As with the previous films, there are as many ludicrous plot holes as there are genuinely surprising twists, and little of what happens in the story would hold up to any kind of scrutiny. (Why are these stage magicians so well-trained in hand-to-hand combat?) But that’s part of the fun too.

The crime-fighting? That’s nice, but the real fun is in the bonding, most of it at the hand of oddly wholesome sequences in which they all try to one-up each other’s magical skills.

The movie was beyond my expectations and super funny. The actors were by far the most talented and entertaining individuals to bring the characters alive. Didn’t think that this sequel would be as good as the first several movies yet it was the best one for me thus far !

The original quartet of illusionists returns after 10 years (Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco and Isla Fisher) and they’re joined by 3 younger magicians. The plan is to steal the world’s most valuable diamond, but the elaborate heist goes on from there. The sequel was pretty terrible (I gave it 1.5 stars), but this new one is back on track. Here’s part of what I said about the original: “The tricks are cool, the look is glossy, the pace never lags and the writing keeps it tight. Just like a good illusion, it’s mostly flashy surface with minimal deep meaning (thankfully). Go expecting slick summer fun and you’ll be thoroughly entertained.” All that holds true this time. The locations add even more visual appeal, the dialogue is still snappy and director Ruben Fleischer has kept it slick. Abandon any hope of these tricks or the plot being remotely realistic and just enjoy the fun.

Like close-up magic, the Now You See Me films function best when you soak in the vibe rather than get close enough to unpick any machinations of magic trickery.

While Now You See Me: Now You Don’t proves undeniably entertaining, it’s more than a little exhausting as well.
Nov 11, 2025
When Now You Don’t tries to be poignant while pondering the passage of time and the loss of loved ones, the franchise’s glib construction cannot withstand the tonal shift. And the story’s relentless razzle-dazzle eventually feels laboured, sapping the fizzy fun.

That four-handed screenplay gives us 85 minutes of movie, and “Zombieland/Venom” director Ruben Fleischer drags that out to nearly two hours. That underscores just how much this disposable piffle outstays its welcome.

Pike’s preposterous accent is as close as the film ever comes to acknowledging its own premise’s inherent corniness.

Anything I would do for Jesse Eisenburg.I believe this to be an improvement over the predecessor, with more originality & original cast. Such as, I was happy that the female horseman, Henley Reeves, came back when I would be annoyed about her absence & seemingly replaced by Lula May (Lizzy Caplan) but she is not a replacement. Henley is iconic. I began to think that this could be a legacy movie when we got met with a trio of apparent magicians: Charlie, Bosco & June, whom I believed would be replacing the 4 Horsemen when I thought they died until J Daniel Atlas showed up. Then, we get excited for Morgan Freeman to be showing up at the upside down **** course, Veronika Vanderburg is the best villain - the matriarchy of a business & had parents who were magicians (maybe just her father). That diamond did not belong to her. And this factory reminded me of an antagonist from DreamWorks's "The Bad Guys". Find Fun to have more Horsemen, needless romance & one day where the franchise goes dry. Jesse Eisenburg, I will be up for your A24 musical & I want a 3rd "Rio" movie. I am unsure if anything like this can top the 1st "Now You See Me" movie.

Wow, how the mighty have fallen. Perfectly mid with a terrible villain. A mid movie with a great villain can pass, this doesn't.

Now You See Me Now You Don’t es de esas pelis que se sienten como un show de magia en donde te la estás pasando bien, pero también estás viendo claramente dónde escondieron la carta. Es entretenida, colorida y llena de energía, pero sus giros no siempre aterrizan y a veces parece que la trama se arma con duct tape y esperanza. Aun así, el cast lo da todo, la vibra es muy divertida y si apagas el “modo lógico”, te la pasas genial.

So many missed opportunities with this script. Whoever the Accent Coach was needs to find another line of work. Seriously. Rosamund Pike's accent went from South African to British to Southern drawl to Scottish in just a few sentences. Very distracting. Every time she was on screen, I spent more time listening to HOW she was speaking rather than WHAT she was saying. New cast could benefit from more time with acting coaches. Justice Smith is a great actor, though, but he was sadly wasted here. He delivered. His two younger co-stars, though, were flat and obviously scripted the entire movie. No depth in their delivery. They might as well have been reading from cue cards. The writing for this one was absolutely atrocious. Absolutely horrible. Sounds like it was written by 8th graders. All the original cast members appeared aged and tired. Every single one of them. Their delivery was in the same vein. There was zero chemistry on screen. None. The directing was non-existent. What was allowed through the editing room was more like a high school play than a Hollywood movie. Not worth the money, honestly. Very disappointed in this one because the first two were SO much better in comparison.
