You know what film is an 8/10 or a 9/10? Wolf of Wallstreet. You know what film is not? Documentary on Magicians. Yet, judging by all of the high star ratings and glowing reviews, you'd think this film may win an Oscar(and one fake reviewer even suggested it!). Wrong. Fake reviews....they are plaguing IMDb.

Many of these reviewers have ONLY reviewed ONE FILM (This film!). The one reviewer who has multiple previously-reviewed films gives an unbiased, low rating. Surprise: 3 out of 4 people said his review was Not helpful. Weird right? A very insightful, unbiased review is met with such universal disagreement. I'm guessing These fake reviewers can't help but also sabotage legitimate reviews too. Pathetic.

Note to fake reviewers: at least pump in a few reviews for other films so you can appear to be a film fan and not affiliated with the film you are reviewing.

If anyone involved in the film (aka the fake reviewers) is reading this, please take note: YOU ARE RUINING IMDb! It has become a biased, fictitious ratings-land where the average consume cannot get an objective review of a film.

My suggestion: move along to a film that stands on its own merit and doesn't need to trick you into viewing.

If David Blaine, David Copperfield and Michael Bay made a film, it would be this.

The first film was cool: lots of flashy slight-of-hand, misdirection and stage magic that were slightly plausible in an "Oceans 11" kind of way. This poorly-written sequel is so full of holes and over-the-top illusions it borders on science fiction. The extra backstories just muddy the waters and the unnecessary addition of extra A-listers doesn't add to the story.

This films ties up some loose ends that you didn't realize existed from the first film and attempts to leave room for future films.
