This is the first time I've ever seen someone guess the plotwist of this movie, good job Alex!
You definitely are saying that to make yourself feel better lolol
PROPS!
You 100% guessed it!
@@sophroniastopher15 what
That Reaction to being Right was Priceless
That was not the twist to this film at all, the twist was that he was Shrike’s son and Jack was alive.
I was an extra in this one. Fun to work on. I give Isla a fistbump after she escapes the tank. Lol
That's awesome! Congrats on getting that work. We're you in any other scenes that we can't see you in? How was that scene filmed?
Well you would have cause if the stories are true she was actually in real danger at one point during that escape scene and that's one of the reasons she didn't come back in the second movie cause she feared for her life
@@Thedude8450she's also very pregnant
@@Thedude8450Yeah, I don't know where that story came from. She was never in danger while we were filming. Worst case scenario, she might've gotten some water up her nose. Lol
@@NickSmith-qp2yu she legit says it in an interview with Jesse, so all this shows is your lying LMAO
Ratings mean nothing! This movie is so much fun, very well done, super entertaining. Loved it
2nd one was better in alot of ways imo but ya both are good
I've always disagreed with most of the Rotten Tomatoes ratings I've seen. IMDb's audience scores seem to line up far better with my personal opinions on the movies I watch. Case in point, Now You See Me has a pretty decent 7.2 on IMDb.
I never understood why it got such bad ratings. Sometimes it’s just a timing thing, sometimes it’s just about what kind of people actually go on to rate things. Almost every person I’ve ever seen react to it and every person I know who’s watched it had a great time. It’s just a really fun and entertaining movie. I’ve watched it a couple times, it’s fun even knowing the twists just because the pacing and effects are fun to watch
@@ccink3931the only part of 2 I like better is the final trick. Everything else, I much prefer the mood and chemistry of the first. It definitely has its moments though
@@kauinoa2004 Most negative feedback are about how it was unrealistic but like bro let the movie breathe this is a movie about MAGIC for crying out loud, and who cares if they didn't write the trick down to the minute details, the tricks would be very detailed if they were possible but glad the movie left most explanations out because it would be hard to argue for logic of something near impossible to do.
Hey guys! Editor here, hope you enjoyed the reaction!
I’m sorry that I had to cut so many scenes and edit some parts a bit weirdly, but it took a whopping 21 ATTEMPTS get past copyright on this one, so I hope you’ll understand!
Anyways, hope you enjoy and much love! Next week we got Phantom Menace 😈
Thanks for sticking with it for 21 attempts!! :)
Blackjack! Lol
i forget morgan freeman was in this, of course he is😂😂😂😂😂
Bonjour
I’ve been looking forward to phantom menace for so long!! Love the vids!
3:02 Eisenberg’s card trick in the opening scene is interesting because if you slow it down to 0.25x speed, the 7 of Diamonds can be seen for a few more frames than the other cards. It’s subconsciously implanting the same card in the audience’s head so odds are he’ll perform the same card trick on us too. I also picked the 7 of Diamonds so it blew my mind the first time watching.
An unpopular opinion, this is one of my all time favorite movies. I have seen all the legends, Tarantino, Scorsese, fincher, you name it, and I loved them all. but idk why, this movie always gets me, and I still see it every half a year on repeat
Same.
Fantastic movie! I think I read they are possibly doing a 3rd?!?
@@user-yl2up3sj7u it just got confirmed lately
I'm with you.
The Airplane scene is one of my favourites in the movie - and one I use to teach children about con artists :)
@@BaalsMistress that's actually kinda genius, not kinda actually, it's awesome.
Fun fact: if it hasn't already been brought up. In some of the shots of the scene where Isla Fisher is in the water tank during her introduction, there was a technical error where she was stuck in the tank briefly, and nearly drowned. Some of the reactions on the film are genuine reactions to her panic.
I never understood why this movie got mediocre reviews. I LOVE this movie! So glad you reacted to it! Also, you’re the first person I’ve seen guess the twist about the fifth horseman. Well done!
The opening scene with Isla Fisher is more difficult to watch knowing that she really almost died filming it. Something went wrong and nobody knew because they thought she was acting the scene. Scary shit.
Wait really? I never heard that part. That’s terrifying! So glad she was ok!
Yeah I didn't know that either! My goodness.
They should’ve given her a safety gesture. Goodness. Poor girl.
@@betteryourlife865I would have flipped off the camera or flashed my tits (if I was a woman) so they know like "ok this isn't allowed in movie, somthing is wrong" 😂
I think they used part of that take in the movie too.
