Now You See Me: Now You Don't, 2025 - ★★★½

If you’re interested in watching the third installment of Now You See Me, you probably know what to expect, and it certainly delivers.

The key to enjoying this franchise is to simply go with the flow, letting the filmmakers mesmerized you with fascinating tricks until we arrive at the inevitable epic showdown. It’s such a fun journey that I don’t mind switching off my brain (almost entirely! lol) and letting them lead the way.

This movie still offers spectacular illusions, both visually and mentally. Now, with an expanded cast that adds fresh dynamics! I like how each member gets their time to shine, bringing their own unique skills and charm, especially with the battles between the old and new generations. 

The major drawback of the movie, IMO, is the pacing due to the need to introduce and reintroduce every character, while also having to follow the major storylines. Also, it’s hard to build up character arcs with this much character, and at times, it felt like everyone was just following the movie’s beats. 

Despite this, the film’s visual flair and impressive showmanship shine through. I believe that fans of the first two movies will likely find this installment an enjoyable continuation of this magical adventure.
