I don't understand all the hate for this movie. It accomplished the same ends as the first one, and even exceeded it in some ways.
Just like the first, it started with a simple plot, added in some humor and dazzling magic tricks, and then brought in a twist at the end. Very fun movie, with complex characters.
Sure, it's not a FANTASTIC movie. But I don't think it was meant to be an award- winner or anything. It celebrates the mystery and magic of illusion, and reminds viewers that even today, audiences can still be fooled, if the magician has just enough intuition ( and money) to pull it off.
I would've given 10 stars, but the romance was poorly executed, and some of the plot elements bothered me. Loved it though. Don't believe the negative reviews. Watch it for yourself and see what you think. do not apprehend all the hate for this film. It executed the same ends as the first one, and even handed it in some methods.
