50Kernel Score — Mixed or Average, 0 reviews
The Kernel take
A Metascore of 50 represents a critical shrug at a film that cost $75M to make but found its audience anyway, raking in $351.7M worldwide — proof that critics and crowds don't always align on spectacle.
Director track record: Louis Leterrier
Now You See Me trails Louis Leterrier's best-reviewed work, The Incredible Hulk (61), sitting at 50 against his 51-point average across 8 scored films.
Lead track record: Jesse Eisenberg
Jesse Eisenberg's appearance here represents a rare stumble relative to his own filmography, falling 6.2 points shy of his 56.2-point average across 19 scored films — a far cry from the critical heights of The Social Network (95).