The Woody Jesse Duo was legendary they did Zombieland together too right?
Yes.
Correct
a rule i live by: rotten tomato critic ratings mean absolutely NOTHING. cinematography is extremely subjective. some critics praise nolan or fincher for being geniuses, others believe their works are too intense and dark (when it comes to visuals) and prefer wes anderson or gretta gerwig instead. it’s best not to refer to other opinions at all and just make your own judgement of a film, but if you really must, you can usually rely on the audience because they can have fun, unlike critics :) this is a rule that applies to some of my all-time favourite films, critics rate them 30-50%, but audience ratings are 70-80% lol
“21 seconds ago” is the fastest i’ve ever clicked on a vid 😭
Mine was 4 minutes.
33
Yooo 21 minutes ago now whos gonna be 2.1 hrs ago then 21 hrs then 2.1 days then 21 days
i forget morgan freeman was in this, of course he is😂😂😂😂😂
Mine is 0 seconds
4:50 THANK YOU. Finally someone says it. That's where I draw the line too... potential harm is not fun. Playing into fear is not fun. Magic is fun when it's magical not when it's horrifying.
Not to say you can't enjoy horror, but please seperate horror shows from magic shows so I know which one to sign up for. Ty
You wouldn't like Dan Sperry or Penn and Teller then lol
I was completely blown away by *NOW YOU SEE ME*. The movie exceeded my expectations in every way. The plot was incredibly clever and kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. The performances were outstanding, especially by the ensemble cast. I loved how the film blended illusion and magic with an intricate heist story. The twists and turns had me guessing until the very end, and the resolution was satisfying. The visual effects were also top-notch and really added to the overall experience. I can't believe I waited this long to watch *NOW YOU SEE ME*, but I'm so glad I finally did. It's definitely a must-watch for anyone who enjoys mind-bending mysteries and thrilling action.
OMG YESSSSS!!!!!! Now You See Me & Now You See Me 2 ARE SO UNDERRATED MOVIES!!!!!! They're my most fave magic movies!!!!! Please watch the 2nd movie!!!!!!! The 2nd movie has a very well known magician btw! 🥰❤🦁⚡
Also, there's going to be a Now You See Me 3!!!!! The movie was just greenlit in November 2023!!!!!!!
Im super excited & so hyped!!!!!!!
😍😊❤❤😊😍
Was the third really greenlit? I was SO sad when they didn’t release any news of pursuing a trilogy besides fan theories after the second one happened. I loved the cast too
They're good movies, but The Prestige is much better. Slower pacing, but the final reveal is so much better than this film.
@@casontrawick6290i don't think so. There were talks about the 3rd movie wanting to be greenlit but never happened until now.
@@blacksheep_edge1412most people like fast pace movies & i do luv the ending as well. I like it when movies just get straight into the action, i don't like the waiting game. But hey, u do u. 🤷🏻♀️
Okey but they missed the chance of naming the second movie now you don't
This movie is one of my favorites! I love showing it to my friends who’ve never seen it, so I’m so pumped to see your reaction to it!
I swear they are more wizards then Magicians in the second one. Honestly in both. But the movies are just so good, the acting, the way they go about the magic, and telling how they did it. I'm so glad they are going through with making the 3rd one! Also, the clip of Isla Fisher is the take where she actually was stuck and drowning. Terrible way to go about it, showing her and the audience her real fear, but I guess....That's art lmao
Great reaction! 😊
This is one of my favorite comfort movies. It's got a great cast, a great storyline, and it does keep you guessing. And I love all of the magic tricks.
You definitely need to watch the sequel "Now You See Me 2" fairy soon. The magic tricks in that movie are even better.
Looking forward to your next reaction. 😊
Woody Harrelson is movie gold.
@@donjackson5522 I always love him with Jessie Eisenberg
@@santeri5921 I think you mean Jasper Eichensteel
Movie : "tonight we're gonna rob a bank"
Alex : wait for real?!
Did he just sum up the entire movie? 😂
I love that anytime Joseph Eisengrad appears in a film you call him Joseph Eisengrad 😂💀
I'm gonna be really sad if you don't end up watching the second one. Just as mind blowing as the first... Loved watching your reaction to the entire thing. Perfect.
I LOVE that you predicted the twist, then were still shocked when the twist happened.
I'm a big fan of this movie. It definitely isn't the best told story ever, but it's insanely entertaining and isn't that the point?
