The biggest sin is that the sequel isn't called "Now You Don't"

i love this movie and honestly, no amount of sins and logic can change my mind

I don’t mind all the “wrongs” in this movie. I enjoyed it. And that’s exactly how I want it to be served.

The movie may be very stupid, and have many holes, but it sure is fun

The only part that killed it for me is the hypnotizing bullshit...the guy literally has comic book level super powers...how is he not not ruling the freaking world instead of being a struggling street magician?!

No sin for everybody having the exact same bank app?

see it may be a dumb movie...but damn is it entertaining

I think the reason behind them saying "For our final act!" at the beginning of their show, is because they meant their final act in Las Vegas. I got the impression that they'd been performing there for like a week or something and this was their final show before they moved on.

Oddly enough, the part where she grabs the guy to get his measurements is unrealistic but not for why you would think. It is wrong because it is unnecessary. When I joined the military they had this guy who worked in clothing issue whose job was to give you the right size service uniforms. He could tell your measurements down to the nearest half inch just by looking at you. We all lined up and he walked down the line and told us our numbers then we would grab from the box that matched. He was right 95% of the time. Most amazing thing I saw while there.

6:55 No, it's Morgan Freeman's entire job in LIFE to explain shit to the audience.

"The Magicians blame the robbery on the Black guy" 😂😂😂😂 I'm sorry that killed me

CinemaSins = The best way to wacth movies you dont want to waste time watching for real :)

Yeah, I know it's all bullshit. But it's a FANTASTIC movie.

On the "how do they deserve to get into the Eye" point - it was explicitly mentioned earlier in the film that initiates would have to take a leap of faith and follow instructions without knowing the concluding point. Additionally, their instructions involved things that only their own high-caliber, mildly (or not so mildly) fictional skills would let them pull off.

Who said that's his only bank account?

7:37 Dylan's father only tried to perform that trick because he thought he knew what the safe was made of and how it worked. But because the safe manufacturers cut corners with the materials they used to make the safe (which is illegal), the metal didn't react to water pressure the way it should have and Dylan's father was trapped inside. Plus, given that he was a famous magician and he was basically challenging the manufacturers' product quality with that trick, they would have known about the trick and should have been held accountable for, at the very least, not warning the guy that of the risk in using a possibly already defective safe in his trick

I love CinemaSins in general, but I completely disagree with this video. Dylan DIDN'T plan all of the tricks out, he DIDN'T know what was going to happen, so half of these "sins" are wrong. The Four Horsemen never knew who their contact was (i.e didn't know it was Dylan) and had to plan everything themselves. Dylan had nothing to do with it as it was his test of them, to see if they could do it alone. That's why he reacted to every little trick the way he did, because he had no idea it was going to happen in the first place. He didn't know how they would do it, he just wanted to see if they could.

I don't know why, but when I see you guys make a video about a movie I love but everyone hates, it just makes me love it more

that's actually a very low number of sins.

Six years late would like to point out that in an earlier shot we see Atlas casually open his cuffs in preparation for getting Dylan cuffed.

Shouldn't the sequel be called "Now You Don't"?

Just watched Now You See Me 2.. and ohhhh boy, are these guys gonna have fun with that one

"Morgan Freeman as the guy who bring phones to sites not allowed to" LMAO

Most of these are based on the assumption that Dylan planned the whole thing and didnt leave some of it to the horsemen. Who are Brilliant magicians in there own right.

To do this in real life? Easy. Unlock fourth dimension.

2:11 Dude sorry, but hypnosis is real and medically accepted. Hypnotising is a technic that deals with influencing specific parts of the human brain in favour of what you want, and everyone can be affected by it equally. It is even used to treat many psychological disorders like OCD.

3:03 why did they get a sin for doing something you said they should lol

I just assumed that the cards were magnetic

It's one of those smart movies that are actually kinda dumb, yet still pretty cool and enjoyable if one can restrain themselves from... thinking... for a couple of hours.

It doesn't bother anyone else that the plot twist relied on the guy not only being a high ranking cop but also being assigned to the case.

God, Bruce banner, lex Luther, Alfred, and Lucius fox! Holy super-actors batman!

