This film is slow paced and quite boring in the first half an hour, afterwards it starts to gradually get interesting but bounces back to boredom around the end. It's a very CGI-intensive movie, not surprising since the characters have super powers, but what puzzled me is that they use CGIs in scenes that don't require them. I've watched the dubbed version and (as you might have expected) it is terrible. I would have loved to watch the original version with the Russian accents (and authentic actors emotions).
All in all, I enjoyed the film because of its OSTs and CGIs. The story is mediocre and unoriginal, and could've been better. There is also unnecessary romance (like most of other films) which I don't like. If you enjoyed Now you see me 2, then go ahead and watch this.

This movie is all over the place. The storyline is really bad, makes no sense,and you can clearly see that the script wasnt written right. You can clearly see that it was inspired by Ocean's eleven, Inception,and Marvel and DC movies all at the same time, and the result of that is complete chaos. Many dialogs don't make sense at all.

The dubbing was absolutely the worst I've ever seen, I don't know if the lead was good or not because the voice over was the worst thing I've ever heard, couldn't get thru it!! This is the lowest rating I've ever given and for people to give this a 10 should be banned from this website unless they're kin to someone that had something to do with this movie, then you would be forgiven and just put on probation. I'm turning the channel as we speak, so I'm sorry is I offended anyone but a rating of 8 or more WHAT THE....??????

Zero new ideas, in this one - you will recognise styles and plot points blatantly taken from other successful movies, and mashed them together to give us this mixed up thing.
Not as bad as Asylum movies, but I have no respect for this type of "borrowing".

I'm not going to give a long drawn out review. I enjoyed the movie although the production quailities were not of the highest level yet very passable. It's worth a watch if you've got nothing else waiting for you on your DVR. I will say I have no idea what the ending meant. Like they started an ending scene and a third of the way through filing it decided, Ehhh, that's enough filming. Maybe I missed something during the 3 times I watched the end trying to find something. I just couldn't believe it had ended. Maybe a last scene halfway through the credits??? Nope!!! Still, I really do think it's worth a watch on a bad weather day/night, if you're just bored, or want to watch something that's a bit different then the rest of the SciFi films out there... Thanks... :)

When the actors clearly spoke English, why would you want to dub over with English?!?! Couldn't get over the voices being off. Could have been so much better.

I don't know why some ratings are low, I thought the movie was so cool! The special effects are out of this world!!! LOVED them!!! The actors are good, the storyline is alright...not the best I've seen but I was blown away by the visual effects so...I'd see it again. The only thing that bothered me is the main character's voice...it's so weird and unnatural...why?
Pretty good. For me it's not boring like some of people reviewed
Just don't have high expectation. You won't see much action like ocean eleven, so if you are an action movie lover I think you will be sleeping

Very cool premise and an attractive ensemble, but that's it.
Horribly dubbed-background noise louder that actor's poorly dubbed artificial American English voices (like other reviewers, I prefer to listen to an accent than what was provided), nonsensical editing, poor CGI and unnecessary for most scenes.
Just terrible. Would give it a zero, but a single star is the lowest available submittable rating.
Reviews greater than 3 stars must be relatives or employees of the production staff.
Trash ass movie i don't recommend it dont waste ur time ppl

The movie is 'cool and has some special effects and good acting, so what does it matter that a viewer doesn't really get what is going on at key points of the movie, especially at the end. Its a cool movie damit !
I wouldn't know who to blame for this, the director? The script?
I guess most viewers will see a nude king and ooo and ahh at the non existent clothes
Dramatic finale makes no sense

I've just wasted my time watching this movie. I thought i was the only one who noticed the aweful voices of the characterd and too much music on every scenes. So i went and search about thia movie. So i understand they have to use dubbing but it is the worst dubbing ive ever heard. The voices were so lifeless and it sounds like there is only one person doing all the voices for all the characters. If it weren' for antonio banderas i would never finish the movie.

This movie is great if you loved Oceans 11 and Inception you will simply love this peace of art...I think that movie is probably very low rated cause it is russian production behind it....I watched so many times,much worst movies with high recomandation and with high rate.This movie deserve at list to have rate 7 on IMDB,really I dont understund why its so low..I dont see any problem with scenario,actors or director....its simply genius,it could be more expensive in the sci-fi effects,to be perfect,but this still is pretty well,well done....if you are fantasy lover,watch it,without watching rate.Trailer looks pretty good,and I watch first time movie with so low rate.I am happy now for it,cause is 50 times better than I thought.

The movie was made for a Russian audience, not an America one. Although this distracted me enough to look up the movie info, I was happy to see it was dubbed. I would much rather hear audio I can understand blended with (not far off) lip gestures than read subtitles! This was done for our convenience and should not at all be reflected on the film quality or actors abilities.
Also, yes, the movie ideas have been done before. So what? How many time has Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, etc, been re-done??? At least this is a mix of "already-done" themes. I found the Oceans/ Now You See Me/ X-Men scramble very entertaining!

While visually striking, a terrible screenplay makes this a hard film to judge. Some ideas and concepts are OK but they're buried under a pedestrian and cliche ridden screenplay that makes the viewing experience very frustrating. I was rooting for this movie to work but with scenes of people full of really strong powers being subdued by goons with guns made me sad with disbelief.