Also, if you really are interested in digging into magic, there are a couple of phenomenal magicians on TH-cam that talk about magic and even reacted to this movie. Their channels are Chris Ramsay and WES Barker. A word of warning though- magic is all about what you don't understand. The more you learn the more you see technique instead of magic, which is still interesting but not the same.
This has got to be one of the best original flicks I have seen in a long time. You know it's special when you an older middle aged guy who suddenly wants to get one of those magic starter sets for kids, right?
Nah this reaction just made me remember why I adored this movie back when it came out!😂
Great prediction btw! thnx for watching this film ✨
This is a great example of why you shouldn't pay any attention to ratings. This is an excellent movie. Hope you watch the next one.
Cant wait to see your reaction to the 2nd movie, that one is a biiiig banger too, I really did like that!
My favorite part of this so far is Alex hiding off screen and moving the chair with his foot to get the intro 🤣
Now You See Me 2 "action scenes" (aka "magic" scenes) popped off.
seeing Alex react to this makes me kinda hope he will react to the Prestige one day. talk about a movie about magic with twists.
I really love Now You See Me... It is such an underrated movie and the second one I really love too!!! It's just as underrated as Jumper
Absolutely loved the 2nd one! A bit upset that Isla didn’t return for it but still so good.
You don't "get hypnotized," you hypnotize yourself. It only works if you believe that you're being hypnotized by an authoritative figure.
Yeah the movie is awesome. IDK why it doesn't have great reviews. I can see the second movie not be AS high, but even it was good, but this one is really great.
I am SO happy you loved this movie! It's honestly one of my favorites, the writing is spectacular and the cast - wow. Imagine working with Michael Caine AND Morgan Freeman in the same room. Great video, Alex!
4:46 fun fact,the actor actually did it herself with no stunt double and her acting inside was real,she was really screaming for them to open the cage
The esoteric meaning of those cards apply very well to each of the characters individually and as a whole. The cards speak of a choice to change and use their individual knowledge as a group for a higher calling.
I'm so sorry you had to go through this experience. I believe there are support groups to help you recover.
You've got to see the sequel featuring an amazingly creepy Dan Radcliffe!
I loved this movie! And I NEVER pay attention to Rotten Tomatoes and reviewers. The cast drew me to the movie and I was not disappointed. I even like the sequel but not as well as this one. Thank you for the first reaction I've seen of this gem.
0:56 so happy he’s back. Hope you two have an exceptional holidays.
Dude, I am so happy that you finally watched this. It's one of my favorite movies!! It has one of the best plot twists ever.
14:36 that's probably one of the best description of Morgan's voice ever dude.
Can’t wait for more of the boys!
I gotta say, dude, I subscribe to several other movie reaction channels but you're by far the most entertaining to watch. You have great reactions . . . and I think your George McFly laugh is funny as hell! Keep up the great work! (are you really a lawyer??)
Amazing reaction, this movie deserves much more attention ❤️
The cast is cool, and Woody Harreldon is a charismatic actor, he also has a very cool role in The Hunger Games trilogy, where Jennifer Lawrence (The Mystic from X-Men) also plays, as well as an incredible series, True Detective, a series where Matthew McConaughey also plays with Woody. This series definitely needs to be seen!
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic"
(In Darth Maul voice) "I was hoping for Star Wars, why are you here?"
I got your back bro… 3 mins is a long time. That’s hard work
this is one of my all time favorite movies, it’s clever and witty and the plot twists got me every time. crazy u got the ending!!
Can't wait to see you watch part 2! Do it immediately plz!
I love this movie so much, one of my top comfort movies 😍
The second one is also incredible, and a lot of the card tricks is real bc the actor of Jack Wilder actually learned card handling tricks
Fun fact He had to learn to actually throw cards for the role. The mimicry bit is still one of my favorite parts
This is one of the most entertaining movies I had seen in a very long time. It was just so much fun to watch that I've watched it over a few dozen times and I never get tired of it. The second one is pretty good too. But yeah, don't get the score it got in Rotten Tomatoes. I thought movies are supposed to be entertaining....8-)
Great reaction, Alex. And yeah, even I was amazed when you guessed it. Very well done, sir!!!!
Now somebody get him to watch the movie (Upgrade).
Fr 2 is
Good
What a happy surprise..... I was just scrolling though looking for something to watch (obviously lol) and this popped up..... I didn't watch the movie for the first time until a few months ago.... I loved it though and being a sub for so long I know you are going to as well!
This movie is so good!!!!
It was so funny when you guessed the plot twist correctly, props to you!
