Because of edits and special effects, nothing that happens in a movie is really "magic" any more than the fact that it's magic that they can make Orcs and other Middle Earth creatures appear, when such things do not exist in real life. So in a way I think they HAVE to explain it for us to find it clever, whereas the same burden does not exist with real-world magic. <br /><br />Therefore, when there's some trick where Isla Fisher is floating around in a bubble, and then falls into Jesse Eisenberg's arms, but they never explain how they did that trick, it's just annoying.

And it moves REALLY fast...It is all over the place. And it moves REALLY fast, partly because there's so much going on and partly, I imagine, to kind of cover up what I imagine must be holes in the story.<br /><br />Still, I think it works, in its own strange way.Nick Priggehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17895803287589438170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-13605328922735687002013-06-04T12:11:59.730-05:002013-06-04T12:11:59.730-05:00wow. this sounds all over the place....and kind of...wow. this sounds all over the place....and kind of weird. :(Candice Frederickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16195801629178470295noreply@blogger.com
