Die Unfassbaren 3

"Now You See Me 3" is by far the worst entry in the franchise.

While the second movie was already inferior to the first, at least it expanded the world and took the story in a new direction. With nine years to develop a sequel, you'd expect something fresh, ambitious, and worthy of the franchise. Instead, the filmmakers went for the laziest option possible: a blatant rehash of the first two films-especially the second-recycling the same story beats, structure, and even the same type of plot twist, just with different characters.

The movie is full of overused tropes executed in the most uninteresting way. The dialogue is poor, character interactions even poorer, and the new characters add nothing except clutter, stealing screen time from the main cast-who end up feeling like guests in their own franchise. Even the visuals feel tired and uninspired, which is especially disappointing given the potential of such a unique premise and the always-wonderful cast. With these characters and this setup, the film could have delivered inventive storytelling and striking set pieces-but it doesn't.

A fourth movie is teased, and if it ever happens, I sincerely hope they hire a writer and director interested in making the sequel this franchise actually deserves.

Now You See Me: Now You Don't is a fun, flashy, but ultimately forgettable. The first film was a tight, clever heist thriller, as was the second, almost; but this sequel feels overstuffed and rushed.

The new magicians lack depth... their skills and personalities aren't well-established, so it's hard to care. The original Horsemen (all five now) are still charismatic, but their roles feel sidelined in favor of underdeveloped newcomers.

The final heist is visually impressive but lacks the satisfying payoff of the first two films. The twists feel forced, and the revenge-driven plot drags down the fun.

That said, it's not a bad movie - just a missed opportunity. If you loved the first two, you'll find enough spectacle to enjoy, but don't expect the same magic.

6/10: A decent weekend watch, but nothing more.

This film delivers plenty of fun, energetic moments and strong chemistry among the cast, and my 11-year-old-along with many kids age 8-18 in the theater-absolutely loved the absurd, fast-moving magic and humor. Kids don't worry about whether the tricks make sense, and for them it's a blast.

But the writers, director and producers GROSSLY overproduce this flashy sequel to the max. Isla fisher wears a fancy dress in the woods or in action sequences that make your eyes roll. ANY REALISM from filmmakers would help.

For adult, the movie often feels closer to reality-show spectacle-think Masked Singer meets America's Got Talent-than a grounded cinematic story. Your magicians fight WWII Evil. The sets and character design are impressive, but the nonstop implausible stunts and plot holes make it hard to stay invested in the world they're trying to build.

Still, if you overlook the "jump-the-shark" magic moments and just enjoy the popcorn-movie chaos, it's entertaining enough. My daughter gave it an A. I landed on a B mostly thanks to Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg, who bring enough charm and humor to offset the rapid-fire absurdity. (We completed premier with Cinemascore voting.)

Like many sequels since the '80s, it tries to do too much-too many new characters, too much flash, too much caffeine-and in the process loses warmth, character focus, and believability. But it is entertainment, and we're glad we saw it in a theater, where the spectacle feels bigger and more fun than it would on a streaming screen.

The audacity of this film.

Practically, a new set of magicians uses the image of the former Now You See Me leads, and try to recapture their "Robin Hood"-esque quest. Then it trickles down to a ridiculous plot about a rich billionaire heiress who has a secret she wants to destroy. With the help of the old gang, the new kids on the block will use the film's brand of"Camera Illusion" because being a Magician in this film is not gonna happen - to turn the world around and help make things right.

I hated it the minute my friends said this is the one we need to watch. I just know nothing in this is gonna work at all. It never made sense for me. WHY is she faulted for the cascading incidents that resulted to her mother's death when she was a child? Or all these grandstanding and moralizing. Or how is something popular yet no one really knows him eye to eye or the worst thing - which is "camera illusion" magic. The film really wants you to let go of every little suspension of disbelief you could give. Even the biggest plot twist of the film is just plain ridiculous stupidity. AND IT'S NOT even witty at that.

The fact that towards the end, the best thing I could feel about this film is that it is unrelentingly stupid. It acts smart and it thinks as if it comments on something relevant, but it knows it is stupid and nonsensical. It is proudly bottom of the barrel and a million or so, would still come because sometimes it is fun to be brain dead. Dead dead, we are mortal after all.

That 2.5 film is because it never let me feel like something made sense. It pushes itself to puzzle me and make me feel like that money I spent was not worth it. It was the greatest horror Hollywood made this year and I am still having my nightmares!

I have just watched the third film in this series, set roughly 10 years after the last.

The whole movie is around 10 people bickering. It is exhausting to watch and listen to. This movie is definitely for a younger generation than the last as this sort of constant barrage of verbal intercourse reminds me more of college kids bantering than anything else.

So, regardless of that its okay. Nice to see the band back together. Nothing going to set the world alight here just okay.

We do end up with what feels like the 10 horsemen but feel free to disagree.