Also now I want to watch the second one (I watched this one recently) and you should too!! That one has an INSANE card trick that if I remember correctly is not cgi but they did do it themselves (I think they used like nylon and stuff, but still, practical effects are dope)
Hold up, while this is a good movie, I thought Star Wars was every other week? I was expecting Phantom Menace today!!!!
Damn ive been waiting for this finally its Here 💯🔥
👏 This was the 1st time I've seen someone guess who the 5th Horseman was ahead of time! When I 1st watched it, I had him as a suspect, but also suspected 2 others.
I actually think this deserves a better rating than they say. Now to me part 2 is even better. 😍
I knew you’d like this! And I am so happy you finally watched I’m excited for you to watch the next one 😁
As a magician, I can personally atest that this movie is 100% accurate. Every time I do a card trick, I've got at least three women trying to take me home. It gets so tiring because I'm just a nerd who does card tricks, why can't they control themselves? Sheesh! And don't even get me started about how easy it is to make things appear out of thin air and how I'm definitely always the smartest guy in the room. It gets pretty boring being one of the biggest geniuses ever, we magicians have a really rough life.
And if you believed any of that then I've got some swamp land you may be interested in. This movie was entertaining but it did a very poor job of portraying magic in a realistic manner and my biggest problem with it was how they made all the magicians such egotistical jerks and know-it-alls. That is a perception we real magicians fight against every time we perform. You treat your audience well, you don't belittle them and act all smug and crap. Anyway, loved the ending to this one but I certainly wouldn't look at it as any kind of magician documentary. We're not that cool.
This movie wasn't about every day respectable normal magicians. It was about exceptionaly talented individuals (prodigies within that line of work you could say) with flawed personalities because very often highly talented people are also isolated people and feeling isolated from people doesnt usualy bring out the best in you. Also in the end they where not that egotistical considering they pulled a few robin hood actions and helped some people. Also if your a hot looking guy who appears charming and smart, you can probably score some girls to come to a hotel or room with you. I doubt the fact he was a magician was the reason. It was that he was young, good looking and appeared smart because of his tricks, but he could achieved the same thing reading poetry or acting a mysterious flirt. It is totaly believable a girl went with him to his hotel room after the trick. Also most magicians dont include flats or buildings for their card tricks. This shows the dude either has money, or influence. Both of which can also be atractive to women.
I get your frustrations, but your not looking at the actual context of the situation. The girl going with the guy wasn't about the magic tricks alone. And the movie isn't about magicians doing every day magician things. It's a heist/revange story with thieves and con artists who also happen to magicians/illusionists. And very talented ones at that.
Your critism is like watching a movie about a prodigy anyone (in music, in art, in sports) who doesnt have the most sparkling personality and be like ''normal people who do these things for a living dont act like this''. Yeah but thats the thing isn't it? ''Normal'' people. Movies, shows, stories, are rarely about ''normal'' people. It's usualy about the especialy talented/unusual types. The ones that have more room for character growth. Flawed personalities.
I'm waiting for more Star Wars. I hope you react to every episode :D
Hey Alex, give The Prestige a watch. You will absolutely love it if you are looking for good suspense and mystery, it has Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman and Michael Caine too.
My guy, you know im all ready subscribed. You're my favorite reaction channel you ass clown. 😂 Hope you do Now You See Me 2. Sending good vibes your way. 😊
I clicked immediately, can't wait!
This movie was the shit growing up and every time i watched it again i understood more tricks as i grew up
Bro you should def do the 2nd one soon you’ll love it!
I was about to say I am waiting eagerly for the next Star Wars reaction but I see a reply to expect it next week 😊
After watching a few other movie reaction channels, I gotta say your editing is unmatched. Please never change it
Please do "now you see me 2" too😍
This movie and its sequel are so insanely fun! Like, it's a heist movie with magicians, I'm not expecting highbrow art here but it sure did deliver exactly what I wanted from a heist movie with magicians
This is one of those movies you have to watch just to have some fun, and it delivers exactly that. The second one is pretty cool too
Bro Please Watch " LORD OF THE RINGS" you are missing out most incredible and Marvelous movie 🔥🎗️
This is yet another example of why I NEVER trust Rotten Tomatoes and other critics. Now You See Me is a GREAT film. Great characters, great plot, great twists, great cast ... a great original movie. The sequel is just as good.
One of my favorite movies ever, Alex! My dad was an amateur magician; he'd have LOVED this. I always think of him when I watch it. LOVE your reaction! And btw, DID YOU KNOW THERE'S A SEQUEL? NOW YOU SEE ME 2--AND IT'S REALLY FUN... hope you'll react to that one as well!
