Rating: C+

"Now You See Me: Now You Don't undoubtedly asserts itself as the most solid entry in this trilogy, raising the technical bar and finding new life in the reinvigorated dynamic of its cast.

However, all the superficial shine and aesthetic improvements fail to hide a script that confuses complexity with complication, delivering characters that function merely as pieces on a formulaic board.

Boring and stupid

Hard to believe that after so many years of hiatus, the franchise will bring such a stupidly boring movie.

The original movie was all about deception, magic, and surprises. This movie, however, tries to be a love child of Indiana Jones and Mission Impossible. It was less about magic and more about running and chasing.

Too many plot holes. A billionaire and her security act like completely stupid people. The magicians had no plans beyond stealing the diamond and then just running (really?). The new characters are uninteresting, somewhat annoying, and easily forgettable. There were some woke messages as well to make the movie stink worse.

While i will admit i watched this movie very high, I can confidently say that the script is utter garbage. Like another user said it's just constant 'chasing' things happen to the protags and the protags do,,, things- for no real reason either. There's a lot built into the plot that conveys to me that the writers are trying to say something about money. Imagery of things associated with the high life and wealth are constantly on display throughout the movie, but substance is highly lacking.

Sometimes there are dialogue sequences where it feels like the actors are reading the script for the first time and reacting to it live like it's some sort of blooper sequence and i found that funny.