Usually like these but cmon the “freeze” part is funny in the movie

I'm not convinced the sins near the start based solely on the ending of the movie were really justified. The entire point of a story's end is to give the audience a conclusion, which more often than not ends up being some sort of plot twist. Especially since Bruce Banner did need to do some of that stuff so that he wouldn't become a suspect and ruin the entire plan (such as running onto the stage when he knew he'd be tackled by 20 people).

the romance between the detective and french woman was what bothered me the most tbh. It was so random and completely out of the blue with NOTHING leading up to it. made absolutely no sense whatsoever.

My only question is: where did they got the money to pay all of their magic show things? Like, the houses, the equipments, jets, security and stuff. When they broke the old man they literally didn’t had any money

the movie aint this shity as it sound tho

Have to admit I liked this film, maybe more than it deserved. It takes quite a suspension of disbelief, but I still think it works. It helps that I love Jesse Eisenberg. I'd watch him in anything. Woody Harrelson, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Melanie Laurent, Mark Ruffalo... also very watchable. And I liked the twist. But yeah, I really am pretty good at suspending disbelief :P

You have to admit though, most of those weren't even sins, and this movie was absolutely fabulous. Hands down.

The woman in the tank actually almost drowned. Her fear was real

The funny part is, it has actually been proven every trick in this particular movie can truly be done. Yes most of it is chance, but also the trick with the handcuffs, he did actually control the environment, when someone gets arrested off the street they check pockets, n other stuff, but if you hide Bobby pins (they can’t be detected by metal detectors btw) in your hands, you can manipulate handcuffs and pull off the flip, but it’s still hilarious lmao

JUST REMEMBER! EVERYTIME MORGAN FREEMAN EXPLAINS THINGS. He gets a freckle.

I don't hate this movie because it's dumb. I hate it because it tries to look really smart.

These episodes are getting longer. Are movies getting worse or is he becoming more critical

Over half of these "sins" had nothing to do with continuity errors or plot holes or anything to actually critique. Most of this was literally just things that happen in movies that you don't like. Way to go.

I literally never understood the 4 Horsemen logo until I watched this video, wow. It's a 4 and an H, how did I not catch that in the movie?

I agree with most what he says. This movie was filled with flaws. And the Biggest flaw was the twist, that didn´t make any sense whats so ever. You need to be able to connect the solution to every pre happening scenes, not just come up with a some solution that no one expected, because it doesn´t make any sense.

6 years later and this is still one of my favorites!

“The magicians pinned the heist money on the black guy” 🤣🤣🤣👌🏾

I know that this series is less nitpicking and more making fun of nitpickers by taking it to the extreme but in regards to Dylan letting them I the eye even though he planned it and ran the investigation, as well as yelling freeze, I feel I should point out his goal was to test them so he did everything a normal investigator would do rather than someone who knows their whole plan.

3:00 It takes about 4 seconds for everyone to pull up their bank account. I was there. All the extras were saying the same thing about how stupid that was.

I wonder if Jeremy knew about the post credit scene

The " Eye" is nothing but a Merry Go Round? thats it? thats another sin.