0:40 One think about going by ratings and audience reviews is that sometime something is a hidden gem. a very good example is Breaking Bad, critical ratings was amazing, but audience reception wasn't for the first few episodes
Chop chop TH-cam boy we want season 2 of The Boys❤ love that you’re checking this movie out, was one of my favorites as a kid. One of the ones I left in the DVD player for days and didn’t complain lol
there's a quote from black sails that fits this movie perfectly well: "to be underestimated is an incredibly gift"
5:23 Funny youu should say that, if I remember rightly, the filming of this stunt actually *did* go wrong, in one take, where the chains on Isla Fisher's handcuffs got stuck on the bottom of the tank, and her attempts to signal the crew were mistaken for her just playing the role, since that is what the character's meant to do, meaning she was stuck underwater fro 3 minuites before the stunt co-ordinator finally realised the issue.
Fun Fact: Piranhas don't actually swarm around people, they actually stay away from us. Like all fish, they stay away from anything bigger than them.
I loved this movie in the theatre and the many times I’ve watched it since. It’s funny, exciting and well written. The actors are all excellent, nothing but a brilliant thrill ride. I loved it was Mark Ruffalo at the end and Jesse’s character realizes he was never the smartest person in the room.
During the scene in the beginning when the girl trapped her self in the glass tank of water. She did actually get stuck and (almost really drowned behind the scenes when the movie was getting made).
This was one of the first dates I went on with my now-husband, to see this in theaters. I really enjoyed the movie because it had just enough information shown to almost guess the plot and good twists that made me excited to know more.
This is my first video of yours I’m seeing I clicked coz I don’t see a lot of people react to this movie and I’m so glad I did!! Love this vid and glad you liked the movie
just wanna say I found your channel just a few days ago and have not been able to stop watching since
The leading lady in this movie is married to sascha baron cohen in real life (Borat) and they are adorable together
First time watching your channel and this is my favorite movie of all time. I love how you got chills at every turn. That’s how it felt when I watched it the first time… and every time after that.😂 I’m subscribing 😁 watch the second one!! You will love it!
The french woman, is the actress who played Shoshanna, in Inglorious Basterds.
0:48... I thought you would say that you would watch the Star Wars Holiday special (1978). Oh, wouldn't that be a treat.
You SO should watch the second movie!! I loved your reaction when you realized you where right! 🎉 ❤
Also, I have been Hypnotized before Once upon a time in Vegas 😂
I have to say you are one Of the few youtubers, whos ad's i enjoy. even if i dont buy what you are selling Love to see the creativity you bring ❤😊 amazing👍
Your idea behind why you guessed Mark as the fifth horseman is spot on. Most people don’t get that during the movie
My college hosted a hypnotist and I was one of the group that ended up on stage.
That shit is not fake. I ugly bawled my eyes out in front of 600+ of my peers cuz he “put us on a roller coaster”, which I’m terrified of.
It’s a weird feeling, like the back of your brain is fully aware and knows it’s ridiculous, but the front controlling part of your brain is fully in it.
fun fact the tank trick in the beginning o the movie; the actress was actually drowning and the film director just thought she was really committed to the part
I was hypnotized, i have it on video. I remember the whole thing, while my friend remembered nothing until the next day and only bits.
Great editing, great reaction and I always love your energy. This movie took me by surprise also. Keep it up. You should definitely check out “ The Legend if Billie Jean.” A movie with Christian and Helen Slater. An absolute must for 80’s movies.
You should watch "The Prestige", another great movie about magic. Has Wolverine and Batman in it (aka Hue Jackman and Christian Bale)!
i feel like this guy always watched the most obsure movies that everyone hates but secretly loves and I'm always happy to see it. I never see people react to these movies but I can always count on Alex to have the exact movies I love
Damn I been busy I ain’t know this banger dropped loved this movie 😭 bout to love this reaction I’m sure of it
From the first time I saw this opening weekend, I LOVED it! Very cool and original in so many ways at that time. My favorite part is when JE tosses the cuffs onto Ruffalo! One of the coolest moves EVER!!🎉🎉 And yes, most times it does seem like WH is mixing himself with bit of his characters. His bit about the FBI guy cross dressing is always 3 snaps in a circle!😄 Everyone was perfect in their roles. And Alex, the segment where the cards are being used as weapons being tossed at Ruffalo, if I hadn't seen long ago a CSI episode that someone can be killed by doing it, I'd not have taken it seriously in this film.
I've watched this movie at least 8-10 times once it got to Tv. It's always fun and awesome. 😊 The 2nd one is not quite as good but worth watching, as it's fun too.
