10 Upcoming Movie Blockbusters That Could Be Disasters
4. Now You See Me: The Second Act
Hey, you remember that movie Now You See Me right? The one with Jesse Eisenberg being an insufferably smug git and Mark Ruffalo was the detective chasing him and his band of magicians? It was the movie that kept talking about how amazing magic is, and then executed most of the magic acts with obvious CGI. It wasnt very good, but somehow was successful enough to get a sequel greenlit; now thats an impressive trick. Nearly all the cast will return, with newcomer Daniel Radcliffe playing the son of Michael Caines character, who is seeking revenge for the events of the original. Hopefully, the sequel will remind the audience what those events were since they probably forgot what happened ten minutes after they left the cinema. The Second Act is a prime example of a something being produced because the original was a hit, and not because theres a new story to tell. The cast obviously enjoyed the experience enough to return, but time will tell if audiences feel the same way.
