pierot and I just got back from 'Now You See Me'.
Short version, it was an awesome heist movie and you should all go and see it.
Long version, it was a really good heist movie. It wasn't any more than that - the characters were basically self obsessed narcissists, with less depth and more surface tension, there was a pseudo-love story which never really got going, the dialogue was so-so and the big reveal was really more of a medium sized reveal.
But none of that really mattered, because, let's face it, no one there is expecting it to be a movie with heart, or soul, or to say anything about us or the world we live in. You go there to see Ocean's Magicians or possibly the Fast and the Magical and you love and appreciate it for the slick, fast moving, gleaming, arrogant spectacle that it is.
So sayeth the Sally.
