MAGIC IS FUN
魔术有意思
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.
《惊天魔盗团》系列影⽚秉承的理念就是魔术很有意思。在整部《惊天魔盗团2》中,观众和每位骑⼠⼀样,都是团队中有价值的⼀员。传播魔术的罗宾汉需要匿名⼈;每个⼈都要参与见证他们的戏法;忠诚的粉丝会帮助他们继续作独⼀⽆⼆的⾃由表演者,就像他们已经成为的样⼦。好消息是《惊天魔盗团2》⾥有很多完全可以实现的魔术实例。
NEW CAST MEMBERS KEEP THE FUN ALIVE
新阵容让观影乐趣只增不减
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.
在本章骑⼠传奇中增加了许多新⾯孔。丹尼尔·雷德克⾥夫加盟,假扮了惊天情节背后的神秘⼒量。尽管桑娜·莱瑟和⼤卫·沃肖夫斯基出镜时间并不长,也没有真正拿到多少戏份,但他们还是组成了很有意思的⼆⼈组。周采芹和周杰伦只是在镜头前跑了跑龙套,但他们为影⽚的中间部分带来了⼀定的庄严感。
LIZZY CAPLAN LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
⼥⼠们,先⽣们!丽兹·卡潘来了
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.
丽兹·卡潘取代艾拉·菲舍尔,满怀热情担当了精英魔术师团队中的⼥性元素。不仅她扮演的⾓⾊卢拉在时不时出现的陈年⽼梗中就像⼀股清新的空⽓,丽兹·卡潘本⼈就⼀贯充满喜感,不论⾓⾊有多⼩。

THINGS GET A LITTLE CONVOLUTED
事情有点难搞了
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.
这回,⿇烦出在阿特拉斯和迪伦之间。只是影⽚中的⼀⼩部分,是的,但让这两个⼈为谁说了算这种破事⼉闹别扭,实在是太扯了。我们理解为什么他们需要让这⼆位⼼⽣嫌隙,但还是忍不住想可能有更好的⽅式来处理这个情节。
WHAT WAS WITH THAT ENDING?
结局是怎么回事?
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.
《惊天魔盗团2》结局留了太多悬念,已经超出观众可接受的范围。其中有⼀段,你看到四位骑⼠凝视着周围由“眼睛”在幕后努⼒得来的照⽚和证据,精⼼谋划远远超出原来所想的计划。然⽽最不公平的⼀点是我们从来就没有机会看到是什么使得他们如此惊讶。后来,我们⼜被迅速打发到⼀扇神秘的门前,这扇门藏在帘⼦后⾯,通向看不到底的神秘楼梯井。
Ultimately
归根结底
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.
这⼜是⼀部有趣的消夏影⽚,经不起过细的推敲,但情节已⾜够复杂,能让你从头看到尾。它⽆关任何禁忌话题,当你需要从真实⽣活中逃离那么⼀⼩会⼉时,就可以躲进来轻松⼀刻。
