Ahora me ves 3

So I finally watched Now You See Me 3, and let's just say... the plot pulled a disappearing act on creativity. The story feels recycled just like a magic trick you've seen one too many times at a kid's birthday party. Honestly, it made Now You See Me 2 look like a masterpiece in comparison.

I did enjoy the cast reunion - Isla Fisher back in action was a pleasant surprise but beyond that, everything was just... plain. If you're going to make fans wait nearly a decade, at least give us something worth the wait, not a rerun in a new hat.

The only illusion here is thinking this sequel was worth the wait.

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.

"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.

My least favorite of the three movies. Felt like I was watching an escape room movie. Kind of boring. Love the actors, but just fell flat for me. Luckily I saw the preview for free. Just wasn't as thrilling and entertaining as the other two movies. I'd suggest waiting til it comes out on a streaming platform. . .
