MAGIC IS FUN
魔術(shù)有意思

The sole reason that the Now You See Me franchise works is that magic is fun. Throughout Now You See Me 2, the audience is as valuable a member of the team as each of the Horsemen. The magic-peddling Robin-Hood's count on the anonymity of crowds, the engagement of each person bearing witness to their tricks, and the loyalty of their fans to help them stay the iconic, free performers they have come to be. The good news is that Now You See Me 2 has plenty of magic mixed in with all the practicality.
《驚天魔盜團》系列影片秉承的唯一理念就是魔術(shù)很有意思。在整部《驚天魔盜團2》中，觀眾和每位騎士一樣，都是團隊中有價值的一員。傳播魔術(shù)的羅賓漢需要匿名人群；每個人都要參與見證他們的戲法；忠誠的粉絲會幫助他們繼續(xù)作獨一無二的自由表演者，就像他們已經(jīng)成為的樣子。好消息是《驚天魔盜團2》里有很多完全可以實現(xiàn)的魔術(shù)實例。

NEW CAST MEMBERS KEEP THE FUN ALIVE
新陣容讓觀影樂趣只增不減

There were quite a few additions to the cast for this chapter in the Horsemen's saga. Daniel Radcliffe is engaging and beguiling as the mysterious source behind some truly surprising twists. Sanaa Lathan and David Warshofsky are an interesting duo, although they didn't get enough screen time to truly steal any part of the show. Tsai Chin and Jay Chou are bit players in screen time only. They provide some serious gravitas to the middle portion of the film.
在本章騎士傳奇中增加了許多新面孔。丹尼爾·雷德克里夫加盟，假扮了驚天情節(jié)背后的神秘力量。盡管桑娜·萊瑟和大衛(wèi)·沃肖夫斯基出鏡時間并不長，也沒有真正拿到多少戲份，但他們還是組成了很有意思的二人組。周采芹和周杰倫只是在鏡頭前跑了跑龍?zhí)?，但他們?yōu)橛捌闹虚g部分帶來了一定的莊嚴感。

LIZZY CAPLAN LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
女士們，先生們！麗茲·卡潘來了

Lizzy Caplan stepped into Isla Fisher's shoes as the female component of this team of elite magicians with gusto. Not only was her character, Lula, a breath of fresh air amongst a few stale jokes here and there, but she was consistently hilarious, no matter what bit she was playing out.
麗茲·卡潘取代艾拉·菲舍爾，滿懷熱情擔當了精英魔術(shù)師團隊中的女性元素。不僅她扮演的角色盧拉在時不時出現(xiàn)的陳年老梗中就像一股清新的空氣，麗茲·卡潘本人就一貫充滿喜感，不論角色有多小。

Weaknesses
缺點

THINGS GET A LITTLE CONVOLUTED
事情有點難搞了

In this case, much of the convolution comes between Atlas and Dylan. A small part of the story, yes, but having these two at odds over something as unimportant as who's in charge is just one step too far. We understand why they needed to drive a wedge between the two, but we just can't help but think there may have been a better way to go about it.
這回，麻煩出在阿特拉斯和迪倫之間。只是影片中的一小部分，是的，但讓這兩個人為誰說了算這種破事兒鬧別扭，實在是太扯了。我們理解為什么他們需要讓這二位心生嫌隙，但還是忍不住想可能有更好的方式來處理這個情節(jié)。

WHAT WAS WITH THAT ENDING?
結(jié)局是怎么回事？

The ending of Now You See Me 2 leaves a lot more unexplained than should be allowed. At one point, you see all four Horsemen staring around them at photos and evidence that the Eye has been working hard behind the scenes, orchestrating far more than they originally thought. What seems the most unfair is that we never get a chance to see what has them so amazed. We are then quickly whisked off to a secret door behind a curtain that leads to a mysterious stairwell that we never see the bottom of.
《驚天魔盜團2》結(jié)局留了太多懸念，已經(jīng)超出觀眾可接受的范圍。其中有一段，你看到四位騎士凝視著周圍由“眼睛”在幕后努力得來的照片和證據(jù)，精心謀劃遠遠超出原來所想的計劃。然而最不公平的一點是我們從來就沒有機會看到是什么使得他們?nèi)绱梭@訝。后來，我們又被迅速打發(fā)到一扇神秘的門前，這扇門藏在簾子后面，通向看不到底的神秘樓梯井。

Ultimately
歸根結(jié)底

This is yet another fun summer film, not meant to be looked at too closely, but just complicated enough to keep you engaged from beginning to end. It doesn't concern any taboo topics, and it's an easy movie to escape into when you just need to get away from real life for a while.
這又是一部有趣的消夏影片，經(jīng)不起過細的推敲，但情節(jié)已足夠復(fù)雜，能讓你從頭看到尾。它無關(guān)任何禁忌話題，當你需要從真實生活中逃離那么一小會兒時，就可以躲進來輕松一刻。
