flat; and those are meant to be key moments of the film. It's this overconfidence (along with being a bit predictable) that is the film's only real flaw. The characters (and the film itself), while entertaining, are all a bit too smug for their own good. While the marketing focus is on the magic, just as much if not more screentime focuses on Mark Ruffalo's detective as he pursues them. He does a fine job, though in a couple scenes he plays it a bit too hammy. Eisenberg and Harrelson, reuniting here after Zombieland, are the most fun to watch. Entertaining? Sure. But I think I was expecting a little more from it, and a little less in the way of CG that really takes away from the impressiveness of the practical tricks. The summer release date is a bit questionable as well. This film is going to vanish (no pun intended) pretty quickly in a crowded summer market. It would have been much better suited for a late-winter or early-fall release.

  Considering the cast (and to a lesser extent, the director), this has some real potential to be awesome.

• Kevin M

  
  "Now You See Me" looks like a sleek and smart magician's tale: the tricks appear to be even more shock-inducing than those in Christopher Nolan's "The Prestige"... and who doesn't love Morgan Freeman?

• Nastassia J

  
  Eisenberg, Hulk, Morgan Freeman, Baby Franco, that Amy Adams look-alike. Yes, yes, three times yes!

• Daniel P

  
  Jesse Eisenberg (lookin' good!), Mark Ruffalo, *Isla Fisher*, Melanie Laurent!! A Franco brother!! NEED TO SEE.