This is probably my favorite movie I have ever seen. I wanted to defend my favorite movie by explaining some of the sins pointed out in this video. 1) (0:38) The reason for why Atlas got distracted by the card in his shoe is part of the character development. It was supposed to get the point across that Atlas does this kind of thing all the time, and it is no big deal to pick up another girl. 2) (0:49) Jack is supposed to be some kind of escape artist, lock-picking, pickpocket genius, so yeah, of course he can get into the locked room in like, three seconds. 3) (1:03) The introduction of the Four Horsemen is only to alert the viewer that they are putting on a show. The director of the film (wisely) decided that the viewer would probably not want to watch the entire magic show, so it just cut to their finale. The show was probably not just 7 minutes long. 4) (1:46) Magicians can't perform magic tricks without control over the environment, but Atlas _did_ have control. Remember, Dylan is the mastermind here, and Alma does literally nothing in this scene, so really, Dylan and Atlas are just putting on a magic show for her (without her realizing its magic, of course) 5) (4:13) The only reason Dylan yells, "Freeze!" is so that he has an excuse to not catch the Four Horsemen immediately, and instead pretend to chase them around Mardi Gras and let them get away. This also gives people reason to question Dylan's efficacy as an agent, thus giving him a reason to drink at the bar, have Alma get mad at him, and then find his way home. He knew this would make Alma feel bad, and decide to share with him the information she collected about "The Eye". Even though it is later explained that Alma was not part of his plan, it is apparent that Dylan is a genius, so it is likely that he just thought up this plot on the spot. 6) (4:27) Just look to the right... 7) (4:30) Tressler can afford the bodyguards because he isn't really broke. Sure, the magicians took all of his money, but he still owns his business and credit card. He most likely used his credit card to pay for the bodyguards, and he would just pay them off when his credit card bill comes in and he has earned enough money through his business. Also, Tressler is very disoriented at this point, and his entire life has been turned upside down, so he is not thinking very straight. He probably had a couple of drinks before Thaddeus got there anyway. 8) (4:57) Again, the only reason Dylan bothers to go through all the chasing and stuff is to keep the Four Horsemen following his plan. If Dylan didn't go after them at all, they would probably think they were in the clear and break the plan. 9) (5:33) That's not what I was thinking... 10) (6:47) The reason they could set up the giant "rabbit box" so quickly is because these guys are, in this video's words, practically gods (5:13). Also, they probably had some help from Dylan. Most likely, he started setting up the mirror on his way to get The Four Horsemen in their apartment. Or any time during the movie, really. 11) (7:25) The reason they are getting into "The Eye" is because they followed directions. Any other magician quartet would have chickened out after it got too dangerous. As it was, Jack and Merritt almost did quit back at the apartment, but Atlas and Henley convinced them not to. That's the end. The sins I didn't explain and refute were mostly things I, sigh, have to agree were a little weird. If anybody has any questions about these explanations, please reply!

You guys ruined movies for me. Instead of enjoying them I scan them for sins, constantly.

The only defense I can give for the FBI figuring out the Horsemen robbed Tressler so fast is they can probably access that information whenever they want. Citation: I was contacted by the FBI about a case and they knew my name, address, number (obviously), birthday, and Social Security Number all without me giving them any sort of "permission" to research me.

I think Dylan was actually trying to catch them. He was never letting them get away. He wanted to see if they could pull it off, If they could then they could join The Eye, if they couldn't then they'd get caught and never learn that it was Dylan who had given them the invite to The Eye.

The ending of this film drives me CRAZY... It's so annoying! "1....2...!!!!" Where's the 3!!! You said open your eyes on 3!!!

Why did you sin them for not checking their bank account on their phones and then pointing out yourself, that they do it right after?

I love how the sentence is exactly what they do in the second movie 😂

Imagine watching a movie with this guy

When she was trapped in the water tank. She was actually struggling to break free because she was actually stuck there for a moment and everyone on set thought it was just really goods acting lol

First off the guy was not broke at the end. He had 140 million dollars, they only robbed some thousands from him. So he wouldn't become completely broke in the instant, he still had a lot of millions to fall back on.

2:16 "Hail Hydra"

I've been lied to. The title is 'Everything Wrong With Now You See Me in 8 Minutes Or Less', but the video run time is over 9 minutes. SIN IT!

This movie actually managed to break my bullshit-o-meter

People don't seem to understand the point of this movie. Dylan was acting like a cop because he was testing the horsemen. He wanted to see if they were worthy, so he did everything in his power to try and catch them. He wasn't on their side, he was legit trying to stop them from doing what he told them to do.

Let's say thanks to you for giving more attention tp this movie more than anyone

I liked Now You See Me and I've seen it before, some of the sins were pretty funny though. Good job :P

Why is he counting it as a sin that the cuffs opened? It's supposed to be a trick. Not actual magic

I got a Now You See Me 2 trailer ad, lol

The Horseman were involved in it for a year, but Dylan had been planning it for far longer

Most of these sins can be answered with 'it's magic, it's never real, even when it's not in a movie' or 'they had a year to plan it out'.

