It's impossible to dislike NYSM2, a big blousy movie that is giddily in love with its own preposterousness.

Now You See Me 2 is marginally better than its underwhelming 2013 predecessor thanks to new cast additions, but still over-explains and under-delivers.

A needlessly complicated series of bluffs and double-bluffs, which is then unpicked during huge chunks of shouty, self-congratulatory exposition.

The smoke-and-mirrors story flies all over the place and never firmly lands anywhere.