Alfred and lucius fox, batman where the hell are you hiding?

the Social Network, Shawshank Redemption and the Avengers reference killed me

I'm no detective but I think no detective would watch a interrogation video "for fun" I mean besides the Horsemen they may have other shit to worry about

Feel like I’d mention that the scene where the actress was in the water trick with piranhas, the actress was ACTUALLY drowning- quite sad actually

Some Sins I disagree with here: Dylan planned for this revenge almost his entire adult life. That the four Horsemen pulled off their plan in a year isn't that hard to believe, knowing that. Then there's the problem of how the tricks are performed: Freeman's character debunks them, but we *never* get confirmation if he's right or not: it's all how he thinks it happens. Then there's the car chase: it didn't really matter if Dylan or any cop followed them, what they needed was witnesses to one Horseman's death and that bridge was packed. Also the vault manufacturer used low grade steel, which they said they didn't, which caused the vault to warp under the water pressure. Had they used the steel they said they used, it wouldn't have warped. It's a good CinemaSins, but not all of the Sins were thought through.

Just so you know the reason they became a part of the Eye wasn't just because they followed his directions. The mere fact that they pulled that off is a miracle they did everything right and they only had 1 year's time for that. They could have given up some point, they could have given the blueprints to the police when they first found it, they could have not cared when they found the blueprints and just moved on with their lives and they didn't even know who was behind everything, they did everything right, achieved the goal of pretty much all of that. Honestly if that couldn't get them in the eye I don't know what could.

You missed how the paper said he was orphaned by the father dying, but he says his mom didnt get the insurance pay out. So, he wasnt an orphan.

i feel like some of these sins wouldnt be sins if you had...you know payed attention to the movie (which I am sure you did so you get a sin for being a dick to the movie) Dylans purpose of acting all committed to catching the horsemen wasnt to throw the audience off it was to throw the rest of the FBI off while not drawing attention to himself as the leader. This whole year of fun hadnt been done in a just a year because Dylan had been planning long before that (so yes to your sin about him getting tackled of course he knew and did it anyway it was part of the plan), in the interrogation room Danny had control of the environment because his boss was sitting across from him (even though he didnt know) and had already made it so he would have control. And yes they did enough to get into the eye, think of this like a movie. Dylan was the writer/director and the horsemen were actors. Just because they took his blocking and his lines do they not deserve an oscar?

Only 8 minutes? I was thinking something about the whole movie length.

A movie about magic, which produces incredible illusions with practical effects and ingeniously thought out methods, uses a shit tonne of CGI so that the magicians can pull off stuff that is obviously impossible, miraculous bullshit. Come on, movie, how hard would it have been for you to hire a real magician as an advisor?

I like how it's in 8 minutes or less and it's an 9 minute video...good job

Best length of a video

I thought this was an amazing cinematic experience.

I honestly loved this movie. It was charming, unique, and the cast was great. Yeah the twist at the end kind of disappointed me, but I still really liked the movie.

First time I saw this was a few years ago and really enjoyed it. Just watched it again today and was honestly like "I think I'll give this away to someone..."

Lets be honest here. Even cinema sins cant make an amazing movie like this about magic and illusion look bad. Like cmoon even cinemasins is nitpicking as theres hardly much to put together to make this movie feel any less awesome.

I've been avoiding watching this video for so long because this is my favourite movie and I knew I was gonna get mad. I was right

I love this movie so much. It's sins be damned

This is one of my favorite movies

I love these films - jack😍😍

This was the dumbest movie I've ever seen in my life. The amount of things left to chance is unbelievable, it made no sense and the plot twist was stupid. Basically the one character that seemed like they would help make sense of the impossible things happening in the movie ends up being the chief bullshiter. Also how annoy are those dumb magician characters?

I would watch the Prestige over this anytime, much better intrigue and plot twist elements in my opinion.

A lot of these sins are easily explained and it’s making me mad that dude in the video can’t hear my protests

It's funny to hear Jeremy's voice in these videos from some years ago. His voicing has the same style, but in the in the new ones it got a little sharper, which makes it even better.

Am I the only one who understood why mark Ruffalo turned out to be the bad guy?

I liked the movie, sometimes u need to just not think about things and enjoy the movie.

When you see it like this, this movie sure as hell so many mistakes. But this and the sequel were so much fun to watch. I actually started looking for more movies about magicians and stuff.

Remember when he legitimately called out sins rather than puns?
